    Greg,
    I see this as the perfect Cigar Holder - Avid Rider garment for Brent.
    Easy access to the cigars, less delay in 'lighting up', place to put half burnt stogie in case of flame out,
    storage area for the butts. I'd sell it to Brent. Maybe $100-$200 bucks for this elite custom riders-smokers jacket.

    (actually looks more like you had lion or cougar attack somewhere out behind the Iron Horse)

      *Shrugs... Hasn't stopped me. lol. Mine is a bit worse for wear, so I'd definitely not win any fashion awards, but it zips up and holds all my padding/armor in place still. And, like my alternator cover scrapes... it helps remind me that my bike isn't a crotch rocket and I'm no spring chicken. To each his own.

        Yeah, a couple of crazy okies pulling into a rally on bikes with road rash all over, torn up armor mesh, and scratched up helmets. They'll put us up front just to keep a close eye on us.


        Yeah, I like it. I'm in.


        Still has all the armor in place. The left wrist strap is history. That jacket saved a lot of skin. The only road rash I got is a small patch on my left forearm.

              That jacket looks servicable, A little patching, maybe. The "distressed look" is quite popular in some circles, Commanding prices 1.5 to twice the cost of nice new stuff. Extra cigar pocket??!! now I am interested. But of course, I am cheap and have some old jackets already.

              Do not throw jacket away. Some of us could get rich with new clothing line for those who want to pose & look like they have "been there done that". Rabid Rider? Avid Rider?

                    Hey y'all, I got into my laptop case for the first time since I've been home and found a pleasant $uprise in there along with my AMA card I've been looking all over for. I don't remember leaving it there myself so I assume one of my brothers did. Whoever it was I thank you.

                    If no one else did then it was me and I forgot.....disregard. I was pretty doped up when I left the hospital.

                    Thanks once again to everyone who came to my assistance in my time of need.

                      Dang druggies.. I swear. Yeah, that's where Harry and I told you we were putting your stuff and the money in an envelope everyone chipped in on for you. We made you look at us and told you exactly where we were putting it so you could keep an eye on it in case of crooked hospital staff. I had no idea you hadn't found that yet.. lol. All the weeks out of work, the cash probably would have come in handy by now.. ya think? lol.

                        Ha ha....I SORTA remember that but then I just barely remember you and Harry stopping in. They were pumping morphine into my IV every 2 or 3 hours. I still hurt but I really didn't care.

                        Thanks y'all, came in handy now too. It was a nice surprise.

                          Honestly, I'd forgotten all about that. Everybody passed around a hat that evening and some people apparently felt sorry for you. Glad you came on here to mention it though. A few might have suspected I used it for gas and beer money on the way home. lol.

                              If it is a bed for him and Harry, it might be self warming. ..(OK, how was I to resist THAT one).
