Beautiful bike! Why did you get rid of it? A single seater version of that beauty would be amazing, like this bobber;

I just ordered a m-51 from USWings. I didn't know that this business was run by a Vietnam vet, it's amazing. I thought it was a bigger company. Only problem ordering overseas is the shipping costs from Ohio. Otherwise it's a cool shop :cool:

Nice 55j14. I was considering that very same Eastman but it looked too luxurius to me. Good Wait then! :D

Too much dough. Are they made in China too?

The Moore Custom guy collects G-1s from 422a spec to 7823D (early versions). 7823 A - B or C are all delightful, even luxurius. In the early 1970s, second batch of 7823D collars started to be synthetic. And since 7823E, overall quality went down and down. I own a Cockpit G-1 "Mil spec", this...

You can cut them and make a detachable vest. Check this arrangement in a Cockpit leather b-15; A warning about m-65 liner. The m-65 was an "extendend cold weather" system and it works. A real m-65 + liner is a sauna. You'd better have cold weather there.

I do plan to eviscerate a 7823C G-1 :D. I'm willing to replace all knits, lining and fur from collar. I just haven't found the perfect victim yet to perpetrate my crime. BTW, jacket-cide nº 2; lately I'm enjoing the handwarmers mod in one of my G-1s :D Probably that poor 7823C will receive the...

Sorry but the best shot you posted is the two guys with the shearling jackets :p ;) Keep them coming

With enough space, a cheap way to do this is grabbing a m-65 liner (mine was $6) and adding the buttons to the A-2 lining. With trim fitting, I'd just put a fleece sweater or vest on. Damn :p I use my m-65 liner for everything, best $6 investment ever.

That's around 2 inches too long. It's a classic. It's not a big deal for any taylor with a good sewing machine ;)

Hell no! ;) All jackets that fit my shoulders have the sleeves too long for me. Specially all the stuff that comes from the US. Don't you have shoulders over there? :D I always have them trimmed by a taylor [huh]

Seb and Smithy, I can feel your pain. I never get used to hot weather either. BTW, what's the "thermal sensation" in New York and above? Maine, Quebec, Newfoundland...? Colder than the real temperature?

Niether me. I only wear sneakers when I go to the gym, running or playing a match. Period.

My style goes like this; Leather flight jacket + khakis = chukka boots Biker leather jacket + jeans or khakis = engineer boots Suit + tie = regular shoes, never boots

A police badge shaped velcro still looks horrible on a jacket, even if "current issue" has them. None of the Cockpit A-2s have velcros in their current line. I have 3 of their G-1s but haven't tried any of their A-2, therefore I can't provide an educated opinion. Cockpit G-1s are very plain...
