They are decent leathers, had mine 4 years and have been really good. Much better built than my astar track leathers
I bought them off a mate who races, I got them for a steal £350 so I couldn't say no really.

A picture of my cherished Moto Guzzi V50 this morning.

It vanished overnight so all I have left is the keys, V5 and oily patch on the drive. frown

Here's a video of it in action note the unusual black exhaust - Reg TMM126Y - in case anyone comes across it please pm me.

Dad maxing out the Bantam today, probably going to jinx it now but apart from spark plugs (and the wheel resto we opted to do) , we havent had to touch the bike mechanically in the 3 years Dad has owned it..

Had a bloody lovely weekend down south, 20 degrees and sunny all weekend so tried to do some bike related stuff.

Took a new fireblade SP out yesterday, really good bike, also got to try my new leathers and was treated to some good scenery and roads, a good day:


Then today went to watch a local big grasstrack meeting with my old man. He used to race grasstrack back in the day and bumped into quite a few people he knew, one of his mates who is 70 was racing in the 1000 sidecars with a 72 year old passenger and they won at least one of their heats before we left. A good couple of thousand plus there spectating, another good day!

You weren’t up on the Ridgeway in Oxfordshire a few months back were you?

If it was, I was up there in a professional capacity and came and had a chat, you’d gone off-road to get a few photos.

May not have been you, but it was the same dual bike, same colour combination.

Because I'm really anal :P

With hindsight, what I probably shouldn't have done is specified that the front of them is all fluo yellow because every single insect splat stains like a bh frown

Was that in manchester on Saturday or Sunday?! The book case looks familiar, along with curtains, and i was pushing the lad past as i saw people rolling a bike into the pub.. But only saw the back of it.

So, over the weekend I put a deposit down on one of these bounce

I have been after something sportier / fun for a while now and have kept on changing my mind a fair bit, but then I found Wheels Motorcycles in Peterborough offering them £5k below list, it was too tempting.

I know that the rumours are that the 2019 RF will be 1100cc and circa 220bhp to take on the Ducati V4 and that we are in for snowmageddon from next week, but hey, you only live once.

I will post some actual pictures once I pick it up, hopefully in a couple of weeks time.
