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!

have a look in the riding gear section and see if there is anything in there that helps..

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!

Why not just use your road kit???

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.

No see that´s what they tell you but is´s 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.
