Too good to be true (lthr jacket pricing)
I have been toying with the idea of buying a new jacket and one under consideration is the Furygan Vince Banshee (what a name). I generally use Sportbikeshop because their prices are good and they are close, they sell this jacket for £426. Then I found this:
http://www.tigh-a-ghlinne.co.uk/fury...bom-p-434.html They list the price at £104 - what am I missing here? |

That website is dodgier than a £4 note. The confirmation is in the fact it has no security when you come to checkout.

If something looks too good to be true then it usually is
I would very much doubt that the jacket is genuine

Re: Too good to be true (lthr jacket pricing)
i would recommend Scott Leathers. British made and good quality leather not cheep nasty leather that most high street brand names are. a fair few of the IOM TT racers use them. they are based in Barnard Castle and will do alteration and full MTM for not much more.

Re: Too good to be true (lthr jacket pricing)
No contact details either, apart from email. Always a bad sign.
Interesting that they have 712 of those jackets in stock. |
