Recommend me.........
 
A pair of boots, a pair of gloves and a helmet to use for track days. Must be half decent quality but must also be cheap!!

Second hand is fine too though I would prefer it to match my red leathers!

But that's no fun Anna!! Besides, Lozzo doesn't lurk in there and he's a fountain of knowledge on these sorts of subjects!

I'm genuinely perplexed

I'm genuinely perplexed

Cuz whilst I don't plan on coming off, sods law dictates I will and I don't wanna ruin my decent and expensive road gear.

I have a set of red leathers that were given to me by my bro as he outgrew them (they are a decent and expensive set but I didn't pay a penny for em so it's all good) so I'm after a set of boots, gloves and a helmet to go with them.

I will also be buying a track bike soon (with a bit of luck) as I intend to do a few track days a year so it seems sensible to get track kit.

HTH

No see thatīs what they tell you but isīs simply NOT true.

.. have you checked out ebay to see if there is anything cheap and in your size??

OK fair enough re the helmet, but a spill won't always kill gloves or boots - I would put the money towards buying new road stuff & keep your retired stuff for the track then.
If you don't need road stuff I guess it's just a question of what you find second hand - I'm sure you know what's good.

Got a few things shortlisted but the cheap stuff is usually WELL used and I'd never buy a second hand lid.

My road gear is in good nick and I got a red set of leathers for the track, just wanna get a complete set of track stuff to not worry about.
