Post by: 090 on April 06, 2008, 10:54:49 pm

Im chasing a few different things as i do collect all sorts. I am after in particular, a set of usuable leathers (pants)size 34-36,gloves of the mid 70's era in a large size and also a set of goggles, especially a set of Carrera's. I am interested in all sorts so tell me what you have.

What years are you looking for ? i sold a yellow leather set of pants a few years back but still see them now and again in S/h shops even though no one would be buying them :O) they have the padded cirlce hips.

i havea late 70's early 80's Combed cotton Tyco honda top, the one with the padded chest ( god knows why they put that in there its like cotton wool)

i know it around somewhere and was in good nick last time i used it - going by this bike id say late 80s was the last time i used it and it was still in good nick and would have been its last time out.  :D

I need leathers to start with for when i ride pre'75. A period jersey and goggles like the Carreras and such. But i am interested in all. If you want to sell the Tycon im interested. Gloves as well. Want to gather it up for cd5 if possible.

Geoff Eldridge used to wear that Wheels of Man riding gear back in the day. He stopped when the poofter jokes finally got the better of him.

I wonder if 'the Wiggles' got their inspiration from these guys?
Are they a Band? 'The Pit Wiggles' maybe?

If you're referring to the padded Tycon jobbies (similar to a Baseball Umpires protection) I remember they give you a set of tits when adopting the seated position...
