        In the US they have the Race of Gentlemen,which I’ve been to several times. This looks way cooler. Especially in Normandy.

          @Jett129 That is an event i'd like to attend, too.

          A post on the Hen's Teeth Instagram was about this event:

                Not exactly a motorcycle but hopefully close enough??

                IHGB-01 brown, 5 years, very lightly used, mostly for around town errands. Very comfy gloves.

                        @nik they’d work nicely on a bike. Super soft, pliable. They have an inner liner (mesh) but they won’t be warm winter gloves.

                          Getting ready for a trip to Cusco/Machu Pichu later this month.
                          Just checked brakes…all OK
                          Dropping her off for a good wash while I wait around.

                          That ugly yellow stain on the paralever arm was caused by gas from the leaky tank (it washed off some glue from an electrical tape wrap) and I still can’t get rid of it. At least the leak is long gone.

                                Not sure whether motorcyclist imprints are a good or bad thing on nice footwear, be that as it may, this is how it shows up after an average of 4 years worth of use. Very light use at that…I’d estimate an average of 100 ‘motorcycle-use days’ for each shoe/boot. Keep in mind this is very light and casual ‘motorcycle duty’. Generally around town tooling around: running errands, meeting people for coffee, a barbecue at a friend’s place; stuff like that.
                                During real bike trips I use other more dedicated footwear.

                                Wheat roughout
                                IMG_0844.jpeg
                                IMG_0849.jpeg

                                Black roughout
                                IMG_0845.jpeg
                                IMG_0850.jpeg

                                Mushroom chamois
                                IMG_0846.jpeg
                                IMG_0851.jpeg

                                Natural crust horsehide
                                IMG_0847.jpeg
                                IMG_0852.jpeg

                                Clearly the roughout leathers have suffered the most imprinting, and the wheat and the mushroom ones are the heaviest hit.
                                The black roughout shows up strongly ‘tarnished’ on these pics, however IRL it is hardly noticeable.
                                Interesting find, for me, to see how little staining my natural leather on the crust horsehide shows. I’m assuming it is down to it being a smooth leather because as a natural (and quite light colored) I’d have expected stronger stains.
                                The brown waxed flesh emerges remarkably unscathed. Guess that is what they mean when they market it as a hard core work leather.

                                The journey is the objective.

                                          “Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.”
