Man, THAT was a lifetime ago. His lambskin was 'summer weight', and his pre-distressed cowhide his winter weight. That was it.

Keep safe and be careful, tekors... It seems from the news tonight that things just might get ugly after the disappointment of Mubarak's TV speech...

Looks like the president of Egypt has just quit.

Yes,

I was walking after leaving the Bureau... and then they announced his resignation. Then, a group of youth, guys and girls, i n several car saw me... and offered me a ride...and we got caught in the heavy traffic with celebration and joy... Egyptian flags everywhere.

So, that became my story... the youth right there in the car....

The city is like a World Cup celebration. Amazing!!!

Holy smokes, tektors, I just saw this. I am so glad you are safe. That's too bad about the jacket, but as it was mentioned earlier, better the jacket than you! It makes a very unique memento of these recent events, though. Take care!

Hey guys,

Just to tell you I got back form Cairo yesterday in one piece and had the pleasure to witness a historical moment of a revolution.

Some minutes ago I was with Peter over the phone and we settled the payment for my new Wested Raiders in soft goatskin. Since I asked for some specs, I paid a bit more.

So, now "I am holding on to my potatoes" and waiting for a few days to have my new jacket.

$\:D/$
oki doki!!! Can't wait to have it!!!

regards

Glad you're back and safe & sound, teko!
(Also a little jealous that you had that amazing "front row seat" to such an historic moment!)

Can't wait to see your new leather!

You have 1 #### of a story now.

Incidentally, this speaks to the wide and varied diversity in backgrounds found on this forum. Its like, wearing the jacket in public is one of those badges that are either known or not, if one knows what to look for. One never knows where we might be lurking.....

tekors,

I'm just now catching up on some of these threads, but...WOW, what a real life adventure!

Now, that's what I'm talking about! ....the extremes that some guys will go to for a more screen accurate leather jacket....

You even managed to get shot on the left arm.

...just kidding, tekors! Glad to know that you made it out and back again safe and sound. Is there still unrest over there?

Here's to your courage in the line of duty.

tekors · Post by **tekors** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:27 pm

Hey Texan,

Well, I am an advocate of natural distressing (ok, not all natural, shower and sandpaper in small key areas) but that was too much oa natural way of distress the jacket...

Next time I will get under a truck to be dragged ...

Yes, things in egypt are back to normal. No it's Libya the mess.
No new adventures for me for a while, until... uh... next week

But it feels as if the situation could deteriorate in Egypt in a wink. Hopefully not though.

tekors · Post by **tekors** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 6:37 pm

Yeah, coming from the Mideast, anything can happen...

Guys, let's suppose Peter shipped my jacket thru DHL on friday. Do you know how long does it take to arrive?
Any of you got a jacket from him lately?

I am trying to have patience..

Texan Scott · Post by **Texan Scott** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 6:38 pm

In light of current events, maybe you should borrow the plymouth for awhile, no?

Yeah but does the Plymouth have A/C?

Forget a Nuclear Blast he's in Egypt, I'd want A/C.

Post by **Michaelson** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 6:47 pm

Nope. I guess that means you walk, TS.

Post by **Tennessee Smith** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:10 pm

Well, on second thought it does have the 4/40 A/C to consider. I mean it worked on my '67 Mustang.

tekors · Post by **tekors** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:15 pm

Or get a horse...
not camels..

Unless they are for his cousin, that's the only exception.

Actually, it has 4 wing vents and a hood vent too, so it would be a 9/40/A/C.

...on the other hand, maybe there are overly critical of Westeds in Egypt...?

tekors · Post by **tekors** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 10:57 am

Guys,

I finally got my new Wested in goatskin.
