To some degree, what motorcyclist wouldn’t want to emulate the great Mike
Hailwood, acclaimed by many as the best motorcycle racer of all time?
Commemorating an extraordinary career that included nine World Championships in
the 1960s—the first at age 21—and a comeback in 1978, Vanson Leathers is
creating limited-edition Hailwood jackets, hand-made from competition quality
leather with period-correct styling and authentic embroidered patches. The
jacket is available in two styles and will be produced in limited numbers.
Only 500 each of the MH-01 (‘60s era) and MH-02 (1978) jackets will be
custom-made with the owners name and the production number embroidered into the
lining. A leather patch over the zippered breast pocket features Hailwood’s
embossed signature. The purchase price includes a letter of authenticity from
Pauline Hailwood and a limited-edition poster of “Mike The Bike” on the 250
Honda or F1 Ducati. (Click images to enlarge)
Dunlop Motorcycle Tires will offer a series of high-quality, collector’s edition Legends posters, with the net proceeds benefiting injured riders through the Clayton Memorial Foundation. ::MORE::
