I must be getting too old.
I've been looking round for some new riding gear and everything on offer (in the UK at least) makes you look like a tart.
Isn't there a market for some gear that's a little bit more tasteful?
Maybe it's just me.............

The first one is tempting, but I reckon the nettles may cause a problem?

I'm also coming up for some kit going to find Alan Wright ,I believe he sells sensible stuff at sensible prices.

Thanks, Chewy, I'll give him a look.

How do you get on with your Evo 200?
I'm finding a 250 is too much and a 125 is not quite enough (Gas Gas both).
I had a Beta Techno but didn't like the left sided kick starter much.
Maybe a 200 is easier to kick over with my gammy left leg.
.
Thanks.

I too tried the Borat mankini,but the colour clashed badly with my wig - and my false boobies kept falling out.

Absolutly loving it.. This is the first one I.ve had with the Keihin carb and it really is a differnt bike compared to the mikuni days. It runs clean and consistently it pulls me (fat &astard) up big hills in 4th... So far (6 weeks) it's a pleasure to own. I tried to have a go on a 290 which is really nice bike to ride but could'nt kick it over.....a real mans bike for sure. Ps If you get to Wrighty before me tell him to take plenty to SSDT..if he can negotiate some space to sell from if he can't perhaps he will advertise on here ..it's the perfeck media for him.
