I've been the same size for over 20 years, so the clobber collection is excessive. Add the motorcross stuff up as well and its silly.

2 textile jackets, both pretty good (one slightly tired Lookwell, one brand new Belstaff.
2 textile trousers- one fairly new Belstaff, one older Belstaff (retired as they lack hip armour, which i need now with my frail bones ![]() 1 leather suit- Frank Thomsa 2-piece 1 leather jacket- older Frank Thomas Hyper Sports, with shoulders like on Dynasty. Big yellow patches, earning me the nickname the Flying Binman 2 helmets- one nice Arai Condor, one rather worn out HJC ZF-8. 2 pairs of boots- one pair Sidi Vertebra 2s for the summer, one pair Vertebra 2 Tepor for the winter. Fantastic boots, i'm totally a Vertebra man. Gloves... Hmm. This is where it gets ridiculous. 1 pair of HG Pathan winter gloves, one pair of Richa Pathan rip-off winter gloves, 1 pair of useless Frank Thomas AquaRoo winter gloves. One pair Rhino waterproof all-season gloves. 1 pair Frank Thomas Strike summer gloves. 2 pairds of Akito summer gloves, more or less identical- from the TWO deal. So, 7 pairs. Plus 2 pairs of undergloves, one cold killers balaclava, 1 Oxford Snood, one Buff, one pair of Belstaff overtrousers, one pair of HG Tribal waterproofs. Most of that stuff's perfectly servicable too. Quite ridiculous ![]()

i've got a HJC helmet (crap)
a set of Hein Gericke 2 piece leathers (brill value for money) a set of Hein Gericke textiles and a Held underjacket (great) some noname boots and some Frank Thomas gloves (crap) the mrs is much more fashion conscious she has AGV TiTech Alpinestars Stella leathers Hein Gericke waterproof boots (recommended!) Couple of textile Richa jackets Richa leather gloves i'm gonna buy another helmet soon as i dropped mine off the back of the bike and it landed on concrete right on the crown, don't want to risk it.. i'll probably get a decent Arai when i get enough dough together, the HJC gives me a headache after a while and the visor mounts have snapped.. fortunately i'm not on the bike at the moment |
