whisky Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Best of luck chip, I couldn't actually afford a bike when I did my test. Had to wait a year before I got the R6. It was a pretty painful wait, you'll be able to ride away on yours. Just pace yourself to begin with, bad time of year for bikes, but you'll get some good winter riding/cleaning experience in over the next few months...

chipandpin Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 just been and bought all the gear - Caberg lid with double visor, Spidi all weather jacket with body armour, armoured RST trousers with Knox armour, alpinestars winter gloves and Dianese boots + a massively reduced Caberg lid for the missus - all for not much over £500 - also bought a knox back protector that straps onto your body which i thought was a £80 well invested.

SneakyMcC Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Nice move. Where di you get your gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipandpin Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Nice move. Where di you get your gear? [/ QUOTE ] The Rocket Centre, Whitebirk. The first shop i went to in Accrington was quite cheap but i dindn't find them all that helpfull - at the rocket centre though they were great, she had me walking round the shop for 15 minutes with the lid on to make sure it fitted, and she wasn't pushing me towards all the expensive gear which was refreshing! In fact almost everything I bought were sale items with some whopping reductions. I'd highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
