I was riding around Monroe NY a couple of months ago and that bike was in the window of Chuck Zitto's tattoo parlor. It is really cool up close.

Really cool guys in this place by the way.

Not for $400.00. I'd rather have this one for $189.00

Guess I need to come out from under my rock more often. This is what I remember the Marlboro man wearing.

Ive seen a couple of guys wearing those jackets, looked good in the film but in real life I don't know, I wouldn't wear one.

Then we won't have anything to talk about.

I think it's cool. I bought a patch set and a similar base jacket and made my own a few years back. ended up selling it..........wish I still had it. everytime I wore it a lot of people liked it.
It crossed my mind to paint my name on the front of my perfecto like Brando in the Wild One, but I got over it. Now I want a Main Force Patrol "Maintain Right" badge for it.

I like the jacket and bike from HD & MM and I even liked the first 5 minutes of the movie, but I wouldn't wear/ride one of the copies (saw a copy of the bike for sale on Ebay a while back). Just too specific. It's almost as bad as wearing the SoA colors.

I buy American made leather for under $200 all the time. Just got in my $50 Fox Creek chaps the other day, to go with my $250 brand new Schoot Perfecto. I have other Schott jackets I got for as little as $30 - brand new with tags for as little as $75. You just have to know how to find them.
