Re: Dr. Martens boots?

I've got a pair of bike boots and change them to my trainers when I get off the scooter, trainers take up no room in the storage on a scooter and more comfy to walk round in!

Re: what trousers do you wear?

I bought Cordura texpeed armoured lined overtrousers from http://www.bikeweardirect.co.uk/shop.html?page=shop.browse&category_id=534 and they are brilliant. I think you can find them on eBay too. I bought these and they are fantastic for the money! Fit great, lightweight (compared to other trou...

Re: what trousers do you wear?

I've just grabbed some GrinFactor kevlar jeans, including some knee & hip inserts. Not a bad deal, and it'll be easier for my short rides than proper trousers. I'll keep an eye out next summer in advance of Isle of Man TT next year and let you guys know if there's any good gear deals. I'm looki...

Re: what trousers do you wear?

Yes there is a zip that goes up 90 percent of each side and its velcroed and doesnt leak and Ive ridden in some big downpours. I dont actually use the zips as they fit over my work trousers fine without unzipping as I put my shoes or boots on after they are on. They are fully waterproof and if you ...

Re: what trousers do you wear?

cheers Taz, just a couple of questions.

It says they have a full length zip! does that mean it has a zip ALL up the leg?

what trousers do you wear?

I'm going to ride to work all through the year bar snow and ice so will need some protective clothing. I work in a shirt and trousers so they will have to go over the trousers, want waterproof, armoured and shortarsed legged! Any recommendations? Cheaper the better ;)

Re: Rode the PCX125. Bought the 150

I like the riding experience. There is a strange freedom from thought riding a low powered, super light automatic. Floor it and follow the road. Simple. Relaxing. No decisions about what gear to use or how fast to go. I have heard mountain bikers say the same thing after switching to a single speed...
