    Biker friend needs 9XL jacket...any suggestions

    Hi

    A friend of mine who is just getting back into biking needs to get a jacket. Leather or armoured will be considered.

    Do you know of anywhere in Auckland that would stock big sizes?

    If all else fails I think he will get have to get something made.

    All suggestions appreciated

    Cheers
    Kim

    I suggest just sizing up a likely looking cow - if he skins it right he could have a one piece suit without any tailoring at all

    EDIT: sorry, I feel like a bastard now, but I couldnt resist

    9XL? Makes me feel positively sylph-like...

    I feel for him = I was into the 5X range before I did something about it.

    So thats XXXXXXXXXL. good lord, I don't mean to be insensitive, but what sort of bike does he have and how good is the suspension, and for that matter how big is the seat.
    I hate myself for saying this, but wouldn't a motorbike without an engine be better for him at this stage.

    Cool

    Maybe this gentleman has a medical reason as to why he is, his size.

    So lets be helpful and help him out and help suggest a place that he can buy a jacket from.

    What is important is that he loves to ride m/bikes.

    Well I don't think he's planning on getting a 250. He'll rent to get through the licencing stuff and then get a brand new something. He has his eyes on three different types but I can't remember them.
