That You have

£400 to spend on a Helmet

£1500 to spend on Leathers, Gloves, Boots and any other accessories you'd wish to wear (back protector, etc)

£1200 to spend on Insurance, breakdown cover and an alarm system

£12700 to spend on a bike

What would you buy?

Feel free to list the helmet and kit, providing companies, etc to prove your spend.. and prove your good taste and fashion sense...

Only thing is, you cannot list the bike as being one you currently own. Has to be something different!

You can always come back to this thread if you're bored or have time on your hands, something to do, not to mention a great source of links for some gucci kit that no doubt people will find on their travels!

I'll post my list up at the weekend when ive time spare.

Xtra Raptor

or possibly an MT01

gear?? whatever fits - but one o them there 500 squid really light carbon lids would be sooooo good for me neck.


didya do the recce yet K ? east or west tids?

Still got to go down and do the 'proper' recce. Boss went down but didnt give me the details in full, past saying 'one of the old camps in tidders'

Anyway, lid would either be an Arai or the top of the range HJC Carbon Number

Leathers either Alpinestars or Arlen Ness, with gloves to match.

Boots wise I think my Oxtars take some beating but they've changed their name and I don't know what the new ones are like, failing that I quite ,like the look of the Dianese ones which go under you leathers instead of over.

All pretty simple so far but I'm proper stuck on a bike. If it has to be just one bike for everything I can't think of anything better than the Falco. Best keep thinking about it.

OK, Kwackerz, here's how I'd spend your money:

Tiger Angel 'Lynx2 Sprint' 2-piece suit

Reevu MSX1 helmet

AlpineStar gloves
Whatever boots fit my feet and look good with the leathers / helmet / gloves

Benelli TnT Cafe Racer

Tasty, but you'd have to keep some money back for repairs when it dies on you

Lidl's everything.... except the bike....


and all in pink of course

This is so very far away from reality that I can't begin to imagine.

£1500 on clothing !!!!!

Well, got to make it interesting and challenging! Most ive come up for the Bike is this: http://www.benelliclubgb.net/images/for ... kwood2.jpg at £5395!!

Add to that I'd want a fulldream-machine respray at about £2000 and a full arrow system that'd probably hit another £2000 and probably £1500 getting the engine blueprinted and im not far off that figure I had set aside...!

Going to look at the leathers, etc at the weekend.. busy at the mo!

I like the AGV Ti-Tech.

Bike would be a 2 year old Pan and a CB500 for tracks.

Leathers is whatever will fit properly and well made, but in black, I really dislike the poncy coloured suits.

I've got a nice pair of Berick GS gloves, very tight fit sadly tho not waterproof, but the armour is nice for breaking car side windows ( ) Just to show my lack of taste though I have a set of handlebar muffs for when the weathers crap.

Even though I had my BM stolen last year, if I get a Pan I have a quote for £250 FC for a year that will cover 2 bikes. (Honda Insurance)

The reason I want the Pan is it'll be doing trips to Italy on a couple of occasions every year.

Think I'd go for another 1200GS as the bike. But for the rest - why spend £400 on a helmet when you can get an excellent one for £200. Ditto the leathers. And my insurance on the KTM costs me £135 fully comp so again that would leave money left over.

Where are the suspiciously precise numbers from Kwaks? have you just re-equipped yourself and this is what you've spent?

i was at the bike show this weekend , and sat on a honda pan euro, i would like it for a second bike ,new bike gear too,

Chance'd be a fine thing, Laz.

I just divided the amount of shags I imagine i'd have if I was married to Britney Spears by how many times I'd shag her sister and mum.. and bang.. figures to hand.

Absolutely random figures mate.

But if Britney is looking in, PM me... we need to talk..
