Beloved,
I tried on the black leather chaps, that make me look tough and manly, the other day. I am not sure what has happened but they start gett'en real tight up around the top of my legs. Something else happened I even had to let out the leather strings above my bu-ttocks. For the life of me how does this happen.
Strange how they are still too long, but seem to have shrunk in the ..waste..... is there a cream that will stretch this priceless part of my heritage????
I hate to have to go to the stretchy things......

Are they too tight on my legs, if my ankles start to turn purple? Maybe the zipper shrunk? Any succinct comments that will hulp me keep on rid'en will be sorted as to content and veracity...
Would I look taller, ahem, if I painted a white stripe down the front of my black leather?

ON my black leather jacket, I had carved: " help me kick my AS " two guys must have misunderstood, it took me about 1o minutes to wrestle them to the ground...

Ah, I love it here. You are all important! Keep the Faith, stay the course, and continue to learn and apply the truth that gets you closer to your goal.

Lonnie,

It's a fact that all pants and black leather chaps shrink after a few years, which is why 1/3 of all humans now wear clothing that is too small. You could gain some chaps room by not wearing anything under them, but you should stay away from the watering holes then (I'm trying to get that picture out of my head). And thanks for the warning about the "help me kick my AS" on a jacket. I guess it's a bit like having a "kick me" sign pasted to the back of nerds.

gbash,
wow 1/3 have this trouble??
I am nearly normal. amazing. I totally underestimated how much better I would feel.
I had never thought about NOT wearing anything under the chaps ....... to be honest, I am still not thinking about it. I would much rather endure a little binding in the neither regions than to get a real chaffe going.
are you serious, my "help me" sign reminded you of "nerds" how awesome. at my age... I will tell my neurologist next week.
nice to chat, I keep getting kicked out of the watering holes... the don't make enough $ on coffee and Tea.
thanks for the in site.

LOL. I was a bit off...1/3 are now wearing clothing too tight, and another 1/3 have totally busted out of their clothing. And those amounts are growing every year.

elmer,
I am not sure what the culture is there, but out here, lol most Harley's require a bit of modesty, due to the wind, if nothing else.

Riding always makes me happy.
yep, sure does

Lon,

We're are finally getting some good rain!!! We got 3 inches on Monday, which means that we are only about 18 inches behind over the past 18 months. The flowers are blooming and the trees are budding, so it's a wonderful spring now. Even the ponds are starting to fill.

My leathers don't fit either. Way too big now and can't get on a bike anymore. Get some of that leather cream and that should loosen them up a bit or ask someone at the store what to do. Can't have you out there riding with your hinds hanging out!!! You are so funny Lon!
