Total chick question...

[Tashad]

What gear would you recommend for girls that actually looks good? I would prefer not to look like the michelin man (ref the photo courtesy of my father in Biker angels...) and in fairness - it is his dri-rider, so a tad big. But also am not wanting to comprise safety.

I have seen some nice leather gear on 1tonne, but am leaning towards their Cordura jacket. I know Dragin bring some stuff out too...

(And... waiting for the male oriented comments....... )

I would have thought that would be a reasonable excuse to tour the Bike shops ... and those other outlets that sell such items, and see what looks good on you.

As per KB rules ... pic's or it didn't happen ...

how can we tell what you will look good in if we dont know what you look like.
Are you short, tall, etc,etc
Different body shapes look different in different gear,
something that looks hot on one chick can make another look terribile.
Lots of things to concider there Tashad

I got Qmoto ladies leather paints, lots of nice armour, great fit, and look good too.

Dainese leather jacket with armour, etc Excellant jacket -

I would highly recommend both above brands.

Leather is far better then cordura etc - IMHO.

+1 Yes she does look good.....

Bet it's a bit of a bugger to get those paints off tho

[Tashad]

@subike - there are pics on my profile but as i mentioned not the best..... don't say you weren't warned.

@Quasi - thanks. haven't heard of those brands... avaiable most bike shops?

@hawkeye - yeah, leather is a real pain in the arse....almost as bad as skinny jeans. You just can't take those things off elegantly!

@subike - there are pics on my profile but as i mentioned not the best..... don't say you weren't warned.!

Have you got your profile set to friends only view?
All I can see is your bike,

When I went to buy my gear, this lovely (and very very rotund salesman) told me to stop looking at size labels and what I looked like.

Your stuff should fit you well (hard for me as I'm not tall enough for my roundness).

A jacket that rides up when your sitting on your bike, will ride up when your slidding along the ground.

Pants that dig in around the middle are bloody uncomfortable, but if too big the protectors are not in the right place.

Be prepared to try on HEAPS. A hot exercise in warm weather, but don't compromise.

If you're not a standard shape and can afford it get some stuff made.

p.s. LOVE THE BIKE
