    Documented cases of shrinkage

    I reckon my dick has got smaller the older I get as well. Must be related to the leather cases you guys are experiencing. But then again I can still fit into my first bike jacket (circa 1986) and zip the bloody thing up as well!

    Is it the wet or they way they are hung up?

    If others who are having the same problem with their leathers getting smaller could maybe help explain why?
    I have the opposite problem, I'm shrinking and all my gear is getting bigger

    I want to get breast implants to fill out the vacuous space in the front of my jackets.

    Just stick on a coupla grapefruit halves with sellotape. You'll be right! Probably look and feel the same, too . . .

    Mine haven't shrunk but they are really baggy in the crotch and both the elbow and knee joints have become very rigid. Also, like my wetsuit, the zipper is really hard to do up from the back.

    I think I've had that problem too. It's hard to take a piss as well, right?
    Don't worry about it, that affliction is completely reversible.

    I went on the nine month weight gain plan, and now my leathers don't fit me either. So I sold my bike and now I don't have to try to fit into my gear.

    Yes, I have a similar problem. BBQs seem to it make it worse. It could be some special chemical in the 31st sausage or the even the burger buns. It could even be the dessert cakes.

    An amazing phenomenon!

    It's a common, but rarely acknowledged side-effect of marriage. I'm twice the man she married, but I'm trying to get down to 1,1/2 times...

    I got a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend of mine the other day.



    We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic nights we used to enjoy together.



    I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in meeting up and rekindling a little of that 'magic`.



    “Wow!", I said, "I don't know if I could keep pace with you now! I'm a bit older and a bit balder than when you last saw me!"



    She just giggled and said she was sure I'd rise to the challenge!!!



    "Yeah" I said, "just so long as you don't mind a man with a waistline that's a few inches wider these days!"



    She laughed and told me to stop being so silly!



    She teased me saying that tubby bald men were cute!



    "Anyway, I've put on a few pounds myself!" she giggled...................



    So I told her to f#ck off and put the phone down.

    I wear mine every day. It was taylor made in '89 - Have to concede it is "about 10 years too small" but still do it up no problem.
