LOL I thought of you last night when speaking to my Manc cousin. I asked him how he was faring in the lock down; he said he’d been off work so long he was starting to develop a scouse accent

Reminds me of the old 70s Premier lids. Trè retro.

Re: New riding kit, what have you bought lately and why?
My very old Daytona boots were dying (holes in the soles) and managed to find a mint, hardly worn pair, exactly the same, even down to the colour, on eBay and paid £130 for them vice £500 new. RESULT!

Bought some 100% goggles to match. Been out twice this week and they just feel so good together.
Not usually a bling person, but they do feel nice.

Yeah I got some Hipster brown gloves the other year, but it's not spread to the rest of me yet. Probably the only cool part of meKungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 5:26 pm Arma Retoro Gloves in brown....

Re: New riding kit, what have you bought lately and why?
I still don't know if they're waterproof. I haven't even worn them on the bike.Druid wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 1:19 pm Textile trousers.
My last pair were HG and probably 20 years old. I got caught in the rain a little while ago and got a wet crotch within 10 minutes so I thought it was about time I got some new ones. I don't ride in the rain as a rule so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on big name brands so I got a pair of these off ebay.
They fit ok, have a detachable lining and armour on the knees and hips. I have no idea if they're waterproof of not
I have bought some summer gloves though, because my last pair were falling apart
Fit well, look quite well made and seem good value at £35

Fits perfectly, looks great !!!! Most happy.
Especially as it was even cheaper from the big bike shop in Swindon.

I scored a pair of used Daytona Roadstar GTX boots off the evil bay for 80 quid.
In good nick and comfy as old slippers.

Damn! I was on eBay looking at those boots - spooky! eBay is great for bike kit; there are some proper bargains if you keep a sharp eye out.

The boots were sold by the red cross,so I was happy with where the money went too.
