Well, to put it mildly, after some 'initial wrestling' I feared these were just not right for me as I simply could not get my feet inside.
Gotta share my gratitude to @Chesson without your help today man, I think I may have given up, or at some point soon passed out!
Now my feet are in, I love em!
Couldn't be happier with this bag! If the military made bags, I doubt it would be tough as this.
Absolutely love the brass snap swap out too, IMO the perfect marriage.
I'll hopefully report back later this week when I have more time to experiment with badges, and the volume of beer it can house.
Little 2 week photo update, modelled beautifully by my 5 year old. They've been worn almost every other day and are already taking in some character. I'm stoked 
Weekend attire, and I’ve received untold compliments. Gutted, in part, I’ve taken some 45 years to find a brand that compliments me. Hats off.
Despite the warm weather today, I took the right decision and pulled this indigo mo fo out of the wardrobe, makes me smile every time I do. Glad I swayed towards *edit the 'M', as it offers just the right amount of air movement.
As I've said my piece on the merits of this shirt, here are some, at best, ropey at home shots of the large, which I finally settled on. I think the fit works okay? XL ballooned on lower back, and the extra length I thought I needed looked more akin to an overshirt.
I'm interested in the pimp options being talked of. Considered, before it was too late, switching to turq. snaps on just the final two cuff clasps, a signature statement as opposed to an all out swap. Has anyone ever done this?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Giles, enjoy the beer and your day off 
Hi Brock, so sorry to read this…Sending my thoughts to you and the family. Take care brother.
Cheers @motojobobo I could not agree more. The TV coverage and action at the Red Bull Ring in Austria last week had me in knots. What a race!
Thank god indeed, can't imagine the disappointment of heading there for it to cancelled. All for the right reasons of course, conditions looked atrocious.
@neph93 Seem this one before? Not sure whether to feel flattered or a little scared

Took the wife and kids to experience the MOTOGP at Silverstone this weekend. Colder than we'd expected, but for my wife to say she had an amazing day, that really sums it up. We sat in the Village B grandstand overlooking the loop, and the noise these machines emit climbing to full chat down Wellington Straight is still ringing in my ears. WOW!
Was good to chat to the girls and boys on the Harley Stand between races, and try out for size the new Triumph speed twin.
@Joberwocky That's a solid choice of blade there mate! Mine has never let me down. The ZDP-189 steel is a worthy upgrade indeed. So impressed, I've bought them as gifts for a few choice mates, all of whom rave about them.
Thank you @Giles, I missed this first time round. Evidence in itself to not snooze the forum.
@Tripleterror Saying whilst 'tipping my cap', If you get the chance, it'd be great to hear more about your build and fill in the etc etc etc.. 
PM me?
