Hi All

I have recently purchased my first bike (bandit mk1) which need some work doing to it (if anyone knows of any mk1 carbs going anywhere pm me) ta

Any way back to the post...sounds tight but i am looking to get some trousers, top and gloves for cheapish. I would prefer leather just because of the look tbh! Anyone recommend any lower market gear brand?

Cheers chappies and chappets!

ebay mate..

I picked up some Hein Geriicke leathers for £40. RRP new £400 odd.

Agreed. You don't need to buy new mate. Leathers can be ridiculously expensive new.

Silvermans is good for non designer rugged stuff, cheapish.

I can't imagine ever being comfortable in second hand trousers. There isn't enough fabreeze in the whole world.

in all honesty, i plan to replace the trousers as soon as i find a decent pair. the thought of all those farts is generally upsetting!

i second the ebay vote...went one better and paid £40 for a full set of hein gericke leathers..bought for a pillion and never used

If you want new mate try these, Richa stuff is good, believe me I have a good deal of it and I`ve had these trousers now for about 4 years and still going strong.

Check out their whole site, they do a package helmet, gloves, boots, jacket and trousers for £299. You cannot get better than that.
