Don't know if this is the place to put this but am kinda hoping someone can help me...

In someone's wisdom (and probably my agreement after a few rolleyes ) I have been entered into an enduro comp on 22/23 Dec... 4 man team, hare and hounds start, only one bike for use... (relay)... Other team mates, 3 guys, between 5’ 10” and 6’3” – bike TM250

Tactics: yeah right – none: other than me to start (theory – not as cut up)

OK... in practice over the weekend in the worst conditions ever (which is a good thing - apparently). Me – 5’1” non-guy: cannot touch ground.... TM250 (to me anyway) is a big big heavy bike... I now hurt... I now hurt big stylie... lost count of amount of times I was spat off...

I need protection... guys offered loan of their own whilst not in comp but there is a slight difference in size and they don’t have boobs...

I have no time at all to go looking for suitable protection between now and race weekend and wondered if anyone knew any reputable on-line accessory places that would guarantee delivery within the next week or so? Have looked myself but I really do need a recommendation to ensure delivery...

Thanking you in advance and aplogies if not the right place for this... thumbup

oh and if anyone knows the correct way to dismount whilst going up hill if lack of weight forward is making not a shred of difference - advice welcome wink

You may have boobs - but you have more balls than me. good luck!
bow

try www.click2buybikegear.com

I've had 2 leather suits and a set of corduras. Next working day delivery if you need it.
Not sure if they do off road gear, although they do complete top half body armour, not sure how that fares with mammary glands... take a look!

If you don't want to fork out on expensive motorcycle armour you could get a set of skateboard elbow and knee pads from your local sports shop. But you do get what you pay for so depends how much you value your body!

I'm sure Knox do integral back/chest/shoulder& elbow protectors in a vest format designed for those with lady bumps and they have an on line store

Cheers... shall check them out... would prefer to have a "ladies fit" as opposed to improvising with blokes...
