Hemel is north-west of London, in west herts, I know casue I'm from that area.

I'm happy with my HG leathers, but I have to wear the smallest size in them, size 48.

You do certainly slide on the road as well.

I've got some teknics which cost me about £25 second hand and I would not hesitate to get another set.
