not for me thanks especially at the expected price tag! plus its more of a distraction
you've got to be kidding me... i get pi55ed off if i get a few fly's squashed on my visor!
i wouldn't be able to concentrate with all that cr4p in view, no way at all. Not for me.

Dimmers do they have a web site for folks like me miles away ta
yes
http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/
and you'll notice that some products are listed as 'online price only', or 'Camberley store only price'

The infinity motorcycles in Southampton is the best shop by far around here. Knowledgeable and friendly and as you say, great prices.
That's a ridiculous bargain that you got
yep, i'm well pleased! couldn't believe the price tag when i looked at it. matching jacket was reduced from £350 to £250... if it had been £89.99, i would have bought that as well.
-
it's not often i will come on here and say how good a shop is, but honestly, i've really got to mention Infinity motorcycles in Camberley... first time i'd been there since it opened in January this year, and what a great place. First off, it's just a massive warehouse filled with bike gear, and second, most of it is at a really good price, third, some of it is at a fantastic price.
and now for the best bit... i managed to pick up a pair of Held gore tex trousers (size small) on sale from £299.00 to £89.99. I couldn't believe it, i had to double check with the girl on the till before trying them on... even come with a 5 year guarantee. Been after a pair of gore tex trousers for ages now, but was not willing to pay £300+ for them!
No more wet pants when i arrive at work in the morning (from the rain, not from wee'ing myself
anyway, worth a look if you can get down there, they've got lots of Rukka gear on sale as well, and it's not often you get a shop with 3 large changing rooms. The girl in the shop also kept an eye on my little boy whilst he was running riot around the shop
-
yep, i put one on last winter and had to kick myself for not buying one sooner... absolutely no misting on the inside of my visor, period!
-
Knee armour in textile trousers are really not worth much, like you've found out they move around too much. Do yourself a favour and get some strap on armour and ditch the current knee armour that's in your trousers!
-
check out these guys, they sell the very best security locks/chains/ ground anchors in my opinion... The 'Protector' chains are awesome, i own one and it is very solid (and an 'untouchable' lock)

nice budget for all your gear, you can get a lot for that!
if possible, get yourself down to Hein gericke for some good kit, gore-tex jacket and trousers easily affordable with your budget.
boots, look at TCX and Sidi, they are really good, i own a pair of each.
back protectors (and other additional strap on armour), in my opinion, look no further than forcefield. Their back protectors are some of the best, and are very comfortable. The pro sub 4 is my back protector of choice, and i fully recommend it. Something else to consider if you go for textil trousers is some strap on knee armour. The knee armour that is supplied as standard within textile trousers will always be CE approved, but that won't make much of a difference if when you come off your bike (hopefully you never do) the armour moves around and isn't in the correct position. With strap on knee armour, it will stay in place, and actually protect your knee in the event of an off. This isn't as big a problem with race style leather trousers, as they are much tighter fitting, and keep the armour where it should be much better.
helmets, have to agree with the previous post, go for a good brand if you can afford it, Arai are my choice, but make sure the fit of the helmet is right for you, this is VERY important. Shark/Agv do some good helmets at good prices if you wanted to keep your budget down. Saying that, the Arai Axcess helmet is around the £200 mark, and a very good entry level Arai (it's the one i own).
gloves... you could take a risk and order these online, but do yourself a favour (much like all the other gear you buy) get yourself in to a shop and try it on first, and then keep it on for a few minutes. See how it feels, open and close your hands a lot, walk around for a bit. If they feel uncomfortable in the shop after a few minutes, they will cause you a lot of pain on the bike after 15/30 mins of riding, trust me, i've been there! Plenty of good gloves can be bought for around the £50/60 mark, it just depends if you want them to be waterproof or not, then the price can sneak up to £100 for gore-tex, but if you're riding all year round then it's well worth it. Saying that, the shelltech gloves are good as well, and stay pretty dry.
RST are a good value brand in my opinion, and have lasted me over 3 years now for leather and textiles, and held up well in a low speed slide.
If you can, check out a Ride magazine, and take a look at what they recommend, they usually have a section at the back which covers the majority of gear and what they think is good/bad.
i think that's enough from me for now... enjoy your shopping! i know i would with a £1000 budget

Like I said before. I was trying to help and perhaps I made a mistake. You still didn't have to be such a prick.
Every little helps...
oh hang on, that's Tesco, what's Asda again?

this bike is soooooooo much better than anything else, period, especially a Yamaha FZ1
-
Yes financial help to make that dream happen, absolutely beautiful bike, go for it!
we are looking at the same picture, the ne of the fat monster
Having sat on it, i can also confirm the riding position is horrible too!
Well to me anyway
ok, i'm gonna bite here, this bike is AWESOME! the seat could be a made out of granite and i'd still want one, it looks the dogs danglies, and if i had the money i'd go buy one today.
anyway, everyone knows that the fat ones are a better ride!!!
-
I want this bike so bad!!!
Saw it at Alton cafe the other day, but with a few mods on it, sounded amazing!

12.5k miles rear
-
Probably bored of me posting reviews in here now on this tyre, but i thought it was only fair that i put a final post in this week, as on Friday i'm getting the rear replaced (finally).
After doing a staggering 12,500 miles, it has finally worn through all the tread (in the middle of the tyre anyway).
Considering how i ride, and that my last tyre (BT012) only did around 3,500 miles, i'm very impressed. Hence the reason i'm buying another pilot road 3 on Friday.
if i can remember, i'll post another pic just before it comes off.
-
almost 1 year on, and this bag is still going strong! has not leaked once, and i've used it in some very heavy rain. It also holds a surprising amount of 'stuff' considering how lightweight it is. Really no need to use anything else, it's so lightweight that i forget i'm wearing it half the time and have to double check i haven't forgotten on my ride in to work some mornings.

sportsbikeshop the RST range of gloves are very good value for money
-
£110... easily done if you're buying any of the Kriega backpacks... would love one, but can't justify it!
-
Stu's description of fitting was spot on!
Stu's description was borderline erotic!!
there's just no other way to describe it, that's exactly how you're supposed to do it! althought i leave out the spit bit, a good hard push normally gets them all the way in...
-
moldex spark plug (ear plugs) i find the best
20 packs of ebay for around £3.
or if you need something bigger, the Howard Leight Max ear plug is very good also.
Stu's description of fitting was spot on!

I run pilot 3s and they are fantastic. The rear has done 12k miles and still has some life left. Wet weather performance is brilliant.
-
nice to see this thread up and running, look forward to more posts!
-
Ok, just thought i'd post another update, just hit 10k miles on this set of pilot road 3's the other day, and there is still enough tread left for another 500 miles or so.
Yep, i shall be getting another pilot road 3 for the rear next time round!
Bell M5X Daytona

love the look of this helmet! going to try a few on this weekend i think. Not many people wearing Bell helmets, in fact, i don't think i've seen anyone wearing a Bell helmet. They look so good though, and the quality seems to be right up there. Hope it fits my head nicely
