Jacket - Long way roung?

Hi guys,

Was just wondering if anyone can help me?

Does anyone know the brand and name or where I can get hold of this
jacket worn on the Long Way round by Charley? Ewan had a grey one too.

Cheers for any help.

John.

 

It's the BMW Rallye suit - ask your local BM dealer.

That's from BMW's own range. Go to a BMW dealer ...

I'm thinking there are shedloads of pefectly good alternatives with much
lower price tags, but I suppose 'the badge' dictates the ridiculous
price, doesn't it?

Not just the badge Loz, it has been worn by a "TV Personality" innit,
which makes it double the price to punters.

Anybody happen to know what type of jacket Molly wears?

 

I'm likely to be in the market for some all year round bike wear as
mine's getting a bit frayed after 4 years use. Any recommendations?
It's currently a H-G Jacket and H-G Tuareg trousers and still very
weather proof just shabby.

 

It's a BMW jacket, which is why it has BMW written all over it.

Visit www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk, go to the Products area on the left and
click "Rider Equipment" then go to the "Motorcycle suits" section and
look at the "Textile suits" area. It's not there as it's a bit old. I
would suggest going to any motorcycle shop and save many of your pink
pounds by purchasing something without BMW on it that is equally
lovely.

I saw someone wearing one recently. Two people were standing in Rye's
infamous 'bike park' next to their brand new BMW R1200GS with matching
textile suits, matching BMW helmets and the husband with a Nicorette
Inhalator. It made me want to cry.

You'll have to stick needles in my eyes first, and then I won't be
needing it anyway

If what you already have has served you well for four years then go with
your own recommendation.

 

Yes, dear, but nearly everything makes you want to cry.

You don't know me and are unqualified to make that statement.

That was very rude of me. I didn't ask who the **** you were.

 

Thos two BMW riders might be thinking the same, you know.

 

Perhaps there is an upside to BMW ownership after all... the necessity
to pay for the gear meant giving up smoking.

What might they be thinking and why might they be thinking it?

 

Ho hum, each to thier own...

Mo Childs emerged from their own little world to say

I'd say go for the H-G stuff again.

There's little point buying any of the stuff that cost more than H-G as you
are likely paying extra for a brand without getting any extra protection or
durability.

Unless, that is, you are willing to spend 3-4 times as much for Rukka or
Halvarssons stuff which might be a worthwhile investment.

 

It's not difficult. You made a judgment about the BMW riders from what they
wore etc. Marina made a judgment about you from your posts.
