Cost of Bike vs Bike Fashion

According to www.motorcycles.findthebest.com the average price of a new motorcycle is $14,533.  However most other sites answer it like this. It’s a very open question, new or used,what size,what make? 1985 Honda Magna, will set you back 1700.00 or a 2009 Harley Davidson is about $28,000.

In my research it would be fair to say that the man on the bike does take pride in riding this amazing machine. Whether he likes to admit it or not, the attention that comes along side riding a motorbike is nothing short of exhilarating. When I talk to any guy with a bike, his excitement is never contained.  He is more than willing to flex his motorbike image given the chance. I’m all for ego, having  passion for the thing you love the most. So if your going to spend the cash then take it a lot further and start investing in your motorbike wardrobe. Start thinking about  riding in style.

Vintage Leather Jackets

I am finding there are loads of  local vintage shop or thrift stores who stock motorbike leather jackets. The quality of the leather is amazing but the designs need updating. In the UK there are fabulous second hand shops stocking biker wear. Head to Spitalfields market, East London or to Portobello road at Nottinghill. The amount of biker vintage jackets are too die for. Don’t forget to look for, aged to perfection cotton t-shirts (preferably without sweat stains), belt buckles, plaid trousers or jackets with funky zip ups 1960’s style.
