New gear purchased - Thoughts ?
MarkDev replied to bigup's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Sounds like you have a pretty healthy budget to me, I paid £65 for my goretex/kevlar RSR jacket 25 years ago and its still doing well, I've had a couple of other jackets in that time but keep going back to the RSR one. I just brought some new textile trousers, 50 squid for some Cube waterproof (but not breatheable) ones. I haven't been so lucky with boots though....... Look for waterproof and breatheable, gone are the days when mb clothing was crap. -
I ride with my visor open all the year round but do wear sunglasses a lot, plastic framed ones bend to allow you to wear a helmet, 'frogeye' closefitting ones work well. Opticians will fit prescription lens in them. This is just a learned behaviour after riding a K100LT for years.

Sounds like learning counter steering would help the confidence, linked in with some one to one professional tuition?

Hi, The inside padding does deteriate over time, might be down to continual use and the oils in our skin, however I have just replaced my lid after about 12 years, the foam had started to crumble and the glue holding the lining fell to bits. Stored in the bag that came with it, visor replaced a few times, cleaned inside and out occasionally. I was doing about 10K a year when I brought it, a Caborg flip up design. Have fun. M
