you do go on Dan.



I suspect if it went to court , you would be coming away with a few more points than 3 , and a larger fine .

I need a new pair of leather trousers ...... and quickly.

The zip on the Wolf pair I had been using broke some time back and I had forgotten about this until a couple of weeks ago.

I got the zip replaced but it was replaced with a zip that was 1" shorter and the stitching was crap and this has now fallen apart.

Whilst I get this sorted out I need a 'spare' pair.

Problem I have, as well as being short, is having large thighs and calfs and therefore find it difficult to get leathers off the peg to fit. Can anyone recommend anything to look at?

Anyone got any experience of made to measure? Sondel Sports are not too far away from me and they could measure me up for a pair of BKS trousers.

TIA
