    Been going thru some old bike mags and came across this piece about bikers leather fashion.

    I don't quite think the photographer knew much about biking or bikers.....



    Yes the GOLD leathers were actually on offer from a major bike chain for £89.... 8-)

    Anyone for Badmington.......... ;D ;D ;D



    I can only presume the photographer had an evening job taking porno shots...............

    .....Oh......my.....God......

    Why is the guy in the second picture holding a badminton racket?

    ...and I can only guess what the guy on the left has found that makes him pull that face!! (3rd picture)
    Imagine the look on his face if his hand was a foot further down south! ;D ;D ;D

    Oh My God!!!

    I'm very worried by the idea in the first pic of the guy on the bike riding in flares and platform boots!!!

    But the gold leathers are just fantastic, i could see them coming back and being a huge craze.....Not!!!

    I can assure you that many of us did in the 70's. Most riders were youngsters with not much money.

    Here is a pic of me on my GS1000 in 1980 - Jeans and cowboy boots (fashion of the time) - they made excellent cheap bike boots. Dr.Martens were also popular and were standard wear for a majority of riders.



    Most younsters wore open face helmets in the early 70 - full face helmets were an expensive novelty too most.

    Howz about this for a picture then......................

    Me and the missus went for a spin on the GT380 in the hot summer of 1977 and I took this picture... 8-)
