Does anyone know where to buy womens motorcycle trousers/jeans for the vertically challenged, ideally 27" inside leg, as I am sure my wife is not the only person with this predicament.

If you find out let all us girls know! ;)

I must admit to just trawling round the shops and just keep trying stuff on until I find what I like - drives any fellow shopper nuts! Most shorter girls I know tend to find kit that fits apart from leg length and then get them taken up. I have to find another set of leathers myself as I trashed mine so if I find anywhere that does a variety of leg lengths I'll let you know.

There is a shop which specialises in ladies bike gear but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called! :-/

Watch this space!

The following sites may be helpful,

www.ladybiker.co.uk

www.girlsbike2.com

www.thunderroad.co.uk claim they keep a good range of kit.

At the least they will give an idea of what kit is about.

Now this is for those with very very very short legs! But useful all the same for midgets or those who would like their little darlings to have suitable attire!

Cheers for the info. Girlsbike2 didn't seem to have much, ladybiker looks useful, babybiker - I think I'll keep my mouth shut with that one for fear of reprisals.

lol!

Actually, I had a look at Babybiker - purely out of curiosity you understand! and they do leather jeans/trousers up to 29 inside leg which fits teenagers, so may be worth casually mentioning!.

i always have to have my leathers altered (i'm 5'2"), I use Cobra Leathers in Swindon to do this and I've always been happy with the price and quality.

yep they'll put names on leathers too, might be an idea fo print off the type of font you'd like. She works on her own and she's fairly popular you can end up leaning them with her for a while.

Here's the number for cobra: 01793 490119

Surely the problem associated with shortening leathers is that any knee armour ends up around your ankles?

If they are shortened properly/professionally, that won't happen.

Went to Girlsbike2 at Poole on Sunday. Very friendly, very helpful. Good range of sizes & stock
