For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

could always use the search function D-Rider


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Cobblers!
I had the velcro backed waist adjuster bit sewn back on my leather trousers at the local one on his big leather sewing machine. Wasn't pretty but it worked fine.

I've used Ninelives (Farnborough) and Mojo (Canterbury) - both excellent.

Heard only good things about Hill4leather (Aldershot) also
