Ahhh, the old ubiquitous greatcoat. brings back memories of a winter ride up the NSW coast back in the late sixties, we had ridden in torrential rain for about 60 miles, finally having to pull up to thaw out at one of those open on Sunday travellers pub. There were about a dozen of us standing in front of this roaring fire in a huge fireplace located in the bar trying to warm up, when the publican with a look of trepidation on his face approached, he quietly asked us if we would mind removing our greatcoats as the smell of them steaming from the heat of the fire was upsetting the patrons. Plus, he also mentioned that the small river of vile looking yellow/green water that was draining out of them as we stood there, was now making its way across the bar-room floor towards the feet of his customers, and in particular, towards a posh looking couple that had expressed a concern to him, that, having read all about bikies in the newspaper they feared it might actually be urine.
The upshot to all this was, much to his relief we said "yeah, no problems" then took the coats off and draped them over the rafters of the outside balcony, the publican was obviously so pleased because we had not burred up about it, that he then gave us all a free beer.
So, in light of the free grog, and please excuse the rather bad pun, that day they really did turn out to be great coats.
All the best with your selling of this piece of biker memorabilia and thanks for jogging the memory of good times with good mates.
