Terrible Fart Bag Suits

Up here in Canada where we spend 6 months of the year dressed for winter in Carhart bibs and a jacket, the inescapable venting of flatulence via the neck of your jacket, is known as “stove piping”.

I do recall when, back in late ‘90s, at the behest of my then-Missus, I secretly bought a GL1500 for her benefit; having tried a rental, she no longer wished to be on the back of my Concours. Honestly, I can’t blame her.
But it was several months before I let all of my riding friends in on the secret, that I’d bought a Wing at 48. Not old enough!
The following Wing, a GL18, was traded for an FJR as soon as this spouse got her third bike; the Wing was no longer needed.
On the other hand, I believe I was 36 when my first Roadcrafter was purchased. So, there’s that.

Rode in a ‘Stich from 93-99. Got back into riding in ’19, and the third purchase after the bike and helmet was a used ’Stich. Anyone who places fashion and looking cool over safety, weather protection and convenience isn’t a rider. They’re poser douchebags.

Gee, now I finally understand. Bought a 2 piece Aerostich Roadcrafter AND a K100RS in 1988 while in my 30’s. Must have been some sort of super secret government/BMW/Aerostich subliminal marketing experiment…..

The suit is still my “Go-To” and it appears that I finally meet the age criteria. K Bike is long gone, but the Roadcrafter has sat on Triumph’s, Ducati’s, BMW’s, Suzuki’s, and Yamaha’s for the past 33 years.

Andy, thanks for making such great products.

In Response to John Cagle: Terrible Fart Bag Suit could be the next patch, a successor to Road Grimed Astronaut.
