1) seems like when they use number sizes such as 44, they don't have my size or am I thinking I am a size that doesn't exist? I saw a few ladies jackets where the smallest size was 38... I was thinking I am a 34 since my bust size is a 34... Am I just totally dumb or are they making ladies jackets for fat chicks these days?2) What do you guys think is sexy?I kinda like this alpinestar jacket: a) http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/2/49/7018/ITEM/AGV-Sport-Womens-Xena-Leather-Jacket.aspxb) http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/2/49/588/ITEM/Alpinestars-Womens-4W-Dyno-Leather-Jacket.aspxc) http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/2/49/1278/ITEM/Alpinestars-Womens-Stella-7-2-Leather-Jacket.aspxWhat do you guys think?

are you going to want to wear anything under the jacketconsider if they are sized normally, you may have to go up a size or two to be able to wear something under it and be comfortable
10/22/2007 12:02:03 PM
Here's something I just got from looking at the sizing charts...Are you looking at the European sizes? They're bigger than US sizes.BTW, Squirt, I'd go for either the AGV (from an aesthetic perspective, anyway, shit would rock on you) or the Alpinestars Stella. Then your choice would really depend on what kind of pants you'd want to eventually get (which I think is a good thing to have; I like being able to zip jacket and pants together for an effective 1-piece) as to whether or not to pick the Stella. But the AGV jacket has thicker leather, and looks way more sexy.And there's only one color to consider. PINK. Not just a girly thing, pink says ATTITUDE. That's why it's one of my favorite colors. And I'm a guy, sure, but I would rock pink leathers because that shit is BADASS. Everything else is same ol' same ol'...and I want anything but.
10/22/2007 12:10:08 PM
Well honestly... I really like the AGV... And I was thinking of getting white leather pants. I know its white and dirt shows up, but they look sooo hot on Jessica Maine! I will prolly wear anything to keep me warm if I am riding in 40 degree weather.. I am pretty hard core about riding in the winter... I may even go to a 36 for thatI guess I could go on the R6 forum and post something about size for the girlies on there[image]nullhttp://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=10970298&albumID=524221&imageID=17232934[Edited on October 22, 2007 at 12:22 PM.

I think white rocks, and you should go for it. EVERYBODY and his brother's wife's cousin's dog's fleas wears black leathers, and that shit is so cliche.I might look like a total faggotunschtein to some folks, but I'd totally sport white and pink together. And Squirt would be so HAWT in that combination...ha ha ha.
10/22/2007 12:25:01 PM
YOu're right about the black... I mean my bike is black... I was hoping to find a white with red on it ... but all I seem to find is pink... and honestly, teh Raven, Teh Black Dahlia and I all agree we are not that girly :-P I have been riding a year.. its time to step shit up and get more girls riding and more stunting!
10/22/2007 12:33:06 PM
Dammit, all y'all with bikes are gettin' me all bent out of shape about riding again.I don't need this kind of abuse...ha ha ha ha.BTW, why not get you a set custom-made?[Edited on October 22, 2007 at 12:37 PM. Reason : leathers how you want 'em...]

Go for it! I can tell you this: even though I've only done track days in cages, it's just about the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Only wheel-to-wheel racing would be better, IMO.
10/22/2007 1:11:04 PM
I thought about racing dirt bikes, and I might continue to do that, but I think I really would like to race street bikes as well and learn to stunt... not a whole lot of girls stunt their bike...

10/22/2007 3:37:07 PM
Squirt... what size is your textile jacket? Usually there are sizing charts, however I'd suggest going to Cycle Gear or Team Powersports & trying a few on that are made by the same company so you get a better idea for the size. Also, a little room is OK, but don't buy one that's really roomy, they are meant to fit somewhat snug (especially the styles you're looking at). This is a sizing chart I found... might be helpful for reference. Usually they include a bust size index, but I haven't found one with that included for the Alpinestars.http://www.motorcycletoystore.com/sport/shop.php/sizing-chart-alpinestars/i_9.htmlWhite leathers with red accents would be hot & be a nice ying/yang look with the Raven... I hate how they make most of the girl stuff pink or UNC blue. I don't know much about AGV Sport, but the lines on that jacket are much more appealing IMO.

Try newenough.com, they have decent stuff for cheap.
10/22/2007 8:11:20 PM
black is gonna be extremely hot in the summer, and white is gonna show dirt/sweat/road rash/bugs/etc really badly.
10/22/2007 8:24:50 PM
i knew a guy whod spray paint his shit with krylon if he bit the dust or got road rashand that lexol shit that advance auto sells for leather seats works really good on leathers from what he says
10/22/2007 8:30:58 PM
R U SAYIN UR BEWBS IS TOO BIG?
10/22/2007 8:44:11 PM
HOORAY FOR BEWBS!!!that said, i vote (A)
10/22/2007 9:39:18 PM
nah I went all over the intranets looking for jackets... My bewbs are fine btw Igors... but the AGV doen't not have the zippers for leather pants... and I kinda wanted to get some pants to make into a suit incase i wanna do a track days sometime :-) OR just look hot with my white pants... I will be getting black chaps to go with it too... I think the next best one would be the Apline stars with the white and black stripe on it.. not as sexy as the AGV but will aloow the pants to become attached :-)Does anyone have any other ideas... maybe I missed something on the intranets...
10/23/2007 12:26:40 PM
chaps w/ no pants, only way to ride.
10/23/2007 12:41:30 PM

for real leathers, i personally would makes sure i had a jacket and pants that zip togetherif you want something to wear over street clothes to commute in the winter, i wouldn't get any silly chaps. get a waterproof, insulated textile suit that's made to do that.
10/30/2007 2:08:09 AM
^ First Gear and Teknic make some good quality, affordable textile overpants, I have both and they both do well, I have never even needed to put it the insulated liner in the first gear pants even in 20 degree weather.
10/30/2007 7:45:53 AM
I actually have those trixie pants and I must say I don't really care for them... they sit too low on my waist and if I ever went down in them my stomach/hips would be ripped to shreds, especially since the matching jacket is pretty short. An 8" zipper won't do very much for you.
10/30/2007 7:50:35 AM
yeah, don't wait to get rashed up to start putting function over all else when it comes to your gear.
10/30/2007 9:20:49 AM
Well I checked on another site and that pair are suppose to zip together... Thats why I wanted to get them. I also like low cut pants... so that'll work...
10/30/2007 10:31:11 AM
^^ no one's saying she can't still wear those chaps with nothing underneath for halloween
10/30/2007 10:33:22 AM
