Default Leather jacket for 25 bucks

A little while back the local dealer had a sale anything you could fit in a gift bag (about the size of a dictionary) motorclothes etc... for 25 bucks. They were having a raffle, free food and drinks, a good time. This one guy get his gift bag and proceeded to stuff one of those $300 leather jackets in it. After an hour or so he figured it out and they sold it to him for 25 bucks!!! I thought it was physically impossible but he figured it out.

I guess you really can stuff 10 lbs of sh*t in a 5 lbs bag after all.

I travel alot, so packing is something I do regularly. Packing a new leather jacket in a dictionary sized thin plastic bag would be a challenge.

That's a great story, I'll see if I can get our local dealer to come up with a similar promotion.

That's awesome! I wish they'd have one of those sales around here. I'd be the king of eBay!!

He must have been a smaller guy. However, if he can pack a jacket to fit a 275 + pounder like me, I'll give him an extra $50.

When I was in Navy bootcamp they taught us techniques to fold all our clothes up in very small bundles. It is a skill I wish I'd have kept up, because now I have no idea how to do it anymore.

I honestly wouldn't pay $25 for one of those "made in China" jackets that Harley sells.

Wonder how you could fit some new pipes in a little bag.
