Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

G'day everyone,
I was looking for some nice red/black leather jackets preferably Alpinestars although brand not overly important, in a 64 seeing as I'm a bit on the "rounder" side of things LOL, but jesus do ya think I can find anything, is this like some cruel way of say fat dudes shouldn't ride?? LOL

You're a bit ambitious wanting an Alpinestar to fit a full size person. They only make them for skinny bastards. Try Berik, as their sizing is generally more generous.

i think alpinestars only go to 60 but dont quote me on that,i just bought a rst in a 62 from sydney city motorcycles,i dont race or live on a bike so i didnt need anything to exspensive or flash but they did sell fat man jackets. i tried ebay aswell with no luck.good luck

I had to hire an RST suit at Eastern Creek for the 2010 Xmas track day......I think it was a 64 ? I know it was right up the end of the rack... but it did fit pretty well

this is what they look like on a phat phuck

I can ride my cb250 ,cb125 my historic regod bikes on certain days and places and can ride my kle 500 no worries but the one i really want to ride is the zrx,oh and the turbo if i ever get it going but i still sneak the zrx out ocasionally but make sure i do everything right shhhh

I might try Berik, anyone tried RJays from MCAS they go to a big size for the portly gentleman....

i have used this mob for both my jacket and my touring trousers; and im another of the 'fuller figure' gentlemen, at not completely ridiculous prices

Mate I think Warilla is now on the cards, as they have moved it back 1 week so as not to clash with the big 40th Anniversary Z9 rally down in Victoria.......so I will be doing my level best to get to the VJMC rally as well. Probably head down there on the GPz1100 on Saturday morning as per last year, and hook up with the crew at the Robertson Pie Shop for the ride back to the rally site. Would be good to catch up

WOOFUCKINHOO !!!! At last some real measurements for real blokes !!

interestingly, this place was started by the owner/techie/ etc of the first (and as far as i know, only) australian top shelf gp team
and i grew up 4 doors from him in qld! always remembered him as the short/skinny bloke who rode weird bikes up to the pub! he has since died and the shop is run by his son, who is no muppet on 2 wheels either.

Mate, you be careful posting shit like this in here . There are people who would rope you into the same category as a Goose for riding a bike unlicensed!! Not me, I think it should be encouraged!! Far better to seek forgiveness than ask permission!!!

Have red p's for another 8months and then full licence so not totaly illegal,just ocasionally i slip down the back road on the zxr which as you know is not lams just for a couple of kays and back just to stop the redbacks nesting .

Mate years ago Mars Leathers on Elizabeth St in Melbourne use to sponsor me. I went in there late last year looking for a jacket and found out that I must ride a Harley or something to look cool. Nah #uck that. Found a nice jacket back at my old mates bike shop in Albury. There ya go for bigger guys.
