Was tempted to post this under 'Performance Mods' in order to get even more ridicule but lost my bottle

For £12 from 'Lambland' I got sucked in ... it must be my distance Welsh roots

But, I must say it is the most comfortable thing my backside has had the pleasure of sitting on in quite a while

Let the well deserved abuse begin!

What, sheep ain't waterproof?

Could do with a little matting down to tell you the truth ... bit too fluffy ... people might think it was uncool

Quite pleased by the comedy value though.

I see tassles on the shopping list for you two.

 
My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.

Sheep skins are great except for the small problem of Welshmen (or in our case Kiwis) humping your bike every time
you pull over for fuel

I know, I KNOW ... bring it on!

I do love the washed out look of EnGage's sheep ... something to aim for

Drawing the line at tassles ...

Cheers chaps, Lee.

Well Engage, if it's been branded a "Merkin" it makes me wonder what the hell you have under it and how bad it smells!

Merkin Defined

Oh, and if you REALLY want it to TRULY be a Merkin, you can wear while you dance around a fire after a long day's ride

i am disturbed now and in need of therapy,

the seat was one thing too far, probably in denial over the teddy you never had as a child horse

( im sure ann summers has an outfit to match and i bet you like your women hirstute)

but sean....
raiding horses facebook for a picture of him and his mate in their new bike gear.......
thats just all wrong on so many levels....

OK, enough now I realise the error of my ways (sort of) ... guess I'll have to return my chaps too.

It's been quite an education ... my Merkins bigger than yours, etc.
