I agree, the brown J100 is phenomenal.

Hey Butte friend, I love it! One of the most beatiful cafe racers I have seen for ages. Good taste again but when you sold your A-1 you totally misstepped

Buddy ol' pal. I certainly did NOT want to sell it. But when I lost 35 pounds and a full size in a jacket, it was simply too baggy. Trust me, I lusted after that piece ever since I saw Allen's pics. Got it and was in love. Good for me I lost the weight. Bad for me I lost the weight.

Glad you lost 35 pounds but that was the jacket. THE JACKET. A fix by your local taylor, a donation to your local museum, a lease to Goodwear Leather for replication,. whatever! I have been into leather jackets for ages, you know it, and I still haven't seen such a beauty like that A-1. That jacket was epic. If I close my eyes, I still can remember those leather accents.

I asked JC about doing alterations before I sold it. If the expert said not to try it, then I had to go with that. I was willing to pay to get it done of course, but I took his advice. OTOH, he made up for it with the Ventura. I feel almost bad that I like this jacket so much because it's kept me from really putting effort into getting another jacket.
It also helps that I'm broke. Thanks to construction and my daughter's wedding, I have to like what I got for a while...and cry over that A-1. Thanks pal lol

Like your twin brother Gary Busey!
I don't know a thing 'bout construction in California but when it comes to chose between your daughter's wedding and that beautiful A-1...
Wedding party, honey moon, mortage, one child and half and divorce! Everybody is doing it. [huh] Grab another GW instead, what the hell.
Some quick photos of two of Dave's J100's, in black steerhide and brown HH;
The black is brand new.
The brown is I believe a couple of years old. (Purchased used.)
Any back pics?

Got it from the Gap several years ago. Not sure if they still carry them.

Sorry- haven't had a chance to list them properly, but the only two-tone J-100 pics I've seen from DD are mine. Someone here posted about it. It's also pictured on VLJ.
Gotta get my sales thread together...
Here's alink to a gallery of both jackets, though:
