The GP pros see in your budget and they are awesome. Came off at 70ish Saturday and you can only just see the damage.

Been looking at these. Gonna go and try some on at weekend.

Only other option I've been recommended is Knox Biomech. Told to avoid the Handroid ones as they break all the plastic bits off in a crash.

I've been using Alpinestars SP1 & 3's for the last 7-8 years. My SP1's took loads of spills before the scrutineers pulled me on a bit of stitching and confiscated them

[sprinter1050]

Me & the wiff both have SP1s (not matching )bought in 2007. Comfy fit, wearing well & still look good.

Not crash tested - hopefully never!

£13.95 (inc P&P)

I hope I never fall off. Or go out in the rain. Or it gets too cold.

What could possibly go wrong?

I have had my Alpinestar SPXs for almost 2 years now, crashed in them a few times including a big one. Probably replace them with exactly the same when I do, great gloves.

Tbh I was going to ask the same question soon when I get some fitted.

At least your ok that's the main thing.

Till they feel right

Seriously just be a bit gentle & you'll feel them settle in as you ride. It's more heat cycles than scrubbing that matters I think, so a few rides & your good to go.

Look closely and you can just see some scuffs on the right hand side of the bike from where I had lowsided it that morning and broke 2 ribs.

What are those new Michelin's like on track ?

[srob]

How cool is this?!

[Biker's Nemesis]

had a day motor crossing with Aky and his son who's competing in the British National championship.

I have to say its not funny having your arse kicked off a 10 year old especially when he keeps asking you to go back out so he can "do you again"

[SAS Tom]

The DR near Dunoon last year. Stolen yesterday, gutted.

Not usually a lover of supermoto - just doesn't look right with those tiny wheels and road tyres - and seeing that I'm still not!

Each to there own I guess. Not everyone loves my ZX9, apparently...
