Had a right result from a friend of mine. He sold me his old Aplinestars leathers that originally cost him £1200. Not gonna say how much coz I might sell them on ebay at the end of the year :smt003

He only wore them 3 times coz the third time he fell off in them. Luckily he was going round a roundabout doing about 20mph, or so he says. They have some little scratches on them that you can hardly see. The scratches are on the side facing the camera in the photo and you can't even tell. The leather has no marks on it what so ever. I reckon he dropped it in the garage :smt003 The bike he dropped was an Aprilla Mille RSV :smt013

My bike went in for it's service yesterday and will be out next week with 2 new tyres, new brakes etc. Should be fun!!! So now I got the new leathers, new helmet, new boots and a newly serviced bike, roll on summer 2007.

You could just do with painting your bike to match your leathers now :smt001

Not for me they don't. I'm 5'3", got size 5 feet and calf muscles like Linford Christie. When I put the boots over the leathers they will not do up at all. Always had the same problem.....I think they call it SHORT AND FAT.....I always like to call it stocky :smt003

just get fatter... i can reccommend that you start off by eating deadly sandwiches: 2 bagels cut em in half toast em a bit, generously spread philadelphia (full fat) on both sides), fry some bacon.. and make bagle bacon sandwiches... thats your breakfast.. now for lunch... Im not gonna get in to that as its making me hungry... ye just get fatter...

Hmm yeah, but im a vegetartian and i dont want to eat fatty foods cos i care about my arteries and the pressure it would put on my heart :lol:

Im no good on a bike if i die of a heart attack later in life :smt002

I might take to the gym over the summer and bulk up that way :smt001
