I have a Vanson jacket that fits small on me. I wear a 44. I got it used and I just don't like it. I would appreciate anyone who honestly knows someone that needs a good jacket but is in a tight money spot and that you recommend to help me out here. I don't need the jacket and I really don't need $100. I would rather just give it to some young kid that can use it but can't afford it. I will take your word for it. I have no idea how to do this so respond to this post and I will send it to whoever you all recommend. I just have the one so don't get pissed if your guy comes in second.
Probably ALL of us old bastards have some equipment that we no longer want or need but some kid could use but can't afford. I know that it is more of a pain in the butt to try to sell it for a few bucks than it is to just give it to someone who needs it. My thinking is that someone on a 1999 Katana probably needs it more than a guy on a 2016 S1000RR. Anyway, it IS after the time of year when we are encouraged to remember our humanity and consider the extent of our charity. My idea is to pick, package and ship on my dime. Figger a useless (to me) jacket, thirty bucks to ship and I'm good. Don't get me wrong here! I am NOT trying to be some sort of a NICE old fart! Cause I ain't! Hell! Neither are YOU! I got riding jackets up my wazoo and I wear two or three of them. Who needs that? They just sort of collected over the years (a LOT of years). I got pants, gloves and boots that I don't ever wear or care about anymore. You? And on top of all that I don't know any 17 - 25 year old, broke, knothead bike riders. None of my kids ride and they are old enough now that they all BETTER be able to afford a piece of used equipment!
I'm thinking that if the US Jarheads can round up toys for kids why can't the Old Bastards around here give a 19 year old on a 1995 Japanese Whatever 600 POS a pair of Draggon jeans that we can't get our fat asses into anymore. Let me know.
