High safety (yet as comfy as possible) jeans

Lots of bicycle shops do better deals online on their own website than in the showroom. Boils my p***

I asked SBS to price match a Neotec 2 and Cardo head unit to Infinity Motorcycles as it was £20 cheaper, but they wouldn't as the helmet was a different colour (I said I didn't care about colour so they could pick but it wasn't like-for-like).
But apart from that, I always buy from SBS, staff are friendly and after sales is fab

How much did you pay for your Roadskin’s Timangus?

They’ve got an offer on at the moment, £179.99 and they throw in a set of gloves worth £49.99.

I’m contemplating taking the plunge.👍

I negotiated a bit off, as I didn’t need the gloves. They looked good though and well worth the asking price for both. They are cheaper as they only sell direct so don’t have a retail mark up for shops. They use a company in Germany for the armour, so its all EU certified.

The two pairs of gloves I use for touring are looking very sad now……and they’ve got ‘Honda’ written on them.😱

I think I’ll wait until I’ve had a few beers over the weekend, then go shopping whilst still under the influence…..seems less painful that way.😉

Expensive but John Doe Full Aramid are as comfortable as you will get.
I need another pair as the denim has worn through on the Donkey after 6 years of never taking them off.
Highly recommended as they don't look bike specific, they look like normal jeans

Phil, take a trip to Last Years Gear in Bridgwater.

They might have something suitable and even if they don't it's always worth checking out the bargains.

I’ve not heard of them before Neil.

I’ll try and get there before Christmas.👍

My son got a great deal when he renewed his riding gear from Motorcycle Megastore in their big twice a year sale. He paid £179 for a set of Spidi textiles. The trousers alone were £299 in Sports Bike Shop at the time. I looked for some jeans, but none left in my size.🤷‍♂️
