Hi all, You can almost blame Stew for this topic! In another post he made mention of wearing a Davida pudin basin helmet while riding his 250 Ducati. I have the same helmet which I wear while riding some of my classic Honda's and Matchless, however I have been known to wear "other" clolthing while on the old Hondas. Here is an example of true sartorial elegance;  The occasion was the 1999 Birdwood Classic in Adelaide, and the bike is my 1962 Honda C72 Dream, which is in original unrestored condition. As an aside the Birbwood Classic, which is a run for classic cars, motorcycles over 30 years old, is on again this year on 30 September and is worth a look if you are in or around Adelaide. It is the claimed to be largest classic vehicle event in the world. A a further point of interest, the early SR500's will be eligible for entry in the next Classic in 2009, as they will be ovwer 30 years old. CJ |

Priceless!
I'd never have the balls to wear a helmet like that. People don't want to see my ugly mug!
But I tell you what, when i write, film, direct and produce my 1971 highway patrol TV mini series (Like "The Bill" but with with HT Monaro Vs CB750 chases) I'm going to cast you as an extra!

The white shoes are not Golf shoes. They are my Navy dress white shoe and were everyday wear for me while I was in the Navy and we were in our summer uniform.

My apologies, I forgot to give credit to the "designer" of my outfit. This fine example of fashion was purchased from that most iconic Australia fashion house "VINNIES", were you can find the best fashions at the best prices!

Not sure about the Clare Valey mate, but some of teh gear I've seen getting aroud Sydney lately......you could probabaly flog it off for a tidy profit.
I met a mate in a "trendy" pub the other day, and was actually asked "why the mototrcycle look" by some lady
"......um, I rode my bike here?"
Seriously.

Milkman, the same thing happened to me at the Empire hotel a while ago. "Wow, you look like a biker!" "...I am." Make a mental note: Don't get caught talking to her later.
Colin, there seems to be a few ex military blokes here. Well, yourself and Stew anyway. Out of interest, what did you do in the Navy?
