The new avro's feel like the best set of leathers I have ever owned, I tried everything from HG own stock through to Alpines irrespective of the price, just wanted a good fit. I was made up with them, took them out for a good twisty ride from Rochdale up to Devils and over to Southport met a mate, had a couple of coffee’s then flew back via A580 - was dark and cold For the 4 or so hours riding they were great, until I came to unzip them and the stitching had come away from where the zip is attached to the bottoms. If they were cheap 2nd's I would have sewn them up. Off to HG for a replacement pair. Picked them up Thursday of last week, had to get them shipped in from Germany. Not wore them yet, need to wear them in a little around the house, might do that today... They are Dianese so I am guessing the machinist had a bad day, as I wouldn't expect that to happen. Anyway 2 years guarantee to if it happens again, full refund will be made., Ref patches, I just fancied my name on my arse and a few around the usual areas, don't know yet, just playing with the idea.
