What leathers?

[AMCQ46]

agree, the bike still wins .............unless there are helecopters out!

I have also never fancied Alpine Stars or Dainese etc as although they look nice, they are really expensive and I always wonder how much of that cash is paying for the brand. They are like the Mini of the car world....where you are in effect buying the equivalent of a cheap small car with a low spec for twice the price, just because it has the mini badge.

Oi! I wear Dainese, A-Star and drive a Mini .... All paid for with the money I save by keeping the storm for 10yrs

Haha

Each to their own mate...

As for Minis...I didnt know you had one of those, but you're quite tall, do you fit in it alright?

I'm 6f4" and it was a right laugh getting in and out of my old mini but once I was in it was fun to drive I was my own roll cage knees by my ears and all that the most fun car I've ever had lol


Can't ride but it don't stop me trying

Yeah I dont disagree, on a nice road, in a nice car, with no traffic, it is brilliant. 0-60 in under 5 seconds and the boost kicking in at 4k and nailing you back into your seat was a good laugh.

But...how often are you out in the car, or even on the bike, on nice roads, with no traffic? Not stuck behind someone, not having to overtake every few minutes?

I think it has got even worse since fuel has become so expensive, everyone is driving at 40 nowadays. Best you can hope for it to get stuck behind someone doing 55.

Nice set of new RST leathers from Seastar nr Norwich - popped over today. Very friendly dealership and got the two piece for £249 -

Result...

Which ones did you get? The Fusion ones?

I would drive a car for pleasure, but only to go and get some.

Two piece is more practical sometimes, but always make sure that the zip is full length (3/4) and compatible one to the other.

Never looks comfy walking round at a track day or race meet with the top half hanging off......

That's because it's not...especially when the bit between your legs crushes your nuts as you walk.

But at least you can stand up and do the "Rossi butt crack clutch" as you first set off.
Looks very professional, more so than leg dangling, IMHO
