Hemel is north-west of London, in west herts, I know casue I'm from that area.

I'm happy with my HG leathers, but I have to wear the smallest size in them, size 48.

That the one, buy the jacket, get trousers free?
Thats what i got, great value for £.

hemel is north of london.

the bike is reasonable, clutch going on it, fixing that this half term.

You do certainly slide on the road as well.

I've got some teknics which cost me about £25 second hand and I would not hesitate to get another set.

Well I know but you're not as likely to, there are lovely soft cars,curbs, street signs, lampposts, fences, walls etc to stop you :)
