Here another deal.

Yeah, it's hard for me to find leathers that fit me too. I was really excited when I got RGs old pants (because they actually fit me). 30 inch waist or less, tall, skinny. I know how you feel, onlypastrana. I think I might have it a bit better though, as I can fit in to size Small stuff usually

Just don't buy these:

I got them for $40 bucks and they really suck!!!  You get what you pay for I guess.  I got them before finding this forum and could kick myself for it.

you know pastrami,  give me a couple weeks of working with you, and in about 9 months you'll be up to about a 34 inch waist.  :mrgreen:

Weeks!?!  Stop standing in front of the radar.   :mrgreen:

Gawd, I go away from the board for a while, come back to PURE SMUT!


































































































































Nice improvement from all the newbs asking what flushmounts will fit on their '04s though...

Quote from: Onlypastrana199*growls at the fact that everything is always gonna be too big* I'm stuck being a skinny shaZam! with crappy leathers forever cause they're the only thing that fits....damn 24inch waist  :x

nothing wrong with a 24 inch waist - i have one!

had to get a custom pair of leather pants but i found an off the rack jacket that fit, go figure  

here's a pic of me in my leathers on my first bike - suzuki marauder 250:

What's up with men's Big & Tall shops.  I get told, 'Oh, since you're so tall, you can go to one of those shops.'  Riiiiight. I need Big OR Tall, not Big AND Tall!

And all the good stuff is made for people with stubby arms and legs.  Nothing for me!  Even worse with cycle gear.  All of 1 or 2 choices, and they are mostly crap!

And I plan on dropping another 10 pounds or so to get to a 31-32 waist...   just making myself more problems by getting in shape!  I'm gonna need my riding jackets taken in, they were at their 'thin' adjustment limits before...

Here's to being skinny...  Better than worrying about stuff being too tight around the waist  :lol:

I have a 30 inch waist so i have enough trouble finding things my size.  Often i'm referred to either children or womens products which would be ok if i liked the occasional pink leathers.  Recently i was looking for a streamliner vest for my vanson jacket.  They did not have one small enough for me and told me they probably wouldn't be getting any either.  I went on ebay and found a woman in jersey selling a "womans" streamliner in a small selling it for less than half the price (brand new).  i went to vansons site to look at the womens streamliner vest and guess what...? linked me to the mens vest.  Long story short...got it on ebay...fits perfect.

This begs the question:  should i occasionally look in the womens section for bike attire..??  Well only if disguised.  Like in a dress maybe.  "course i'd have to shave....

Actually, I've found that it's not uncommon for some items to be unisex. You're the only one that would know for whom the gear was made.

As long as you stay away from the pink stuff.  

OMFG!  Correct use of "whom!"

Think of it as macho peach.

Quote from: RoadstergalOMFG!  Correct use of "whom!"  

I'm into grammar.  :mrgreen:

you guys (and gals) are too much..!!  

Just make sure you get rid of the tag with the size on it.  That's a dead giveaway  :lol:

hehe  Yeah, they don't make gear for me either.  *shrugs*  

Oh well, good excuse for custom leathers.  That, and I've never found off-the-rack leather in lime-green and neon-yellow.   :mrgreen:

And there's a reason for that...

Yep.

Why have just one favorite color when you can have two?  Only people with closed minds limit themselves to a single color like  PURPLE.  :nana:  :lol:
