http://radhikageorge.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/can_of_worms.jpg TBH mate you are asking lot's of questions with lots of answers... Stick to the basics Does it fit properly... I mean properly. No loose points, and no overly tight points. Is it appropriately approved for legal use in this country. A £40 helmet that fits perfectly will be safer in an accident than a £400 helmet that does not fit properly. I wear a Shoei. Not because I like the helmets they make, or the brand, or that they are popular, but because it fits me so perfectly it's like Shoei use my actual head as a template!!!!!

If the weather is not looking too good, don't think I will bother. Shame, gonna be a wasted weekend after a week of glorious sunshine!!

I have a personal preference for Knox (The Knox contour is very good) Forcefield are meant to be very good as well, and Alpinestar produce one. From what I understand for comfort and protection Forcefield are meant to be the best. Good guide here for selection and fitting: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=15836

All good. The boots and the Jeans especially. Have you got gloves and back protector?

Not a lady either, but look at Alpinestars "Stella" Collection. Also might be able to find something here. http://www.ladybiker.co.uk/

Hmm... Right just have a ride past and see what it's like then. Not into all that crap really... As proven, it's when accidents happen.

Gonna have a quick ride down tonight.... Been told by a work colleague that apparently tonight is biker night... Location is at "The Anchor" pub in Oakenthorpe. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 4&t=h&z=15 Postcode is DE55 7LP

Best thing to do is probably tell her to put up with it... Eventually it should re-shape... Could take a while though.

Dunno about the hole mate... On some of the Kevlar jeans you do get a small zip on the back of them. When I got my Alpinstar Jacket it came with a full zip and the other side of the zip. Therefore if I bought a pair of trousers that were not Alpinestar I could get the other part of the zip sown to the trousers. In the event of an off with no attachment though it all come down to fit and probably a little luck. If it's a tight fight it might not move too much... If it's lose it will probably ride up quickly.

Sorry mate, missed your post!!

List of people attending (Quote and add your own name) Korben

BLOODY HELL!!!!! Busy is not the word!!! Never seen it like that... Even on the hottest day of last year it was not that busy!!!!

Giggidy!!

Not sure what it's like, but thought I would give it a try.

Option 3 mate... I never rode a bike in my life until my CBT... 5 days later I passed my DAS!!

Heard nothing but good things about it.... It ain't too cheap though.

Looks good Ant... Decided I am going to this!! http://www.classicbikeshows.com/showind ... 0814094635

Strange how we remember the day... Was 20th June for me... Remember every minute of it.

What time are you and Willow going to be down there mate?

Anyone out and about? Not sure what I am going to be doing... Gonna have a sift round the web and see what I can find..

No worries mate... It's really easy to get very very close, but that last mile people struggle with.... It all seems totally wrong as you get close. Narrow single lanes and stuff.

Congrats mate!!! Ride safe fella.. I got 8 minors... Only agreed with 3 of them, but I passed so didn't even argue.... In fact I questioned (After all signing had been done and I had appropriate pieces of paper in my hand) why he didn't fail me for one thing!!

Loads out there to choose from... Have a look at Givi. Best thing you can do is get down to your local dealer and look at them.

Would always go with the newer model... The bring new stuff out as they have improved their product... Has to be worth it. If you are unsure about fit or anything though, ask Knox.

Hi GOG I will be happy to meet you for the run in if you need it... I have various easy meeting points. If you need me, just let me know when and where and I will be there.
