Title: vintage riding gear
Post by: aeronca on December 07, 2010, 12:29:36 AM

im getting ready to start a board track racer replica using an old bicycle and a 2 stroke engine. so as im cruising through the bike forum i came across this thread http://motorbicycling.com/f38/vintage-b ... 11507.html (http://motorbicycling.com/f38/vintage-board-track-harley-indian-clothing-11507.html) i find it kind of neat to see some of this old motorcycle gear, so here's the question to all of you, is there a place that has vintage replica/real "britt" ridding gear??? 8)

You mean for a bike like this!

Just got this registered last week, now I have to wait for the ice to disappear and a number plate to turn up!
