Right I'm off touring soonish although Maurice has kindly stated that I shouldn't need leathers for Spain , I'm probably not going to go THAT far south and will burn through France towards the N85 and play in Switzerland for a bit after a visit to Barca Adorra and maybe Madrid, all Northern Spain.

I am a very awkard size and my size is sort of changing gone and put 1.5 inches on my chest from pumping iron recently cus I'm sure I was a 37 , now a 38 and my old ruined Dainese 46EU size won't fit...

But I keep finding ebay leathers that on the face of it will fit, and are cheap and I can take to Andelle Bolton or Anne in Todmorden, however the colours are erm how can I say it garish.

There is silver, kawak green , purple and pink, although I previously have worn some seriously strangely coloured leathers like banana yellow (which turned to a horrible dirty yellow after all the flies mushed into it).... and so on...

Has anybody actually changed the colour of leathers? thinking a spray can of hammerite black just won't do...

You sure it isnt just moobs from all that indulging in HK?.... Razz

I think leather paint is kinda of plastic based or something if you use hammerite its gonna crack as they dry hard. Anyway i thought you ONLY wore ghey coloured leathers?
