A proper one. That requires mandatory biker leathers. With hard bits on the outside of the knees. I know some of you lot do. I just can't recall who.
If so, I may have a brand new pair of trousers up for grabs (don't ask. Really. Just don't) for a nominal cost.
Porky lardies need not apply. They fit someone svelte and sexy. Like me! Go me!
More details available on request. Serious request. Not just any old request that's intended to make me look bad.
Pictures are negotiable. As always.

The clue's in the name ;-)
Being incredibly sleek (well, I was until December) my leathers are now too big - so if we're talking in the 30-32" waist range then I might be interested.

I almost spat on my screen when I read that Greg hasn't been that slim since the 60sRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

iv got a motorbike
but also have short legs
what size are they?0 -
They're a Belstaff XL. They fit me really well (assuming you're not supposed to wear jeans under them) except that they are pretty much shorter than half mast on me. I have no idea whether biker leathers are supposed to be like that though.
Probably easiest if I measure myself and PM those measurements with a pic of how short they come up.
There will now be a short intermission...0 -
Pity i do not ride a motorbike they would fit
And to really piss people off in my twenties when i was fit i was down to a 28 " :P

I have really enjoyed some of you comments on the forum over the year, but please NEVER send me a pic of you in leather old chap!
Happy new year0 -
Greg, why do you have bike leathers?
I could make an age-related joke here, but, y'know, season of goodwill.0 -

Well I'm 34" waist, 32" leg if that helps. And as befits a man of 'un certain age' as they say in France, ride a BMW F650 chuffs idly on pipe, puts comfy slippers on.Litespeed Tuscany, Hope/Open Pro, Ultegra, pulling an Extrawheel trailer, often as not.

I used to, but like others I found the possible death thing a bit off putting.
I had a 125 for a few years (have a full license however) by my ex being a bit of a prat decided that women shouldn't ride motorbikes and told me to get rid of it (I didn't, my dad uses it now) I just haven't got back onto the bike since.Officers don't run, it's undignified and panics the men0
