    Leathers

    Hi This might seem a silly Q to those that know but where do you buy Leather/Kevlar Speedway suits. To make things harder I would prefer leathers over Kevlar and to buy second hand plus I'm 6ft with a inside leg of 33" so quite lanky? Would attending track days be a good idea to pick up leather, boots and bikes and stuff like that? Thanks for any help

  4. Hi Guys, Apologies if I have place this in the wrong place? I’m hoping for a bit of advice here as I’m quite out of date. Within the next couple of months I would like to buy a bike. At the moment I have it in my head I will spend about £1000 for a bike and hoping I would get some spares included. Is this realistic sum or am I completely off track? Where’s the best place to look for a second hand bike? Is it just a case of keeping an eye open on various track days? I have seen this one “Item number: 270995609286” on eBay. Looks like just what I’m after but not sure if it’s a good price? I would like something with a laydown engine instead of what I previously used or will that be out of my budget? Are Weslake engined bike’s still used on the training tracks? Here’s a funny question for you. I see riders using Kevlar’s and body armour now; does this mean no one use’s leather’s anymore? I know some of these questions are like asking “how long is a piece of string” so any advice would be great just to get me thinking in the right direction. What I don’t want to hear is “Your too old don’t bother” I’m sensitive you will hurt my feeling. Thanks
