Quiz today – Guess who ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obviously back in the 1950’s when we began riding Motorcycles – the first thing you bought (after the bike) was rain gear – But a funny story, because when my good buddy and myself bought our first bikes the best priced rain gear was at the local Army and Navy discount store -We bought one piece rubber ‘ex submarine” suits – with money tight a good deal – Yes they kept the water out – but you soon began to sweat so bad it was like sitting in a sauna – The most popular gear was the famous Barbour suits. – All the Trials riders had them, being of waxed cotton, they kept you reasonably dry – plus of course we would have a small white towel around our neck to soak up the rain.!!
