Default Expensive afternoon.

Well I bit the bullet and got a set of leathers this afternoon.
I popped into Alpha motorcycles to see if they had any in my size as im a big fella and they did.

I had a choice between a 2 piece or a suit £550 or £400.
I was a bit shocked they had some so I got the 2 piece (would be the dear set lol)
They are Alpinestars in black so well happy

Two piece is much more practical for street riding.
You won't regret it.


Remind the Mrs. those leathers could be well be the difference between coming home without a scratch or a flight to the A&E.
(it probably won't work but if you sound really convincing she might slack up a bit)

At least you did it the right way round, Do / Buy / Sell / Drink something first, tell the missus later! My guide to marital bliss!
