Guest Nickki Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 yeah right!!Have you noticed though, even specific ladies leathers never have big enough bump spaces Quote
Guest Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 yeah right!!Have you noticed though, even specific ladies leathers never have big enough bump spaces I hadn't no, but i'll keep a look out now Quote
Guest Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 i'd have to buy a simpson outlaw helmet but i'd still use my old leathers i got from rufforth for£20 they saved me once and are well enough to do it again! BARGAIN might get them adjusted though Quote
Guest Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I have mine already see below I love my helmet and leathers...RX-7 helmet with balck visor and Dianese Leathers, Sidi Boots..my gloves are pants http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9273/andy3mm1.jpg Quote
Guest Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I've always had a notion for a very plain custom made one piece leather suit in red don't know why red, can just 'see' it in my head. No other coloured flashes or anything on it, just plain old red.other than that, some Dainese in black/dark grey would be lovely. helmet - a plain black Arai would be nice - but I do like my current lid which is a plain black AGV airtech, nothing fancy, but I like it.

Guest Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Can't find the damn massive smilie about 'this thread is useless without pictures'!!!Evening_all is the only one with the idea, and thats only beacuse he's a picture whore like myself Pictures people, pictures! Quote
Guest nigelf Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I've always had a notion for a very plain custom made one piece leather suit in red don't know why red, can just 'see' it in my head. No other coloured flashes or anything on it, just plain old red. I saw two ladies turn up at the Ace Cafe in "red Leathers" both on ducati's (red of course) trouble was they looked fabulous and knew it. Still nice to look at,. the bikes wernt that bad either.

rennie Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I posted this before but I think it was on the other site, I've never been into leathers, always been a jeans and jacket man. Anyway last year I bought my first ever set of 2 piece leathers, Red, Black and White to match the bike. I struggled for half an hour, upstairs, to get them on, creaked down the stairs and went into the lounge to show the kids, they rolled about the floor laughing saying I was the red power- ranger!!! I've never worn them since. Quote
Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I got an Alpinestars GP1 one-piece race suit in Black and gun-metal grey with white flashes and Motrax teardrop titanium sliders....nice!Some Sidi Vetebra boots and a crappy Nitro helmet and Riossi gloves.The Helmet and gloves are up for re-newal soon!Hey, Drew......Are they new sliders or are you a bit of a girl in the corners????? Seriously though, nice bike!!!! Quote
Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 here is mine, hiene gericke leathers ,x lite lid, alpinstar boots and a £140 pair of gloves that never keep me hands warm lolwouldnt change them for anything else!!http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k116/vonstig/DSC00317.jpg Quote
Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Bloody hell alex......that BBQ needs a good clean! Nice colour coding m8, and I like the belly pan!! Quote
Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 pmsl!! that bbq is going to the dump, just need to pinch a van from work. the belly pan is now the same colour as the plastics with some nice honda stickers on. Quote
Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 The best you can efford..... I would rather have decent riding gear and a cheaper bike......There is nothing worse than seeing some one out on a £5k plus bike with a cheap helmet on which you wouldnt even nut a wall with and no leathers and gloves that are as affective as a pair of marigolds.For me its a Made to measure suit by Speedsport Hull (PWR) with a knox backprotector, Shoei X-Sprit, Alpinestar Boots and Pro gloves.As the old saying goes.... Value you head value your helmet.Not sounding glum but chances are your going to need it at some point. Quote
Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 As I had to get most of my kit while learning I went pretty cheap I hate to say. Although good quality leathers RST Cruz I would like to change for a 2 piece Dainese Vulcan. Helmet is a Nitro, and again would like to change to and Arai, not sure which one without trying some on. Weise boots are pretty much knackered after only 7k miles. Velcro loose and now vertually slip off. Def next purchase along with helmet. New Buffalo gloves for Christmas, comfy but a little cold without inserts at the moment.Oh to win the lottery, along with all new kit I`d have me a 1250SA Bandit. Quote

Guest Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I would head straight down to Crowtree for a fitting and nice design.Infact i may be doing that soon getting bored of me HG hard edge racing suit Quote
Rich748 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 You can't beat palin black leathers... Mine are an Arlen Ness 2 piece in plain black and have the added bonus of making my shoulders look big and stomach look small! Having crashed in them I won't ever crash in less than Ness again. Plain black aplinestar boots and AGV lid finish off the dark look - with only the black and silver ness gloves to brighten me up! Quote
