they already have...I saw some at the Oyster Run last year

I loved that place when I was there out on boulder hwy....especially the cute young blond in the torn jean mini mini skirt that didn't really leave alot to the imagination.....and every now and then she would bend over straight legged to get something from a lower shelf.

I understand she's married though.....what a shame

Now that the cancer is eating my dad pretty good, I got to asking about some of his old riding gear. He had a cool vest a great jacket, both covered in patches and pins. Turns out my former step mother threw it out during an argument! What a bag...

been riding for 46 years
got my first harley 43 yrs ago
my jacket has 2 patches, my vest has one.
I guess I should have spent more time gettin pins and patches instead of just posin

I do see some really neat vests now and then, prob lots of stories to go with 'em
Also seen some old vests with patches and pins for sale here and there
I guess I could scarf a few up and make a long timer vest
or just go for a ride ....I mean putt

HD did that several years ago and they may still be doing it. About 15 years ago I bought a leather jacket called the Panhead that has a distressed look. That was before I found out that there were "posers" and I could be taken for one.

Truth is, lots of us old farts have a lot of experiences, some good and some bad to tell if the young-uns took the time to talk with them... just as U just did with this one.
