Default Inherited Jacket.

Hello everyone... I'm very new to the HD world. In fact I don't even own one. My uncle past away recently and my family gave me this jacket cause they know I like motorcycles. Unfortunately I'm a young brat with a sport bike and probably won't ever own a Harley. So I'm posting this Link to my ebay page. I just want to get rid of this thing. That might make me a bad nephew but one could argue this jacket deserves to live in the Harley world and not shamefully protecting me on my suzuki! Sorry to post this here but I won't be on your forum long enough to qualify to post in the classifieds. The reserve price is 185 btw. Its the mandarin collar Willie G Size Large.

Thanks y'all,
Carter

DO NOT get rid of that jacket! You will definitely regret it in the future. I was a sport bike brat back in the day myself. Now I have progressed into my Harley, but I still wish I could have a crotch rocket too!

OH yeah, wear it with pride on your sportbike! It isn't a fashion show.

Another vote for keeping it. In a number of years you may wind up on an HD, and if you have a new bike, you'll have a vintage jacket to go with it.

I gave my daughter-in-law my 25 year old jacket because it didn't fit any more. She wears it on my son's sportbike.
