    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
    Running over the same old ground.
    What have you found? The same old fears.

    Exactly! Thanks Number One!

    I don't have the problem Bikern1mho has, I'm more like "Beer barrel polka"...

    My wife does, though, she's got a skinny waist and there just aren't any pants that come in enough at the top to fit her either.

    I know that there are substantailly less women on bikes than men but that should not proclude leather manufacturers from designing leathers to fit properly. I thought the whole point of wearing letaher as opposed to shorts was to keep you safe and in one piece. Why should women with hour galss figues have to spend a fortune getting custom made leathers?

    You're right, those are men's pants. You'd never fit into leathers cut like that, regardless of pie consumption - your arse would just split out the back before your waist filled out the top.

    Buy some women's leathers from Quasi when you get back.

    She has had the same problem all her adult life, really. Hard to find slacks or jeans that fit well, too.

    Mind you, she has put on a little weight in her old age and it's not quite as bad now, but she definitely has that V-shaped back and hour-glass shape still...

    Plenty of chicks around with hot figures looking hot in 'off the rack' leathers. But like you say, leathers are designed to keep you safe and offer protection. Crickey's ... they'r not to show you off, thats what a bikini's for. And for the record....I cant say Ive noticed many guys wandering around in figure hugging, crevice rubbing, bulge stubbing suits???? or have I ??? lol

    buy a belt

    Ta hun but I am sorted for the mo and will make do with slightly large leathers I have just bought and pad them out with back protection, long johns and plenty of jumpers.

    But if any ladies are looking to buy any new leathers just before Jan I could always help in getting them over to them.
