    Hey guys, since we do not have much opportunity to ride, because we are working on bringing you great new gear, for those who have not heard it yet, there is a new motorcycle showroom open in Canberra featuring new and exclusive quality apparel.

    If you are looking for an additional option or something new that is not D*****R, I****N or similar, come and see what is new.

    We are small and friendly and no pressure on sales. We want you to be happy what you get and if it doesn't fit perfect, do not buy it.

    All of our gear is coming from European name brands, such as Akito, Buese and Spyke. Quality stuff and you won't find it anywhere.

    This month we are featuring the Akito textile range. Akito has been making motorcycle gear for almost 50 years, and are sold in over 45 countries world wide.

    for example: on sale is John McGunniess Kevlar jeans at $149.99 - and we still have most sizes in stock in the showroom. You gotta try them to feel the difference. Genuine top quality denim with genuine Kevlar

    Also, up for grabs the last of the Spyke Sport Top GP leather jackets. If you want to get set up and include the Slider LF pants, we will cut you an incredible deal.

    Not lastly Ladies, the fantastic new Tornado jacket is on sale this week at $199.99! Black and Blk/Gun/red in stock sizes 8 through 18!

    So come and see what is up for grabs. If you are looking for new stuff, we know we all fit differently. We are offering gear that is quality and may fit you perfectly. Again, no pressure to buy, so why not come and try?

    We are open also tomorrow from 10 AM to 4 PM so pop buy if for nothing else: a friendly chat!

    Aussiemoto Canberra Showroom, 5B, 52-54 Wollongong Street, Fyshwick, ACT 2609 - by St. George bank across from Pellegrino's Cafe! Hope to see you soon.

    **** October Update*****

    The new Akito Latitude and Tornado in Australian news: Mick Matheson (editor) of Australian Road Rider and his partner in full Akito gear spending long miles in the gear and long-testing the BMW 1200. Catch the continuation of the story in issue 119, out now (img. from issue 118) - Follow us on Facebook to see what's new...

    G'day @Aussiemoto Canberra and welcome to CR.

    It is great to have more competition in the market and most importantly, you are close to ONA :)

    Can you put up some pictures of the products above?

    Thank you Richo. We don't look at it as a competition, rather "having more choices". We are all about "the right fit" and our slogan/tag line reflects it " More choices, better rides". The truth is that we are all built differently, what fits Johns well, may not fit Bob as good. Our showroom is small, but wanted to have the feel of "home". Feel free to stop by and take a look. Even if for just a good chat...
    BUSE, AKITO, SPYKE - only sold by us in Canberra, and that will never change

    I'd be keen to check this out. Bigger question is why isn't this in the Business and Supporters section? Also, pics. Give pics. Or a website. Or links. Or something.

    How about gear for the profoundly rotund? Decent riding gear is near impossible to find.

    This is relevant to my interests.

    Not hard to tell at all. If the the waist size is the same as a 3XL but the sleeve/leg length is the same as a medium, you got yourself a rotund rider friendly bit of riding gear.

    That will depend on the cut/tailoring on the item and vary from brand to brand. Also it depends. how one jacket fits on you. If you have a jacket that falls in place on the shoulder properly, you are more likely to fit well the arms too. Again, you'd have to give it a go for the fitting, since that is why we offer more choices. Apologies if we could not provide precise advise.

    I'm not expecting to know exactly what you have that will fit, but a general idea if your stuff goes up to about 7XL will tell me if I should bother making the (300km) trip.

    Despite whatever remarks a few may choose to make the fact is there is a market out there nobody seems to want to know about.

    @doc dogg , there there is someone who has had stuff made for me but there is the problem of ordering unseen. Let me know if you want to know where to find him, it probably doesn't belong in this thread and he isn't local.

    Apologies for not noticing your location. You are correct, our range will not go up to 7XL, but will go up too 3xl -4xl and in women's sizes 20-22, depending on the product itself. There is a lot of reasons that clothing ranges do not go up to sizes like 7Xl and most of it is to keep a product viable on the market. It is sad to say, but painfully true regardless...
