Well, luckily my shorts still fit me. I have gained but I guess not enough to keep me from being able to get into the bad boy. Thank God for strechy material. LOL The padding is not that great in them anymore. They were getting old before I quit riding before. They will do for now though.
I still have all my old gear for the bike. I have the lights, helmet, gloves and I even have a bag that fits on the back for those days I might want to take longer rides. Of course that is down the road a ways.
I will watch for the sales like you girls suggested. I have looked at a lot of these sites and most of them that I have seen do not have the shorts in a size I need. I use to wear an XL, but according to the size charts I now need an XXL and most of them don't even have that size. ARRRGGGG
Do they think fat people don't ride or what? LOL
Oh, well, I will watch for the XL's to be on sale and by a pair or two and wear them when I lose weight. Hows that for enthusiasm? LOL
