Summer is threatening to break through at last. My RST textiles are very warm in the evening.

I'm looking for some good jeans and trying to keep things under £100 if possible.

At the moment I've seen Course and Bull-it.

I'm wary of Course as the description is vague.

Bull-it have their covec material and spare for knee and hip armour so I'm leaningtowards them.

Anyone got any suggestions or comments on these brands or others?

I have one of these bags for 2 weeks now. Construction and materials are quite good especially for the price. The hard shell looks good and is comfortable to wear. But as mentioned above there is no 'give' so you can't fit much bulk. I use it for work. It fits my lunch and gym kit which is all I need.

Just bought meself one of those mesh/armour thingies.

Last rode a couple of days ago and was sweating absolute buckets in my insulated jacket I'm still sticking with the regular pants for now, just with the liner taken out.

Riding around like a mutant ninja turtle

Went to doble Honda in Surrey. Nice guys , some great bikes in the showroom.

I think they may have miscalculated the box price but I'm not complaining.

I had a chat with the dealer today.

They have done a 37L Givi box fitted for 85 quid which I think is a good deal.

Nothing on the bike yet.

Plan is to keep the bike for up to 2 years.

Is 200 for it all bought and fitted a fair deal?

I've bought my first bike. A cb125f and I'm happy as can be with the little machine.

I'm in need of some storage for commuting.

Honda have quoted about 200 quid for a 30L box.

My uneducated self thinks this is a bit steep.

Other than that I've seen 30L bags for about 110 that are waterproof etc.

Bag would ideally fit a change of clothes and my helmet.

Imagine what I'd need to fit in there going to football training after work.

Any suggestions for me? Or shops in SW London that might be worth a visit for this?

These look like the best available.

Is there a members discount on these?

 

Unfortunately not but they are a good price already IMO

About 200 for 1.5m chain and lock.

Plan is to use this while the bike is locked at home.

Worth it if it stops my bike being nicked.

These look like the best available.

I'm thinking of doing the same but getting a cbr125 from superbike factory. Their bikes all seem to be cheaper than local. I'm South of London so it's 350 mile round trip to them. I'm not mechanically minded so I'd just be kicking tyres. It's a shame the rac don't do a bike check service.
