Hmmm this problem has never cropped up with me!

The things you learn in KB!

I look forward to the ride reports. As if your reports weren't colourful enough without added ribbons & lace.

BAMM!

But they come in handy. (Not a pun, dammit). Great for wiping up oil spills (so absorbent!), chain cleaning, bandaging cuts...
Thanks Honda

When I first got the bamboo towels I doubted the claims. The thought of bamboo against my skin just didn't seem right! But WOW they are GORGEOUS.

As I can afford it I'm going to change all my bed linen to bamboo. Egyptian cotton is so yesterday.

hell....why stop there....lets bamboo everything!!!

Thanks for the tip. I called Motomail and spoke to a dis-interested female who basically said "nope we wouldn't have that" without checking.
I could still go there, and if the bit fits on either side I could just sew it onto the other side. Failing that I'll try the suggestion above.
Now, what other posts can I reply to...

Speak to Peter....he's awesome. He's the one who sorted me out and is totally awesome. I've been told the chick who works there would 'prefer to be somewhere else'

I totally got that impression. I wonder if she's even a biker...

Got myself a pair of draggin jeans....wore a thong the 1st time....felt like I had no skin on my butt after a few hours riding...

Butt skin is sensitive, and draggin jeans not soft AT ALL

I've learnt my lesson

Are you trying to tell us that Ambos cut your gear off so they can take pics of your privates and catch a perve? Cos me thinks if your in a position where an Ambo feels he/she needs to cut your gear off then you've got more to worry about than what knickers you wore that day...

..they have a padded crotch which helps remove the perspiration. This was originally a padded natural chamois, which had to be washed in water only, or "lux" soap (no detergent) and dried away from the sunlight (or it goes hard like sandpaper) Modern pants have synthetic fabric which is far easier to care for, works better and is softer to the skin. The padding is usually pretty thin.

The more expensive shorts are constructed from 6 or 8 panels of lycra, and are designed/cut to natrually be in the sitting position, so the fabric is not under tension whe you are sitting down, and are cut to be higher at the back...so your kidneys do not get chilled, or you do not get a sunburn stripe across your back.

No no no, the ambos were lovely, however you know how people are, come over to have a look, "oh look, she's sitting up, lets take some pics". They didn't get a chance to cut my pants off me as luckily my hubby was being watchdog and wouldn't let them!!

And believe me, I felt ok enough to give everyone a bit of cheek, but they still wanted to cut my pants off me!
