NOW i remember who used to sell my leathers, it was Bates! I bought a set of blue and a set of red Bates roadrace leathers, just like the striped ones in the top right panel of that first ad, with the optional Mandarin collars. They were made by Brooks of England. I don't know where the red ones went, but I still ride in the jacket and pants of the blue ones (in my avater) today.

Good ol' Bates...
I miss those Norton girls, but I could hardly understand them when they talked, anyway.  ;D

While I have no experience in such things, I think the first chick from Rivettes is hurting, the rest are OK. I would say the Norton chick has the look.

Yes Nick she is. I am sure she has a great personality.  ;D

Now these are high quality leathers with built in impact padding in the front:

This is a re-post, but a nice re-post...



And this is a very wholesome model too, unavailable to 99.999 percent of us!
