Aplogies for dragging this thread from the deep. Insurance case still ongoing. Been offered 50/50 but not accepting that. Anyways, its become apparant that my hand/ wrist has some lasting damage which means anything over 30 mins on a sportsbike is agony. So current plan is to look at something more ...

I've just got a set of RST Blade jacket and trousers from J&S Plymouth (also got matching gloves)

Early days but I'm impressed so far. Jacket and trousers came in at £230.

Top service from J&S, no hard sell but there if you need help and advice.

Well, I've ordered a helmet- AGV Horizon. Its from Sportbikeshop.com so has free returns if it doesnt fit or I don't like. I have dealt with them before and they are really good. I'm favouring the RST stuff at the moment. What is the sizing like?? I'm an XL in my current damaged Alpinestars jacket, ...

Well, fully back into biking mode after my off at the end of last year. Noticed I feel the cold more now on the commute to work so am looking for some 2 piece textiles. Budget of around £200 and they must zip together. Currently looking at RST, Spada or Weise (i know Weise get good reports on here)....

Update on this, hand has healed ok and now, after 6 sessions of physio should be ready to ride again. Indicator fitted and bike is booked in for MOT next friday so all being well, should be back on the road next weekend. Looks like I've missed the worst of the weather as well which is a bonus!! Insu...

Update on this. Got the bike back. Have ordered an indicator. That should be all thats needed to get it back on the road (needs MOT so that should pick up anything serious damage that I cant see) Got the insurance estimate invoice, all 3 pages of it......................£3081 to fix. Every single ma...

Thanks for the replies. Frame and forks are fine, only issue is cosmetics. Top fairing, side fairing, seat unit are scratched. Both mirrors lightly scratched, engine casing scratched and needs 2 indicators. Will I have issues insuring it as cat d and will I need an engineers report? Only other issue...

I was involved in an accident at the end of last year. I won't go into details but I was knocked off. Damage to bike was the usual sports bike damage (scraped fairings etc, bike was CBR600RR5) Insurance have assessed it and have come back as uneconomical repair, bike written off (cat D). They have o...

Loving Haydens cammo leathers!!

Usually pops up on motors tv or one of the eurosport channels

If the price is right, and the work doesn't put you off, go for it.

Quite a few on ebay with quite high miles (40k+) and they are up for decent money.

Also a lot of sections on the A377 have been resurfaced with loose gravel/ shingle.

Summer glove recommendations please...... Need a pair of summer gloves. In the old pre mortgage days I'd think nothing of going out and dropping £200 on a pair of Alpinestars finest, those days are long gone and budget is now about £60. Current favourites are RST Tracktechs or Spada Predators. Anyon...

Pics of new bike....?

Got a few goodies coming for it first!!! Really shouldn't be spending much on it as its a daily, not a weekend toy.

Cheers Badger.

Just to add, bike was making a lot of noise from chain/ sprocket area last week. Took it back to North Cornwall Motorcycles who fitted new chain and sprockets free of charge, no questions asked! Top customer service.
