why not, I just spent 90 quid on a set of fairings. That'll do rather nice. 300 quid on yer bike eh......try two and a half grand! and she still don't flippin go. I will beat her, I will!!!!
Joking aside, if the jacket is required and you need one, get it, I needed a new jacket a couple of years back, as my leather one got a rather good beating from sideways rain for 500 miles, which pretty much rendered it useless. I spent 190 on my textile one which had 50 quid off, and got my textile pants too cheaper than full price, very expensive stuff but they were well worth the money, and have paid their way fifty million times over
