  1. Been lurking for quite a while, but just got an '81 CB750. Had the title transfered today and so thought it was a good idea to figure out how to ride the thing. I was scared shitless driving it home after buying it as I've never driven a road bike before and thought every car on the road was going to veer into me unexpectedly. But damn is it fun. I've been driving a yamaha vino for the past year and it feels so nice to be going faster than 30 mph. Fare warning to anyone with a pair of skulls, I felt like my balls being shoved into my stomach while riding this thing. Skinny jeans are not for motorcycles apparently. The only experience driving a shifting bike are the times my uncle's ranch on the atv's but its about the same, clutch, shift, throttle. minus the possibility of being clotheslined by a barbwire fence (not fun) but there aint no barbwire in the city and I think motorcycling is my new favorite hobby.

  2. hello gentlemen,

    i'm trying to get ahold of some dry/undistressed 19cm jeans. I know the DH sizing is a bit funky, and am wondering if some one can answer some questions. How much can the denim stretch? Is there a stretching difference between the italians and the japanese? is there a weight difference between the two? are the waist sizes the same between the two? I'm don't know if I should get a pair of 30 or 31's. I wear size 32 in Nudie slim jims, 30 in diesel, and i think typically 32. I went to barneys (where they told me they dont carry odd sizes) and tried on a 32, it was huge, and tried on a 30 which was pretty tight. i'm not sure if i couldnt get the clasp shut or if i didnt want to damage the jeans. I want the jeans to stay pretty tight/slim. so if anyone has any advice, that would be awesome.cheers
