What have you wanted and never bought?

[Viney]

Im talking about motorcycle aparel (Glove, jacket and such like)

What have you wanted and was in your means, but for some reason you have either changed your mind, or just havent got round to it?

I have always wanted a matching Textile jacket and Trousers for winter. Reason why it hasnt happened. I always buy bike stuff in the sale, or at shows and they have never had my sizes in either the jacket or trousers.

Also, i want a HID kit for the SV, but money stops me.

[plowsie]

Well i wanted a goretex copper jacket that i can buy, but couldnt be arsed with paying quite a price.

[Paws]

Arai rx7 :)

although come Jan i will finally own one :)

[Bluepete]

Sidi Vertigo Corsa waterproof boots. Never had anything worth more that about £50. Would love to own a really good pair!

[Biker Biggles]

I nearly always wear textiles for riding now,because leathers are too hot in summer and too cold/not waterproof in winter.Id like a set of fully ventilated/perforated leathers for summer,but never got round to buying them.

[mr.anderson]

Heated gloves. I suffer every morning and swear blind that I will buy a pair, but just never get round to actually doing it.

[Lozzo]

Proper thermal base layers.

Awesome lid, i got mine on sale worth the money, but i have closed most of the vents in the cold weather, I was getting a cold head!

Umm i have matching leathers for the bike, and textiles...thoughg i want gor tex trousers for next winter, i will get them!

As Lozzo said for under my leathers....when it wamrs up i plan to wear the leathers all the time, better protection.

Umm probally more gear for da track as well....thats the shopping list better get to work!

I have been like this for years. Could never justify the expense even though each winter I suffer more than the previous year. This year I couldn't bear it any more. Bought a pair. I know realise that I could not afford NOT to buy them. They are fantastic. Rode to work in what must easily have been -5 without taking into consideration the wind chill. My hands stayed warm throughout the entire journey. Buy them. Now.

I have alpinestar smx-4 they r ace and worth the money, i had some akito boots they fell less than 2500 miles crap, no point buying cheap gear unless its good stuff on sale etc

:mrgreen:

Me I have always wanted an alpinestars leather jacket*!! 8)

*but never enough to actually put my hand in my pocket an buy one!! :D

[Balky001]

Akropovic full system or a tailor made leather suit. I'd like both but not enough to pay the cash. Maybe a Scotoiler but couldn't be asked to fit one

[phil24_7]

Custom leathers, but I'm a tight wad!

[rob13]

Full textiles for winter, but dont ever buy them because I wonder whether £250 would be well spent on me buying them, seems as I really want another type of bike for winter.

Also an Arai Condor because my Shoei is only 2 years old!

LIAR!!!!

I bet you have those already ;)

[Biker Biggles]

Which one is you?:D

[ridelikeaturtle]

full-on crash bungs. But I think if I get a new-ish bike, I'll invest in a lot of crash bungs.

[Blue_SV650S]

After reading some of the other posts - it has reminded me of stuff I really wanted but never got ...

An Akra Evo full titanium race system and a pace race dradiator (for my old race bike) ... I never could justify spending the ~£3k that little lot would cost alone ...

Also always wanted a set of wavy discs coz they are cool!! ...

They are the money, they really are! I would put them on any bike I get now.

how do you connect it to the bike? is the wire not in the way?
I want a pair, but I'll need other things, so maybe i could buy that from them at the same time.:D:confused:

It comes with a battery connector which stays permanently connected to the bike. It has an in line fuse. I have the end of that poking out from the front of the seat. It also comes with a connector harness. a wire runs down the inside of the jacket and then plugs into the gloves. The other end of this harness connects into the end that comes from the battery.

Even if you forget to disconnect when getting off the bike, that doesn't really matter as the connector is an in line type and just push together. If you forget, it will just disconnect it's self as it gets taught.

Made to measure one piece leathers. Solely for weekend fun rides/track days. No way would I wear them for 'normal' riding/commuting. Am losing weight (v. slowly at this time of year) and once I reach my target I will have some made. Idea being, I'll never put the weight back on (well, not for many years), to ensure I can still fit into them.

[sv-robo]

always wanted a rewaco trike(the family 3 seater to take both my kids on the back)

but never got one cos at around 20grand a throw i simply can,t afford.

[seedy100]

Custom made leathers, all black, no speed hump, and a body to make them look good.
