Twat Suit Zips
Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2022 12:21 pm
I’ve just had to climb out of my jacket again as bloody zip has jammed.
This has happened three times lately. I’ll work it loose after a lot of swearing but the jacket is only six years old and both my inside pockets are failing now too. They don’t jam, they just open both sides of the pull thing. The main zip just jams a few inches from the bottom.
This is not a cheap jacket; it’s a BMW Rallye and I’m a slim bloke who doesn’t mistreat his kit.
Aha! some of you will be saying. Serves you right for buying an overpriced, wanky Panzer twat suit, and there is some merit in that argument, but I was riding in a hot country when my last jacket gave out so I looked in the first bike place I saw (which was a BMW dealership) at their jackets. They offered a big discount, I bit.
So, is this six years normal? I’ve been riding for eons but this was my first expensive jacket.
I can’t take it back as the dealer is thousands of miles away.
Any suggestions? Rude ones as well; I could do with a laugh.
