What fuggin' use are Jacket sizes?

I've been looking at getting a new textile jacket from EBay (sorry Joe) but
every bastard advertises as "L" "XL" etc. with no real dimensions.
This feller http://tinyurl.com/7jpak says his L is 138cm chest (XL is also
138 and XXL is 148), but instead I bought a Dri-Rider XXXXL (for big porky
boys) only to find that it has a chest size of 127cm!!

What the fark?!!
No wonder Joe Underweasel has had to employ half of aus.moto just to
friggin' measure people!

 

You should try selling the shit.

You'd get into a 6XL Dri Rider methinks....unless you've added some poundage
since we last met.

just imagine the problem gNat will go through when she is buying bikinis

:-( is she a big 6 or a small 8?

a larger jacket will make you look thinner than too small a jacket.

but if you ride a bmw no one will see beyond the bike.

Hey Clem, have a look at the Ulyyses Web site. DriRider 3xxxl jacket and
pants for $100. On the other hand, you could consider membership of the fat
bastatds motorcycle club (of which I am already a member).

If you can still afford clothing as well as maintaining the bike!

Buy it Clem--you can turn it into a K75G/S!
Frank Warner or Chris McCardle will show you how...(or Paul Rooney--he's
sorta up your way)
