Sadly the sleeves are too short and chest is a bit tight, would have been a perfect find otherwise.

I think I finally found which jacket is mine ! : Stears Hercules A3 Steerhide http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160652045876?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649#ht_500wt_1180 Unfortunately this one is a little small. I need 24in armpit to armpit across the chest.

I hear you, I do like a thicker hide on my back. Oh don't worry about the fall though, I wear a layer of armour underneath my clothes. It's the pride that's hurt when one falls under 200kilos of motorcycle. Trying to pick it up again is pretty embarrassing too. :)

Thank you that's very kind of you to say so.

Yes, it's the best thing I ever did with my life, but it's not for everyone.

Hey, yes that's getting very close. I can see I will have to try more search terms, I didn't find anything like that when I was looking.

Yes, I hope to hear from SuperiorFlight soon, mailed them last night.

It's a modern Triumph Thunderbird 900 from the year 2000. Not ideal for traversing Africa, but actually did a sterling job through jungles and deserts and the worst roads in the world. It has a lot of scars to prove it. Many immigration and customs officers would salute me as I passed through...

Yeah the fit was a bit loose, which helped when putting on more layers underneath for the mountain crossings. Yes it was a sheepwool lining, but the jacket had quite a few holes in it which I taped over with silver tape to stop the wind getting through.

Ooo yeah, now were cookin' with gas. I'll post that guy a mail about his jackets, very close indeed. Thanks garzo

Thank you for the link. It's another option, though I think the Air Comfort still the closer. Does anyone know an expert on the forum that is good at identifying make/model/year ?

Howdy there. :) Actually I do have a fixed address for the next 2 months, which is long enough for such an order. I was considering buying the Air Comfort, though a touch expensive, but that was my limit, going to an Aero with modifications is going way beyond. I like the idea of...

Oops sorry, I don't like to offend. Perhaps I was a little curt. True it is a solution, but it is too expensive for me, and not the same colour as I would wish. Thanks all the same

Ai ai, I'm not going to get into this story here, perhaps in my "memoirs of a maluca brasileira". :)

Yikes, long winded, expensive, wrong colour. Cheers :)
