Is that the driver standing there with hand on hip? She reminds me of a big game hunter posing with their kill.

Dainese 2 piece imo

Shock protection not just CE!

Without doubt Arai and Dainese helped why I am here still.

Image and heroics don't come into it really. This is non fault with witnesses, look where the car is, head on.

Several operations later, still riding including this bike. A worse but similar one occurred 5 years prior. Out of sheer pig headedness I rebuilt it when there were very few about, and still have one and a loft full of spares haha.

Find the money and buy better quality wherever possible, it helps. Leathers aren't just for track, but also don't make you invincible, just safer.

Ouch. Glad you're ok.

We're they turning unexpectedly into a driveway?

In light of current political events, I've decided to change my order for a set of leathers to better fit the world we now live in... biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

As others have said, use the show/s to try stuff on, know your sizes and look for bargains.

I spotted a very nice Dainese Racing Pelle jacket in my size for £138 new in an Amazon sale and picked up a matching pair of very good secondhand Dainese armoured trousers on Gumtree for £75. Amazon also had Dainese Airframe jackets for £108, ideal for hotter weather.
