Was occupying some time during our Stay at Home suggestion revisiting some threads and remembered I had one of those BMW blue and gray leather suits back a couple or three decades ago.[attachment=550]

The suit gloves and and helmet look familiar.
The boots have an nice, traditional wear pattern you just don't see anymore with the sliders and reinforced shift areas.
Obviously, you have had great taste - boots, gloves, suits, helmets..., and bikes.
I suspect there's a story useful to the rest of us - what's in the fanny pack?

I had the zip-together sport version of the BMW leather suit. Same colors as your "touring" suit. I bought it from a dealership in 1987 that was dropping the BMW line.
I sold it on the BMW forum marketplace to Dennis Gage, the My Classic Car TV show guy. It seems leather shrinks with age.

You walked down the trail in your leathers? I remember those days!!
I rode past there today and stopped in Wellsboro for an ice cream. It was in the high 80s heading for the low 90s. That's warm for this area.
