Dave are they your original leathers?  8)

i tried to put my old speedway leathers on to take the piss out of some workmates for a go kart day and got the zip stuck around my chest area. Mrs Hoony was out with the 2 little Hoon Shelia's and i had no help at hand.

the bloody thing was stuck tight and under pressure as  i had to suck my guts in to get it that far. i panicked when i had trouble breathing and started to hyper ventilate, luckily i managed to get it loose, i really shit myself that day vowing never to attempt to put them on again.  ::)

It's all come together Alvin. Looks great,...well done mate. I noticed that you have installed a padded chest/stomach
protector into your leathers. Is it comfortable?

Yes Mark.......I wear it for 24 hour protection........ :P :P
I'm actually wearing a back protector in these shots.......Mrs Purple said I would have to wear it on the OUTSIDE of my leathers, but, it was a struggle, and as you can see.........I'm still BREATHING......just...... :o

Just an update on the SC 500.........The bike is GOING STRONG now!!......after a few hiccups with carby tuning and a blocked pilot jet, which I didn't identify straight away, I now have the carby SORTED !! YIPPEE !!
IT'S NOW TIME TO RUMBLE !!
Today, I have sent off my entry for Round 3 of Sydney Dirt Track Series at Nepean on 14 and 15 September and THE BIG ONE !!.....Australian Classic Dirt Track Title at Temora on 5 and 6 October.........the last time I rode an SC 500 at Temora was 1974.......SCARY !!......I have to say....with the new Mitas tyres, the bike is handling much better than I remember it in '74......So, BRING IT ON !! ;D

When I first started this Project in 2013, I thought I would have everything sorted before the Australian Classic Title at Temora.........WRONG !!...............Late in the day at Nepean last Sunday, with some very positive input from JAP 454 ( Fossil ) and Sorelegs 11 ( Darren ) I think we have FINALLY solved the last problem,which has plagued the performance of THE BEAST for over 12 months............Poor fuel Flow..........So thanks to everyone who has helped me get to this stage, in particular Matcho Mick.....The bike's next outing is Nepean again on 31 August, then the Big One, the Australian Classic Dirt Track Title 2014 at Canberra 27 and 28 September. Now it's up to the pilot......... ;D ;)
