Bloody bike shops

[cherryB]

Went out this morning with the intention of buying meself a new winter textile jacket and windstopper.

Went to 2 bike shops locally and both had only very few choices in the ladies section. Why dont these prats realise there are more of us women riders these days!!!!! AND WE DONT ALL RIDE ****TY SCOOTERS AND WANT BETTY FECKIN BOOP ALL OVER US :eek:

Open your feckin eyes and smell the coffee - WOMEN SPEND MONEY YOU TWATS :eek:

And WE ARE SHAPED DIFFERENT TO MEN - got it ????????? Mens jackets are useless to us.

I dont want a fucking PINK FECKIN CONCOCTION WITH SPARKING DIAMANTE ****E ON IT..... You understand.

I want a proper, all black, womanLY shaped, PROPER textile jacket to keep me warm, with darts in the right place so it fits me like it should.

Came home, without making a purchase, put trumpet away, got Harley out and went for blast - ahhhhhhhhhhh felt better for that.

Trumpets nice but my Harley is the one I turn to when I need to chill out. Does IT for me every time.

Rant over - sorry folks, needed to let off steam :D

That's ok CB...we understand how you women like to do certain things...and now as an added bonus you've got ....




Two bikes to clean and polish...



Deep down inside you must have known that HOG meeting where they showed you how to polish a bike would come in handy.. :D John

He does. He has a urban camouflaged coloured jacket & trousers for sale for around £60. If your interested, I can find out if he still has them.

I wish people wouldnt be so rude about someone who had lost a great deal of weight. Its not to be ridiculed but to be praised. Takes a lot of will power and this guy has been through agony with it. So I am proud of him. Thank you very much. There's a lot of anguish that can go hand in hand with weight problems and it's cruel to make fun of it and you can cause a lot of damage in doing so. Think before you type please. :)

Got some trousers for the missus just before xmas for £40 good quality had loads of jackets as well not sure of the price or the sizes but they had loads :)

[dracken1]

i don't and i doubt i ever will stock clothing.
it takes up so much space and no matter how much you got, people still winge when you don't have what they want :)

i do gloves and boots buts thats it.

[Urban Terrorist]

But really, although there are more women riding these days, you still just a tiny fraction to the men!! I don't ride with any women, and i know a few that do, but not many, most women on the scene just ride bitch, where they belong!!!:D :D

[Shifty]

Cherry, if it's any help to you, Mrs Shifty (who is most definitely proper-woman-shaped) has a textile jacket from Frank Thomas' Lady Rider range.

It's plain black, no sparkly shít or anything, and (in Mrs Shifty's words) "it's lovely, you can fit your tits in and everything!".

[minxy]

There's loads of clothing specifically designed for the laydeeeez now. Just maybe not at your local Harley dealer ;)

Cant say I bother too much - lace up leathers and a short textile jacket's as waterproof and protected as I've ever been. (Dont forget the paras!)

We might be a tiny fraction, but we are more powerful and have far more important bits to cover up and keep warm :D :D

Has it got enough space in for when its cold and ya get nipples like chaple hat pegs :D :D

Lace up leathers :eek: oooo far too fancy for me - I just wear combat type things with three pairs thermal leggings underneath. :D

[Maggie B]

I wear mens stuff
Womens jackets tend to be too short in the sleeves to reach the handlebars without riding up.

they also seem to be mainly bumfreezers.

its getting better though

I bought a nice frank thomas jacket at Kelso show for £40. Mens small

[Bosun]

Just asked the honourable lady, and yes, it's fine for when the weather's a bit "nipply". Loads of growing space and bags of adjustment. She says though that she rarely gets nipply in it cos it's so fraggin' warm.

Not sure about the name of it. I'll have a look online but failing that we could maybe meet up with you someplace and you can have a gander.

[Urban Terrorist]

No, we let you think your more powerful, and i find MY parts are more important than any womans!!!:p

And anyway, nipples like the cold!!:D

[rob]

we are more powerful

delusions of grandeur, or chip on shoulder?? :p :p

whats wrong with a woman wearing womans biking apparell??
it's pink and cute coz it was designed for females.
the wellard black stuff IS FOR BLOKES.

I agree...I wear mens stuff too...Although I have worn sheepskin...after it's been taken off the sheep... :D John

[Shifty]

Can't find the exact one on Frank Thomas website, so maybe it's discontinued or summat. I've taken some pics so I'll try and get them posted here if I can work out how. The main features according to the Mrs are adjuster zips on the hips and a belt, and that Frank Thomas are very generous bust-wise (OK so that's gonna draw some interesting comments :D )

Anyroadup, I'll try and work out how to post the pics.

