Last time I went up to a Soho meet, there was a bloke on a Ducati Monster wearing a suit, open faced lid and no gloves!
His girlfriend was on the back in high heals and an open faced lid as well.
Made me smile and cringe at the same time

Primark £6 ones are cheap enough to replace as soon as they get scuffed/fade/stained. Fit isn't at all bad either. The £4 ones are nasty though, steer clear.

Lol I knew I was a plonker when I turned up to do my CBT in full gear, hadn't realized I'd be in a car park that had the sun beating down on it all day Switched to jeans in the afternoon though, leathers were just too much.
