DIY ducati 80's jacket

That looks really cool, any pictures of the jacket on you?

where do you get leather spray paint? I might try that myself on my Joe Rocket leathers. I love DIY stuff. I'm cheap too! ..If it looks good who cares? We MOD our rides, why not what we RIDE with? Good job [clap]

I just bought that jacket (pic doesn't show up for me though). I agree that the logos are a bit excessive, but I'm thinking of just unstitching the DUCATI on the lower back. I looked into other black jackets with removable armor and insulation, and couldn't find anything I liked for less money. I really like it for riding and I don't look like a power ranger when I'm off the bike like my Joe Rocket Alter Ego does.


EDIT: I'm a freaking idiot. I actually have the Eagle '65 jacket (but maybe some of this still applies?)

I bought it a a dance/ballet store..my wife used to work for the Richmond Ballet and the dancers use it to paint their shoes. Today I looked into a shoe repair shop and they had at least 30 colors

that's pretty cool. that repair store wouldn't be in carytown would it?

it sure is.. as is the dance/ballet store... where are you?

that looks really cool! [clap]

i'm gonna get some of that and make a cool stencil of my tattoo for the back of my jacket!

it was easy... just do lots of nice, light coats

in the fan, couple blocks east of carytown

this seems like a good way to mod my current jacket instead of getting another one, although I want another jacket anyway. I'm gonna look around for this stuff.

come see me at 821 cafe..I'll buy you a beer

i remember a CB sitting out front of there...yours? i'll stop in for that beverage. who do i ask for?

yes. the cb got creamed by a VCU freshmam with a surburban and no parking skills. From there it was on to a sliver heavily moded sv ( which lived on the sidewalk) so when you come down park on the sidewalk, most people with bikes do anyways. Let me guess... you have the 900 with the desmo paintjob on the tank ( onll moster i see parked off cary)

thats the one...looks great. I'm Andrew, and i'll more than likely see you around
