What boots are they? Just out of interest.

I was thinking of getting those, the TCX Competizone RS boots or Arlen Ness 1064's. I went with the 1064's in the end, although they're not waterproof. I think the white and black oxford ones look better though...

I like the pink jacket (maybe it's slightly TOO pink though, at least mines black, white and pink).... just because it's different and I like that she's showing everyone she's female and into motorbikes (if that makes any sense whatsoever), although, it would be much better in purple

Congrats!!!

Same!! Me toooooo! Although I'm a xs with some brands, don't know about Arai though!

Whoa!!! How amazing! I just watched the whole of that video and needless to say, I'm super jealous of everyone who went and watching that's made me want a bike even more, pffft Andy, you wore your mohawk!!

I'll almost definitely be going but I haven't decided what day yet, may just go along whenever I want and buy tickets at the gate.

Yaaaaay! Finally eh Dan? At least it's sorted out now

Woohoo! At least it means next years MotoGP will be interesting

Oh pfffft! If only a had a bike. I hope everyone who goes has an awesome time though!

I thought if you did a CBT on the scooter then you can actually only ride a scooter and not a 125cc bike after you've completed your CBT though? I don't know, maybe I'm wrong

Oooow I thought they were going to be cooler than that I don't like them

I still can't believe you got that close to JT

No, no and nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I think my belt works perfectly fine for now

Why would I want to do that?

You'll be lucky if you get all that for your budget!! My jacket alone cost that. Everything would have to be really cheap and then, well personally, I wouldn't trust say... a £50 helmet to protect me in a crash, but just get the best you can afford. If you did get summer gloves you could always put those thermal type gloves underneath for winter, I don't know whether that'd keep your hands warm enough though, I guess it depends on how cold this winters going to be. Although I agree with WalneyFrankie, with the weather how it is here in the UK you'd definitely get more use out of winter ones. Always try on your helmet before you buy it, you could try one on in a shop to get the right fit but if its cheaper online then go for it providing you've tried one on first. Try checking out http://www.topgearsuperstore.com/ or similar online shops.

Whoa! That is crazy!!

I completely agree! Although, I think I'm in love with the special edition one!! http://i28.tinypic.com/301361s.jpg

I want to see a video of how this works because I can't quite imagine it. And ditto what Matt said, if the helmet fit properly then inflating it would squish the riders head further into the helmet's padding at the front, wouldn't that be uncomfortable if the rider actually did have an injury to their neck or spine??

I guess that's true. Pics of what??

Nope I can't, it sucks :/

Unless the back protector is 5 inches thick I think I'm still going to have a huge gap!! Lol I have belt loops, why did I not think of that!?! Wow really not with it today. Might try braces too but I'll see how I get on just using a belt. Thanks everyone! JEEZ Gem! How much weight did you lose in 4 days?!? That cant be healthy lol Ummm 8lbs I was still eating though, just not as much.

This is going to sound ridiculous but I haven't had an appetite since Friday and I have a fast metabolism so I lose weight like crazy when I don't eat properly, but now my leather trousers that I got the day before Mikey's meet and were slightly big on the waist then but fine everywhere else are... well, I'm pretty sure I could pull them down without undoing them and I can certainly fit both hands and arms in them now How can I make them smaller on my waist since they're fine everywhere else? I was thinking, would sewing velcro onto them work somehow? Because then I could just adjust them all the time...

I missed the start of the race because I was expecting a build up so quickly went to do my lunch for the next day, pffft! Ok not a huuuuuge deal because I only missed 1 minute but I wanted to join in in the ranting about the BBC
