Gave some love to both Mr Lou's

I've also stepped to the darkness...

This pretty sums up my view about this subject.
I'm 60, still riding Choppers, messing with cars, gals (my wife ) and booze. Life will slow you down a bit but more active you are, happier and healthier you'll be. Don't ever stop. Train karate, go to gym, go to see gigs and dance like nobodys watching you, and most of all don't give a fuck.
That's actually almost the best part being in the last quarter of your life. Not giving a fuck. If you have done so in earlier life, after fifty you usually start not to.
I think the best part of getting old is to see that your kids get along in life and to see grandkids grow up. Small things make me happy.

Shit happened last sunday. Blew out rear tire at around 100km/h. Lucky to be in one piece, I was able to keep the bike upright and luckily there wasn't incoming traffic just at that time. Took me several hundred meters to tame the bike which was swerving from lane to lane...

got me a "new" daily transporter

As today was sunny with +15 degrees Celcius me and the ol'lady decided to hop on the bikes and ride to a nearby city Lahti to have some lunch and visit Ace Cafe (1st franchised location) and motorcycle museum which is in same location.
I also was able to test my new Beeline MotoII GPS/Speedo. Way better that the first edition. Recommended.

Got me a new set of wheels with thick tires. No lowprofiles for me.

about -77

@landownunder Vanson CHP. SanDiego Leather CHP with Vertical zip, Legendary Black Stallion (CHP, Old Version made by Schott)
Vanson for warmer weather, San Diego for mild weather and Black Stallion which I have has zip-in liner for cold weather. Tha last would be my choice if I'd had only 1 jacket.

And nobody here mentioned IHs own bootcut jeans, Not sure if they exist anymore and Japan might be the only place to get them. When I was looking for decent bootcut jeans years and years ago I stumbled to those and bought lightly used pair. Rest is history. If you dive to what are you wearing thread and search my posts, there should be pics...might evewn be 634s with cowpoke boots

I just found Pinot Grigio grape so I'm studying that now, red wines anything full Tempranillo grape...

I would search 555's as they are the "hens teeth" for me. They have roomier top block and higher rise than 666, one needs just to be very careful with thigh measurements. I almost screwed up totally when buying the 19L denim in 33 as all others I have are 34's, They are quite lower rise than others I have (+ thighter in thigh), 18 vintage new and old fabric, 14ozers and 555N. The 18oz 555s are loosest ones and I think they might do the trick for you if thigh measurements are OK (about 19L fabric, It suprised me... didn't read the description carefully enough) Just my 2 pennies...

@SFMCfranky Say Hi to Kalle

I got mine, thanks for the fast delivery.
These are in my opinion the most rigid fabric after original 21/23oz. I like'em, and keen to see how they loosen up, or do they? Anyways nice addition to my 555 collection: 2x original 18oz vintage, "new" 18oz, 17oz 14 oz and now 19oz'ers.

@Damocles I have also later ones in Maryam leather, also in 9E and they fit similarly as early Horween. I think if the fit has changed they'd changed the last, and I think they haven't. My best bet is that go up with width not lenght. This is based on my pair of BOSS and 2 pairs of Lous.

@Damocles
same size but E width instead of D, I think this was pretty much rule of thumb when Lous' came out. Works for me. (looking at some advice here I hope it's not the same folks that buy 2 sizes down jeans and hope they'll stretch....)
