Getting gear

Went to a shop in the O.C. to get a player of gloves to take my MSF course next weekend. Got a cheap pair out of the sale bin since I'll ant to color coordinate once I get a bike.

Anyway, I'm a beefy guy and couldn't find a jacket at the dealership. I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on some online sites to possibly order some larger gear from. I'll probably need to custom order jacket and pants/chaps. Thanks for any suggestions that you might have had reliable service from.

They have an entire page dedicated for the bigguns. I found my boots on that site.

one good thing about motorcycling is that it's an activity that fat guys can get into so there are options for the "husky gentleman" out there. Also check your local yellow pages for any leather workers in your area. Sometimes you can get a custom fit jacket for not a whole lot more than the fashionable brands.