That would be great if you can send some pics Shifty - thanks.

Good to know they are generous on bust :rolleyes: cos that where I need it :rolleyes:

Right then, let's see if this works (f'kin new-fangly uploadin' pictures shít :D )

Wotcha.

Ooh - I know Bills Street. There's a large fishing tackle place there - never noticed a biker type shop. Saying that, I ain't been over there for about three or four years now :o
Must have a look next time I'm passing ( which is about five times a week ).

[Mortis]

When it comes to protective, waterproof clothing, you can't beat Hein Gericke! Expensive but bloody good stuff. In fact, after a quick look on their site, I found this jacket

http://www.hein-gericke.com/uk/product_info.php/cPath/1_15_114/products_id/3073

£100 for a waterproof jacket isn't too bad. I'm sure if you look further, you'll find a few more.

[dracken1]

the main pob with bike jackets/trousers. is that the size on the label has fuck all to do with the size of the item.

i'm a 44 chest but could'nt get into one brand in a 48

ended up with a frank thomas 42 :confused:

you really need to try them on and not buy online.

that reminds me i have a brand new frank thomas jacket for sale...
were the hell is it?

[booie2]

The Frank Thomas Sofia Jacket, its aquapore waterproof, has white piping detail, and a tribal design on front, armour on shoulder and elbows, but i'm large up top, and small in the middle, with madonna cones in winter, and it fits a treat, it is definately woman looking, but not pink and not overly girly.

The leather i got, is also FT, and that is a leiah, the piping is black, but reflective at night. Its elasticated at side/hip, and has a really warm removable body warmer.

[booie2]

Derrrrrrrrrrrr, sorry, lost the plot completely, that'll be the chocolate liquers, your looking for Textile, not leather or waterproof. lol. :D
Easily confused, I saw Shifty's pretty daughter in her jacket, and it is similar to my waterproof. :D

She's purdy


but the jacket isn't for me-it looks as though its up too far in the neck & woudl irritate me.

My current jacket is a Shoei-grey, mens fit, super soft textile, has withstood 2 scottish monsoon holidays :D

unfortunately Shoei don't actually do motorcycle clothing(apart from t-shirts) anymore
here it is
http://picasaweb.google.com/Arramattic/ScotlandSeptember2007/photo#5109779544188285586

actually that looks a bit up by the neck, but it isn't its been the best jacket I ever had. shame its grey with SHOEI on the back

[Oozee]

Cherry, that's not very nice. Bikers have to wear heavy clothes which make them sweat a bit but there's no need to say they smell. :p

crock of ****e Rob. Pink gets filthy - how ya supposed to clean it. Pink looks like it belongs on a scooter with pink barbie type helmet. pink and diamante is'nt what I go for. Its a matter of taste and practicality - not trying to look hard.

There should have been a "put your sunglasses on" warning when posting pics if the pink jackets

[Bassman]

Maybe you had better post a couple of dozen pics, so we know what you need... :cool:

Now then, I'm not sure how old you think I am, or how young you think Mrs Shifty is, but suffice to say she's very flattered and I've had my credentials as a dirty old man reinforced :D

Lucky old bugger ain't I? :D :D

No probs, good luck with the shopping, hope you find something you like.

We're in North Derbyshire, so central to pretty much anywhere.

We were thinking of going for a ride New Year's day anyway, so if you want to hook up that'd be cool. Drop me a PM if you like and we'll sort summat out.

Babe, dont tell anyone, but I had 2 glasses of alcoholice beverage (5.4%) between 9.00 and 10.30 and staggered to the lav. :D I'm not much of a drinker so by the time I went to bed, I had 'sobered' up again :D :D

Shameful I know hun, but there you are, I've admitted it - one thing I shall never need is alcoholics anonymous :rolleyes:

So i am not intitled to an opinion then.

[Shifty]

Maybe a slightly more diplomatic expression of that opinion would have been expected.

[cherryB]

So i am not intitled to an opinion then.


You dont give constructive opinion though do you? I've read through your posts and it seems you just come on here to snarl at people. If you dont like the threads that have been started, then dont read them or dont contribute to them - its your choice. Or, better still, you could bring some of your obvious intellect into the forum and start some threads of your own and then we can all have our opinion on whether or not we feel that they are pertinent, or just inane twaddle.
