Title: This Old Gear
Post by: 85RZwade on July 02, 2020, 01:14:38 AM
I found these in a tote, they were the first street gloves I bought after graduating from work gloves, circa 1988. They seem to have shrunk!

They protected my hands admirably in The Incident but suffered some. I sewed that palm patch on myself as an underfed college student, then color-matched it with an el marko.
Anyone else have some vintage riding togs to show?

I have a pair of those exact gloves, I'll see if I can find them and post a pic.

Never knew there was such a thing as a jacket.

Your gloves have held up better than mine!
The jacket, back in the day:

It's what we did just before replacing a rear tire  :celebrate:

Maybe, but I haven't seen it in years. Blue Malcolm Smith fanny pack that I used all the time, on road and off. I do still have the jacket and the red & white AGVs, though. My wife makes fun of them...it was the 90s, OK?!

 :clap: super matchy. Love it! I actually do dig the jacket. Not sure about the helmet and fanny pack, but I'm probably not cool enough.

I needed to replace an old Simpson helmet, and the Shoei was a screaming bargain. It's how I learned that my head is Arai-shaped!
