  • dont know where you are but i got my leathers from J&S
  • Hein Gericke is ok.

    The NEC bike show will be good but it's £15 to get in!

    What sort of clothing do you want?

    You've got
    Busters Accessories
    The Fast One (MPS)
    M and P
    J & S Accessories.

    Though Mail order for clothing and especially helmets is not recommended unless you know what size you want.

    ^ Agree with Dave. M&P, and Busters are the main ones I use, and they have always been pretty good.

    There's JTS biker clothing factory shop in Coalville, Leicestershire. They have a website too. http://www.jtsbikerclothing.com/html/home.shtml
  • Most of mine came from J&S. Except the gloves. I genuinely cant fault the Aldi gloves (all through the winter last year) and only £13.99 ish.

    Got my stuff from my local Honda dealership. I also got some gloves/boots from M&P

    I noticed the gloves in Aldi, and if I was still on my bike I would have bought some.

    Local dealers for most of my kit. Boots from Altberg, Weisse waterproofs from Ebay.
  • My mate had a lot of good things to say about the Aldi/Lidl stuff. He used them for boots, gloves and jacket, and he's not complained much since last year :)

  • Thank you all

    Will check out all the recommended sites - for jacket, pants and boots.

    I'm in the Midlands and wanted to go to the NEC show last year but was away. End of Nov will be great timing this year so I'll get myself there!

    I hear it's best to go in the last day to try pick up a bargain.

    I bought my leather jeans at http://www.bikersparadise.co.uk/ in Coventry - they're pretty good, though not as protective as some of the top kit. I bought a weise jacket - again very happy with it - especially as I was able to add a back protector
