Oh Lon....maybe you were trying on Lennie's Chaps. Marcel bought me a pair of leather pants a few years back and I never got a chance to wear them smirk One day they will fit again, hopefully I will still be able to get on the bike.

Pea,
I am afraid my dear, that it will take more cream than they make to get these undersized chaps to fit.
I may just use them as frontal rather than the whole leg.
Nice to C U Pea.

Better be carefu about that white stripe thingee. I am sure it will make you look taller, but am ascared that truckers checkin' their rear view may slow down too suddenly too surmise why a rogue skunkis backwards on a motrocycle chasing them down.

I think too much cream may be why the leather shrunk. I don't think they got the cream yet that reverses that.

I will now smile the rest of my day as I visualize you atop your ride with or without skunk stiping.

I don't have any leathers, but I am in the 1/3 who has had all their clothes shrink. It can't be that I am overweight, I'm just undertall.

This being a support group, hope this helps with your sitiation. Here's a short clip on how to stretch leather boots. You could follow this process, fill plastic bags with water, tape the bags to your body, put the chaps on, then spend a night sitting outside in the cold Wyoming wind to freeze the beauttox and stetch the chaps. Or maybe your local supermarket will allow you to spend the night sitting in their walk-in freezer? Best of luck with this!

Saddle soap. Apply liberally to both the leather and your body. Leathers should slide on nicely. Softer leather should stretch out a bit. Don't overdo this on the first trial, though.

Gbash is right, most people have busted out of their leathers. I see them everywhere. Very sad <rubbing eyes vigorously>.

Enjoy your spring. Soon it will be warmer and you can just wear the chaps. <winkwink>

Hi Lon: We need pictures then we don't need to try to visualize you in leathers or you on your 883! Pictures would be appreciated. Thank you...Tom
