Default How dumb am I?

I own a pair of Ladystar Daytona boots (essential for getting my foot anywhere near the floor whilst riding)

Just over a month ago I purchased (on impulse) a pair of leathers RST's of which I tried on (without boots)..... you can see where it's going.

Decided to try all kit on today and guess what. ..... trousers are too long and I can't zip boots up


Need to cange my hair colour !!!....... arrrgggghhhhhh

can't you get them taken up a bit, I know Sam got some leather trousers shortened a few years ago, wasn't as much as expected either.

Just a thought.

Cheers Mark.

lol... cheer up hun, we`ve all done stuff like that.

A couple of months ago i bought a new AGV Stealth basically because I "liked the look of it". I`ve found it extremely uncomfortable because the chin piece is quite wide and i must have a short neck cos when riding i can`t turn my head properly to the side as the helmet catches on my shoulder.

So today I had to buy another helmet!! The stealth has been worn about 6 times and has turned out to be a total waste of money

whats the harm in putting the boots under your trousers?? If you can't zip your boots up, then surely thats the answer....or are they toooooooooooooooooooooo long. Your lucky, I'm currently looking for some higher up the calf boots because my trousers ride up my legs and i get an inch gap between the two, its sooooo draughty

Cheers guys, I have just emailed DK where I bought them from hoping they wil feel sorry for me and exchange for the shorter leg version.

If not I may be taking your advice Rictus.

Defender I have no idea he ain't my man seeing him tomorrow with any luck tho.

Dizzyblonde, the leather trousers taper into the ankle so have to go inside the boot, there is room at the top of the boot to put the bottom of the leg of the trousers in but they are just toooooo long and want to go lower in effect the leather wrinkles up, I cant zip the calf zip down and my boot zip wont zip .... I should have know this when I tried them on but I was too busy chatting LOL

Arrggghhhh LOL

AAAAArrrrgggghh why can't us girls ever get stuff that fits right, its why I don't wear leathers anymore. The only pants I can wear right with my bike is my draggin jeans, not too short not too long. I like you bought my current textiles without wearing my boots, but they felt and looked like they were going to do the job.....til I got on the bike and they did exactly the same as leathers


and another thing... I am far from fat, but why do I have 2 pairs of leather pants with zips that have burst??

Sounds like me with my Nolan lid which I really did love with its built in sun shade and flip front, although felt fine in the shop was actually too big after a few times of wearing the windblast was getting inside it and pulling my head back hurting my neck! the next size down was way too tight. So off I went and spent another couple of hundred on a Shoei which fits perfectly!!

At least you may be able to get them changed or even altered Shell
