Leather Pants

Post by rooster »

After my off on the Gingers ride I have finally realised that I need to wear a more durable clothing over my walking bits.
I am looking for recommendations for leather pants that are good for long days in the saddle, walking around and beside being very protective are also comfortable.

I wear leather jeans kinda thing but not the shit the yupies used to wear at discos, proper like ones from a bike shop, I bought mine at Matador leathers in Moorabbin, Mars leathers CBD are another option, there is also Steve Peters in Ocean Grove and Torrini/Black Rose in POrt Melbourne, that's a few options to play with for leathers, am sure there's more too.

Good thinking mate. I can highly recommend Collins leathers. Their pants are really comfortable and have armour in all the right places. You can buy both Jacket and Pants or either.

You call them and they take your size over the phone including your Levi's Jean size and they send them to you

That was weird??? I posted up the phone number, which then didn't show up in the post. I went in to edit and add it again, but when in edit mode it showed up??? So I spaced out the first four digits and it then showed up in the post???? IS this some type of new security Measure or was it just an odd glitch???? :?
