thanks again been a great help!

cant wait to start!!
I would recomend getting a Textile jacket that has removeable linings, leather trousers, and a pair of waterproof over trousers. This visits all avenues. Gloves are difficult, but aget a pair that fit you, there are many out there, a waterproof set would be best, but they are a bit hot in the summer months. You WILL end up haveing a glove draw

Lids. Fit is the most important fit. It has to be right. Go to somewhere that knows what they are talking about. Cost wise, personaly any more than £250 is a waste of money, as all you are doing is buying features/brand name. You can get good cheap lids, for around £100. They all have to meet a standard. Fit is the main thing. Dont buy one, just because you like the design etc.

DAS, i payed £350 for mine.

Just go out there and have fun. Oh and welcome to the site.
