Well I have seen some boots and a helmet that I definitely like. I am looking for black leathers

These are the links for the boots and helmet, let me know what you think and they were definitely cheaper on line.

I would definitely have to try things on just to see how they fit. I tried quite a few things on today but they didn't have my size so it is hard to guage. Some people who walked past me as I was trying on jackets told me to go for a smaller size lol...

I bet your boys will love it, how old are they?? What colour are you respraying your bike? I bet you can't wait for it lol

I am not sure when I will pick it up it will depend on whoever wants to help me and their availability. I have a couple of people say they would ride it back for me so hopefully in the next couple of weeks ... tomorrow would be good lol...

Bet you are looking forward to Tues...

Yeah they do show up the muck, not that that bothers me lol. Mine gets cleaned very regularly, or at least it has done so far this year with the weather as it's been!

Because I did it, with rattle cans and a bit of 800 grit to give it key so the paint'd stick. Worked alright. Matches the rat-bike appearance of the rest of it lol
