I'm bending a little rule I made for myself about keeping my political views out of my motorcycle blog, but I couldn't resist this. You all know how much The Joker loves a good laugh.
Speaking of the chaps, they really weren't pink, but they WERE the wrong size, along with my new boots. You don't suppose when I sent 'em back for exchange they were completely OUT of STOCK - for both items! I'm not joking this time. So, it cost me a little over 20 bucks to ship the stuff back for a refund - less the shipping of course. At least the damned jacket fit. In the end, LeatherUp.com is a good deal - as long as you don't have to send anything back.
Never being one to quit, I got back on my surfboard and found some boots at Zappos.com, and some chaps at TopGearLeathers. I remain hopeful, but if this stuff doesn't fit, I may take a drive off that frigging bridge myself!

Damn that cracked me up............almost as much as picturing you in pink chaps......lmaooooooooooooooo
I bought a great designer brand leather motorcycle jacket from Overstock.com with cool racing stripes down the sleeves for a great price. The leather sleeves are perforated for cooling in the summer. The jacket didn't fit and I had to return it for a smaller size and pay the return shipping. I argued with the customer service people that if they want to compete with the regular stores where I can try things on, they are going to have to exchange stuff at no cost to me as incentive for me to buy online. They were not in agreement; go figure.
The smaller jacket fits great. I took it to Ocean City Bike Week in Maryland and had some cool Harley #1 patches sewn on. A big one on the back and a matching little one on the front over one of the chest pockets. It's very cool and unique!
Heh...what the hell. I don't get it. All I know is that this is destined to be a legendary riding season for you because your going through way too much crap. I don't know why but I am getting annoyed along with you. Stop messing with my bro's you ho's! Grrrrrr!!!! Whatever happen to the customer is always right. No wonder crap is going overseas...ok, ok...i'll shut up.
Good stuff as always, Joker. Added you to my blog roll.
Joker, you definitely need a good dose of Road Therapy! Ride On! Lady R
Ronman: Glad you got a laugh, though I'm surprised you got the joke. I wasn't thinking when I put it up that it really is a local sort of thing. I guess Teddy's bloated face has been around so long even folks in the Volunteer State know about his sordid past.
Jay: Never tried Overstock, I'll have to check it out. With gas prices - esp. diesel - going up, I wouldn't be surprised if even the sites that offer free shipping start charging for it. Put a pic of you in the jacket on your blog so we can see how cool you are!
Dave: There's good news in the next post!
Dean: Welcome & thanks. I'll check out your blog when I can.
Lady: Amen to that darlin'!
This cracked me up so much I had to watch it again.......and I thought everyone knew about the block head's past. I'll refrain from typing everything I'm thinking. Let's just say a popular bumper sticker says Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun has........

Ronman: All you have to do is watch "Jay Walking" on the Tonight Show to find out how dumb the average American is in terms of general knowledge. He asked one guy if he knew what McCarthyism was and he said, "Er...wasn't he like one of the first ten Presidents?" Yep - the future of America - scary!
Until the motor died & I got rid of it, my truck had a bumper sticker that said: "I'd rather be Hunting with Dick Cheney, than Riding with Ted Kennedy!"
