If you really want to look like a "bike" rider, check out the English "Barbour" suit; it is a jacket and pants combo. I have one for riding motorcycle trials riding. It is made for riding in the rain, etc., as it is made from cotton and waterproof. I just wear the jacket in my road riding in all weather. Check 'em out; they should be on the Web. BMF

Yes, the Barbour looks like a "true" motorcycle jacket. Unfortunately, it doesn't look quite right for Vintage boardtrack replicas. And unfortunately, it is expensive. :D

Love that movie!

One of the first to actually have Tiger look alike tanks and not just modern tanks with German markings.

Sorry, back to bikes now.

I have this film. Love it. I thought the Tigers were real. If they are replicas, what did they do, re-clad a modern tank? It looked real to me. They did a good job.

From the Kelly’s heroes Wiki page...

“The three Tiger I Tanks used in the film were actually ex-Soviet Army T-34 tanks, converted in great detail by specialists of the Yugoslav army for the 1969 movie The Battle of Neretva.”

They did something similar for “Saving Private Ryan”

I wanna to build a WW II German tank. "-)
