Ebay is my friend, I buy very little new, apart from boots.
If you're wearing black leather it doesn't matter much.

all bike & clothing related decisions made by us girls are are obviously geared around providing interest to male riders. hence the use of tight fitting leathers, sports bikes which have a 'bum in air' riding position, etc

I'm always colour coordinated - black Speed Triple, black leathers, black Shoei, black boots.

Oh and purple neckwarmer (a present) and iridium visor for a splash of colour.

I would like to think I'm a abit of a tart, but when you're as ugly as me, the best thing to wear is a black lid with a very dark visor...

Question, what came first, the bike or the leathers ?



See. I defo need that visor !
