Title: making my own Guzzi apparel
Post by: V7Record on September 07, 2017, 04:36:43 PM
Got some new coveralls and decided to customize with some red & white spray paint.
Made a stencil and cut it out with an exacto knife.
There's a little over spray but I can live with it.

I've been thinking of doing the same, but using a silkscreen kit.  Guzzi gear for the ladies is almost nonexistent, or way over priced (due to the Fairer Sex Tax).  Plus, being a tinkerer, I customize most things.

You're supposed to get the money for the FST from your husband, and he's supposed to pay it without question, and without limit.   Or maybe I've been doing it wrong ... ?

Cool!  Is that a special paint that will hold up in the wash?

I have a brown leather moto guzzi jacket that I got on clearance from some dealer in California.  Not much in the way of protection, but it looks good with the café classic. 

I will sew patches onto denim shirts and jackets and such to show my fondness for different brands of bikes.  I really need to just find a patch for every manufacturer and model of motorcycle made and sew them all on one jacket so that I will always be representing regardless of what I am riding.

For now, I wear Triumph while riding my Harley, and Harley while riding my Kawasaki, and...  I love to confuse people.

Wash?  My wife would kill me if I put greasy coveralls in her washing machine.

So, you don't clean them?  Or do you soak them in Simple Green and spray them with the garden hose?  I don't get grease on my clothes so I am not familiar with the process.

I stay away from cars.  I wear nitrile gloves and peel them off if they get messy.  I also go through a few of those blue shop paper towels.  Just not sure how you get greasy working on a motorcycle.

Taking off a rear wheel?

Removing an exhaust system?

Replacing a chain and sprockets?

Removing an engine?

I don't see how you'd AVOID it ... ?

That explains why all those lingerie banner ads kept showing up when I was on the Triumph forum!  LOL!

I guess I keep my bikes and my work area clean.  I was always taught to clean the bike before working on it so that you don't contaminate anything.  I was also taught to keep my hands away from everything when the nitrile gloves are dirty.  Take them off before you scratch your butt.
