Bro your joking right ? Though I was the only idiot to do that . Was making a banzi run home 1174 miles door to door in one shot ,around 2am in the middle of Ohio between dropping temp and ground fog my knees were banging the tank I was shaking so bad . Hit a truck stop and dove in that tire pile got some really weird looks but it worked well .

 

In all honesty, never thought of that..... but I have emptied out newspaper box and stuffed the paper into my jacket and pants to keep warm.
If sunday paper good enough for homeless, its good enough for me.

 

Nope, I might look like a lady killer for my age, but I've been around a block or two

THAT, is one I've never thought of...... I'm slipping

 

I learned that trick on the ride from from Boston back to NYC.

 

Played that one when my last leather got ripped off in bar 30 miles from home one night , summer temps here the bay area are in the low 50's and the sea fog that rolls thru is rough .

 

I had not been following this thread for a few days ... so, now I am up-to-date ... I guess the latest development is that you are a poser if you don't wear rubber chaps made out of truck tire innertubes and newspaper ... LoL ...

 

No not at all , it's called dealing with it with what you have available and not calling AAA or waiting for the dealer to open so you can buy poser approved gear .

Funny thing is I didn't give chaps a second thought till the inner tube run that night got a pair at the next swapmeet , I still have and wear those same chaps 25+ years later .

 

Hmmm just imagine a jacket made out of truck tire tread......i think i might be on to something here.

 

You sure some dune bunny in Somalia hasn't done that yet ?

 

Lmao thats just for shoes and signal fires.
