With my new motorbike arriving in the next 3 weeks, I need to find a new jacket.
I know there's a Hein Gericke shop on the Oxford Rd in Reading, but does anyone else have any recommendations for places to go? Somewhere with decent range and stock, and within 30 miles from Reading?

Still got my full leathers (haven't grown in 8 years, must eat more piessmile) and have some fabric type trousers but i'm looking for a decent waterproof fabic jacket which still looks good. Any recommendations?

Cheers

Honda in Farnham is great, plus you should be able to get a decent deal there too with some haggling. Managed to get some stonking gear in there a few weeks ago.

Infinity in Farnborough (well, North Camp) has plenty of range of all sorts of kit. 100yds up the road is another bike clothing/lids/boots shop, and 1/2 a mile away is Racing Green biggrin

Its now called..... The Motorbike Shop, lots of thought must of gone into that, although, Infinity still do the clothing section I believe, and theres a Hein Gerik just down the road as well, might find a deal in eaither.

Or if you fancy a nice ride theres Haslemere motorcycles in Whitehill, Bordon, great bunch of chaps in there, not the biggest clothing selection though.

Thanks guys, looks like a ride down towards Farnborough and then on towards Haslemere if I don't find anything suitable.
Note to self, if you ride down, you can't carry stuff back!banghead
