\"\"It is glorious Fall! Crisp, dry, sunny and pleasant days make for perfect motorcycle riding weather.<\/p>\n

While I prefer to wear ballistic nylon motorcycle jackets, there are times when the “old guard” biker in me roars, “wear your leather!”<\/p>\n

I will not argue with my Leatherman alter ego! Lately when riding for fun (not for commuting), I have worn…

\n\"\"… my Northbound Leather blue-striped leather jeans<\/a>. These jeans are dual-purpose (motorcycle riding as well as BLUF\/Leatherman wear<\/a>) and are the most comfortable and quality leather jeans I have ever worn <\/p>\n

Not to be outdone by the Northbound Jeans, I wore my Schott Perfecto 118 Leather Jacket<\/a>. It is a comfortable, protective, and warm jacket perfect for when the temperatures are in the 50s (~13C). This is a typical, “old-school” biker’s jacket. I love it.<\/p>\n

\"\"I gave my Southwest Station Boots<\/a> their first full ride. They outperformed the Chippewa Firefighters<\/a> I have boasted about both in comfort and in style. <\/p>\n

I can also attest that they are waterproof (but don’t ask how I know this; close inspection will show some mud on the boot treads.)<\/p>\n

Here I am: \"\"Not shown in the photo, but I also wore my thick, warm, long-sleeved leather shirt<\/a>. This shirt is well broken-in and is soooooo comfortable. <\/p>\n

Long gauntlet leather gloves<\/a> kept my hands warm.<\/p>\n
