Yeah i did. I work on buying things to last 3 years, so i normally spend a bit more. £650 odd in 3 years is only £4 a week ish, which is not a lot for peace of mind. They do 0% interest for 10 months (is it 10?) and a loyalty card - might these help?

No it wont! Ive got a cbr and nothing worth while fits. But a nice big disc lock and some lunch will fit.

I got my lid, gloves, boots and their leathers. Got them down to £650 for the lot, which I was happy with, they also included a leather care kit and some socks! Their jackets and trousers (well mine do) have all the armour built into it, including a back protector, these can add upto a bit on their own.

You get what you pay for... I got my jacket and pants from hein geriche (well i got all my gear from them!) and was fitted by them. They were tight, but not uncomforatbly so - but now they have suppled up and are very comfy.

discovered, or stumbled upon? anyways was great fun!

Yes, been a great weekend thankyou. Must pass test, must pass test, must pass test - then dave can stop mocking me

Im getting out later hopefully, just got to finish the gardening first

I was fitted at Hein geriche for my leathers, and the jacket is quite tight - but not uncomfortably so, and i can only wear a t-shirt under mine maybe time for a diet.......

Would be good if you dont mind 8)

Thats it, kind of knew where it was but wasn't certain Only lived up here a few years, and only been into riding for the past few months - yep, im a proper newb!

Im gonna get flamed for this, how do you get to devils bridge...? sorry

Im free both days, but still on the 125 for now I live in Windermere

Ive not done that road - Actually ashamed to say not done that many roads yet. Just sticking to the ones i know well untill ive passed! Are we still meeting up somewhere then?

Just as you hit the staveley junction down the bypass? Nearing the bottom of plantation hill..... how did you guess!

Cheers mate, it will get to 60 eventually... Got my test in 3 weeks so need as much practice/advice as possible!!

Would love to come on a ride out! But would you be embaressed with me on my learner 125?!... Windermere might be busy as its the airshow

Well the leathers, boots and gloves come with a 2 year manufcturing warranty - so the only way to damage those is wear and tear, but i would look at replacing them in 2 years anyway. And they recomend a new lid every 2 years or so! If you think that you will replace them in 2 years its only £350 a year, which is roughly 90p a day! DOne over 300 miles in 2 weeks in all my gear and it is all great - comfy, warm but well vented, easy to get on and off etc etc Will definately go back to them again. However did buy my chain, lock, cover somewhere else as they were on the heavy side for all the peripherals (spelling!)

I bought an AGV Flipfront something or other for £100, very happy with it

I am just starting out but hein geriche was highly recomended by all my biking friends. I went to there store in Preston and was very pleased by their service and help. Bought the full lot ; Their own leather (2 piece), alpinestar boots, their gloves and an agv lid - Came to just over £700. With a bit of a haggle and getting one of their loyalty cards I got it down to £650 with a free leather care kit, i was very happy

First post! I live in windermere and there are a lot of nice runs out - but i haven't passed my full test yet, still on the 125!
