Having just bought my bike I need to get a new wardrobe as I think it'll look a bit odd with me dressed in bright one piece race suit, boots, sports gloves etc so I'll keep that for my sports bike. So I'm looking for some Triumph (or similar suitable) clobber, jacket 44 chest, trousers 34 waist and size 9 boots If anyones lost weight (I know none of us guys ever put any on so wouldn't insult you with that ;-) ) and has some bits to sell or can point me in the direction of some decent quality, reasonably priced stuff please give me a shout
J and s accessories have a wide range of gear there are outlets all over. I have bought most of my gear there. Less sporty!
The Triumph Factory outlet is worth keeping an eye on - you can often get a bargain there. I bought my Adventure jacket for £75.00 (RRP £245.00). No complaints so far.
Toffeeboy ? ex fireblade and BMW forum member and owner ?? have a triumph sports textile jacket somewhere will send details plus a nice touring IXIS ? suit worn once roughly your size.... Rob......aka Repsol Rob and RRob when I had my S1000rr....... !!
Hi Rob Good to hear from you!!!!!! Yes the same Toffeeboy, still members of both forums and this is an additional bike not a replacement, still have the BMW and still love it but a more sensible approach required for 2 up riding What are you riding these days, back on a Blade? Send me details of your clobber please. Thanks
No mate a GS and loving it...... did the 500 miler a few weeks back from Assen GP and felt perfect ! ill dig some pics out and post em tomorrow youll have first dibs.....
Thanks mate, I tried the GS but a bit too tall for me, tried the R nine T which I liked a lot but that boxer engine was just a bit too odd for me. How come you find yourself on the Triumph forum, have you been through one of these too
I'm just about to get a triple..... the GS isn't for me as like you said its a bit on the high side..... ! but a cracking bike for long distance though.
I've got this, if you're interested drop me a PM. Size 54 with removable liner and armour in shoulders and elbows with a pocket for back protector. Like new, never worn on bike. Great leather jacket, look cool on your bonny !
You'll get a good price for your GS as they hold their money, I did fancy one but couldn't get both feet flat on the floor so wasn't an option, I had a disastrous and very short ownership of a Pan for touring, it weighed more than my house and everytime I had to hold it up at lights etc I would grit my teeth in anticipation - not fun at all
It's probably similar to the new Newchurch jacket in spec. As I say like new, fits below the waist like a 3/4 length, zips down the sides, adjustable poppers at the bottom....nice. £125:00 inc any postage insured etc
