Description
Item Specifics - Item Condition
Condition:

Used


This is perhaps more rare than hens teeth. It's something that very few motorcyclists will ever see much less achieve and it's near impossible to put a price on. Yes, the holy grail of motorcycling culture is up for auction.

That's right, I'm talking about an actual broken in Aerostich Roadcrafter riding suit. I'm not talking about just the leaking crotch - no, even the new suits do that so don't think you're special. I'm talking about something you can't buy that this suit will give you - Respect! If you show up to a BMW rally with a paltry 30,000 or 50,000 miles on your bike you know you're still a newbie and so does everyone else. Your newness and naivety are like an HID beacon across a crowded rally campground at 3AM. You thought owning a BMW would be enough to make you a "real" motorcyclist. Hardly. It takes years and miles that you don't have time for. It's a harsh reality but I'm here to help you.

This suit fits like an old shoe, it has well over 200,000 miles, the velcro is either missing or so worn you can't tell which side is which. The balistic patches are faded and it leaks at the crotch despite being seam sealed. It's on it's third set of zippers. It feels like home. This suit has so much street cred you could ride in on a god damn Ducati and get respect. Respect you don't deserve but now can buy.

Sure, you could buy a new suit but unless you're job is riding you could die before that damned nylon stops feeling like cardboard and you crinkle like a paper bag when you get off the bike. Who has time for that?

I'm 5'9" and I'm 150lbs. It fits perfect. You could be a little shorter than me and a little lighter than me but not any bigger in either dimension. Go ahead and treat yourself to something that, until this glorious day, you couldn't purchase with any amount of money, something that your yupppie, Bimota owning ass couldn't achieve if you owned the actual Triumph Bud Ekins used in The Great Escape. Provided you keep your mouth shut this suit will get you the respect you crave and you can't put a price on that now - or can you?
