Chick Leathers

Postby blackninjazx6 » Thu May 15, 2008 9:28 pm

All,
Need to buy the misus some gear as a pillion passenger. Went through the usual mob- draggin, alpine stars and the like. Don't seem to stand out. Appreciate the quality and safety of these, but i am not taking her on the track.

Looking for some stylish gear for her- i know of the "hornee" stuff but not sure what else is around. Suggestions???
What if, at this very moment, i am living to my full potential

Tiger Angel do women's gear, might be costly though, whereabouts in the world you living, you could try Torrini in Port Melbourne, maybe Matador in Moorabbin or Ebay even.

Have always found Joe Rocket and Ixon gear fitted well.

maybe i'll come across as being a bit blunt here but...

what do you mean, "dont seem to stand out"?

better cow skin than human skin. i dont put a price on human skin because it cant be valued or replaced, but leathers can. i'd still advocate getting full leathers or as much leather as possible and she'll thank you for it (hopefully she'll never need to but you know what im saying)

dont go cheap when it comes to dressing your missus for pillion work regardless of whether you take her to the track or not.

More bikers die on the road each year than racers do in a decade. Wrap her in the safest gear there is and pray she never needs to test it. 2c
