It seems there is very little out there....i am probably just paranoid that my shoe laces will disappear into the chain :)

Therefore i just bought a "shifter skinz" from fleabay:

If nothing else itleast it will secure my laces:)....oh and its yellow!

You see alot of pasty teenagers with dyed black hair and badly applied black eyeliner wearing leather trench coats walking about Camden in these. Anything you want to own up to? :D

Just go to www.rideicon.com to see what they do - even do stuff for the ladies (got the wife a nice new set of riding gear)

Only problem is that only Hein Gerrick do any of their stuff in the UK, and from speaking to Paws, they have last years stock/styles :)

Got a great deal on this stuff at a shop/dealers in the US, one jacket - this one - retails at $600, best internet price was $520, I got it for $500 :)http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/photos/OG/g23967.jpg

Maybe 10 to 15 years ago.....................

I DO have a rather nice long (ankle length) leather coat however - made by the same person that made my leathers tho so maybe Camden here I come............

:P

I have some of these (http://www.xpdboots.com/jspxpd/products.jsp?id=17&name=XJ%20H2OUT)that I use for the warmer weather.

Ankle pads take a bit of breaking in, but other than that they are pretty good, handy for poppong down the shops/into town when wearing jeans etc.

I guess loosing a couple of toesand having a year of pain from it (and that's threw proper motorcycle boots) gives me a different perspective on this stuff, I realised answering another thread I've a pair of those Kevlar Biker jeans that I've never worn, thinking about it for the same reason.

Although better than normal trainers, nowhere near the protection of boots, given the same accident, I'd have probably lost half a foot in them:shock:

Cheers Mark.

I had Joe rocket atomic's for a few years.

Good fit and really good in the summer on hot days. I could wear them in the office with few people noticing, but this really depends on the type of office it is.

I'd rather take a little time when "just popping out....(wherever)" than take chances.
