Would be a great excuse to head out west to get all your measurements done for the best fit.

So I'm curious. The leathers look fabulous -- nothing short. What does one do for the rain ?

Finding this picture prompted to give Frank a call and I'm glad he did. I confirmed he is 75 and still working so I told him he's my hero. He spent a month last year with his wife in Australia. We used to host the Australian motorcycle riders from the Electra Glide Down Under web forum. He said he was treated wonderfully by his hosts and fell in love with Australia.

I've just got to get down there for a visit.

1. Get damp and cold - Some see this as a Rite of passage. I have done so - and I don't.
   
2. Waterproof over gear - This can be really bloody awkward esp if the leathers are already dampened.
   
3. Get Hydrophobic Leather - This at least wards off drizzly stuff. And keep them well greased up.

1. Overall comfort - on and off bike.
   
2. Pockets. Hello - Leathers mfrs!. Bellows pockets please.
