I'm still waiting to get another leather jacket. I've bought two from e-bay with the hope that one of them will be suitable. Both in fit and in quality and some thing I can be happy wearing. If I do get one I'll put the other back up for sale.
Meanwhile, I am still riding my bike, albeit only for short journeys. I wore a combat jacket the other evening because I was going out for a slightly longer ride (15 miles approx). It was just too loose and was flapping about and the sleeves rode up constantly. My denim jacket was not much better and even though it's the middle of June, the cold got through! Wearing either, I'm so aware of a feeling of vulnerability. I think I've just been wearing leathers for so long I can't get used to not having that protection. It's a bit like us who are (almost) too young to remember not wearing helmets, or seatbelts in cars. We are just too used to it.
Hopefully though, I will have a leather in the next few days. Especially as the weather looks like its getting better and I just want to get out.
