I was going to go for them but ended up going for the a*s octane suit for similar money.

Not as bad as doing a trackday the day after you've had a good curry night. First thing you do is check out where the bogs are and choose a garage close by, second thing is find a good mate who'll pull your leathers off your shoulders in a hurry, third thing is learn to run to the bogs without tripping up on flailing leathers

Oh I dunno, when I was manager of Gericke in Harrow I had 2 of the Sugababes running round my shop in their bras and knickers looking for leathers to wear in a photoshoot - neither me or any of my staff complained.

It's all about the shoulderblade motion. close and contourt you shoulders and slip the arms off. I always get the armour stuck over my knees and deck it hilariously. I find them reassuringly heavy actually. Don't feel it when they're on though.

So, I'll be off to try/pick up some leathers tomorrow...the advice is to get them a little tight is it, as they'll stretch/give over time?
