Christmas gifts

This pic turned out alot better than I had expected. Last Wednesday I was out at a friend's motorcycle shop with a few of my buddies. One of them snapped this shot of me, probably the best one I've seen of me in my black Original UK.

The Christmas gifts are the black leather Bomber jacket (from my lovely wife), and the nice sweater that my sister and BIL got me. That one was a real surprise, as they said they looked for something that would go well with my kilts. Surprising in the fact that they used to give me alot of grief over my kilts. I guess they're finally getting used to the idea that I'm not about to stop wearing them.

Nice outfit Al you look very relaxed 8-)

Nice look for you, Al-do you find (as I do) that it requires a bit more thought to co-ordinate tartan kilts than solids? BTW, I see you're standing by one of those 'lil pocket 50cc bikes Honda put out a year or two ago (and is that a LeadWing in the room behind you?).

Bryan...I ride a Blackbird, and the Missus scoots around on a Ducati 900SS...

Al,

What a great shot! Glad that the family is accepting the kilt wearing and are combininng it with your other addiction.

A good look. The bomber jackets are becoming essential for casual kilting.

My wife was looking for something to get me that would work well with my kilts. After seeing Hamish (it's all his fault

) wearing his Bomber jackets I knew exactly what to ask her for.

I don't have much difficulty putting together my clothes when wearing either solid or tartan kilts. Sometimes I just grab whatever is handy, sometimes I put a little more thought into it. Most of the time I'm just terribly casual. I used to wear nothing but t-shirts and blue jeans, now I tend to do similar things but with kilts.

Bryan...you have a very good eye! That is indeed a 1500 Goldwing (Leadwing, Wingebago, 2-wheeled car, hehehehehe) in the background. It sounds like you and your wife have a couple of nice rides yourself.
