Does the Ride Mag have a website with all its recommended kit?

Cheers

Not that I could find, but if you email them they will send you a nice spreadsheet with all their recommended buys on it

failing that I have a november copy here. Tell me what your after and Ill tell you what they recomend.

[Robbo SPS]

No website for Ride, or any EMAP magazines.

Talking of rides, my ride home tonight was the scariest ever. Gail force winds on the M275 in Portsmouth sent me across 3 lanes, just keeping her up-right.

Never ever ride in those conditions again.

[d3ano]

Well i was after the following:
(was going to try and find them at the NEC bike show)
Shooping list:
boots that are waterproof
New gloves
jeans, jacket or 2 piece leathers
reasonbly cheap helmet (was looking at the NitroN610V)

Many Thanks

D3

The best all in one a few years back was the Weise all in one, £40 from M&P.

I found a really good glove at J&S. They are Buffalo, and cost £40. Have lasted 1 crash and many down poars. Still good and comfy.

[d3ano]

[Robbo SPS]
