    Hello Windward;
    Great pictures. Your jackets always look like poster boys for Aero Leathers.

    Regards,
    coffee

    What's the saying: "Ask and ye shall receive" Thanks all. Ok thinking this is what I am going to order:

    2-pocket Cafe Racer
    Vintage brown FQHH
    Size 46
    + 1" sleeve length (what I did for my LHB)
    Satin lined sleeves
    Biker's back/half-back

    Pretty basic, nothing fancy.


    According to Amanda I'll have a 10-12 week wait which should give me time to break the news to "she who must be obeyed." However, I think I'll need a very carefully thought out plan on how to introduce the idea of a new Triumph Scrambler. Suggestions?

    LOL. That's the manly way to do it, I agree. And there's always the house in Winchester I could move into after the dust settles.

    True. Still trying to decide if your good advice would be a good thing or not. I'll tell you this: we should meet sometime in Anderson or Muncie for a beer to two. That's the least I could do for you in consideration of the advice and direction you have given me so far (seriously).

    We certainly should...and very well could. I would offer no advice or direction over beer..nor politics or religion.
    Thanks for the compliment.
    Let me know when you are in the area!

    Funny, I've been trying to pry the Scrambler into a conversation as well. Not done it yet, sans a couple "hey, look at this" on the iPad late at night. Pics of the scrambler in matte green. Baby steps...

    Earlier this spring a pal and I decided we were going to get bikes this fall when our kids are at college and we're "empty-nesters." The idea was received with a chuckle and an "ok, but I'm not getting on the back of it." Perhaps it was the several beers but she seemed open to the idea. However, I probably need to confirm college will be paid for BEFORE I bring up the idea of a bike again. (However, I do have life insurance to cover college and the mortgage so....).

    I'm thinking the same thing: Scrambler in green. Seems to me to be the classic British bike. If you haven't done so already check out the Scrambler video's on YouTube.
