Recommend Me some leathers.

This thread has given me plenty of food for thought. Cheers Loz for our invaluable input.

Regards

Thought as much

Looks an absolute bargain.

For a Condor? Jeez... I paid £200 for my Astro R. Something like £170 for my Condor, but then that was nearly 5 years ago.

it was a saint george model, HG had the plain models in for £199

Search online, I've seen plain colour Condors advertised for £170

Bought my new PSX II 2-piece leather suit today from Hooters (the user, NOT the resatuarant!) off here.

Fantastic customer service and of course, a fantastic offer from HG!

Thanks Charli

Now did you take any pictures if so can I see them please

Getting back to leathers I got a pair of Teknic one piece leathers, just waiting for them to come now in the post. I don't really any ofgear heavy to wear, but when you have carry it about then it is.

My two piece leathers are the HG pro sports ones, I find them very comfy and they fit like a second skin, I actually prefer wearing leather to textile but its just a bit cold now for that! I#ll stick to my gortex gear.

Lozzo, what's your opinion on the MJK off the peg stuff. Also you mention having to go to Holland to get the custom ones made. I was under the impression you could get measured by their man here and then they made them in Holland and shipped them over? Not really a problem for me if you do have to go over as I have mates/family in different bits of Holland.

I'll probably go for HG stuff now and replace with MJK customs when I can afford to. I had started saving for customs, but ended up having to spend that cash on some things the bike needed.
