Schweet.

As for looking slow, hell, I wouldn't know. You are, however, one of the
few people I know who make a Gixxer thou look lardy.

It's a fucking ancient lardy sports-tourer, everyone knows that. It has
to be said that I looked even more ridiculous on the ZZRs.

 

Cane says...

Thank you. It looks even better when enlarged :

Are those the leathers you're "testing" for Nitro?

That is my sample suit, ordered off the peg a few weeks ago. I have to
wear something when I take the bike to see customers and it'd be unPC
to turn up in MJKs, wouldn't it? It's dead comfy and fits as well as a
M2M on me. The helmet and gloves are also booked to me as samples. I
would have worn Nitro NB40 boots, but someone stole one from my car and
I don't think the organisers of the trackday would have let me out with
just one boot on.

 

The leathers look good, how much do they retail at? I would ask how they
compare to the MJK's, but realise this may be politically a difficult
quetsion for you to answer in a public forum. Also, how durable is the matt
black finish on the lid, I looked at matt finish HJC's a while back and
wasn't too keen, but as I intend replacing my old AC-10 later this year I
could be interested, as the one you showed me at the last pixiefest was good
quality kit (to my untrained eye, at least).

WRT boots, I have now relegated my gay red HG's to the corner, as James'
redundant Daytonas are so much more comfortable.

I'll answer in an email, for fear of being accused of openly spamming
the ng.

 

Heh

Very good!

Have you noticed that you're quite thin?

Also: Helmet - matte black. Do squashed flys buff out of it easily?

 

Like so much in life, eh?

;-)

 

BGN says...

I'm not thin, I'm about average build for my height.

I don't know, I never clean it. I leave it in the garden for the insect
population to feast upon.

 

heh....liar.

Applies equally to women too

 

porl says...

OK, got me bang to rights. I could never look slow.

 

Enjoying the snow?

 

That's the best of the bunch, as far as the limited judgement one can
make from a still photo.

The others all look ok, but a bit "sat on top of the bike" - I reckon
Loz still needs to hang off more.

 

No snow here pal.

 

Is it nice, then? Or is it shit, like we all warned you?

 

It's fucking awesome at the moment. Only been here a week mind.
