...I decided to write this as I recently became a motorcycle enthusiast. I needed to buy things... I already had a decent helmet, gloves and boots but I needed a more winter orientated jacket. So I went shopping.
High street.
First there are high street motorcycle accessory stores. They tend to be very limited in motorcycle jackets... I wanted leather and not textile and found it difficult to find one. The second store I found was particularly useless as the cheapest jacket (although incredibly stylish) was 299 pounds and quite simply, I don'thave that sort of money.
Motorcycle dealers
Slightly cheaper and much more choice, I found. The bigger and more well known the store the better the range. Although most jackets I found were either two piece or brightly coloured (Not what I was looking for) and again the prices didn't vary...

Advantages: Solid Protection Disadvantages: Can be bulky
...After 30 Years of riding a motorcycle and after being involved in a few bumps and scrapes I thought I would give you my experience of different clothing available to ensure your safety whilst riding a motorcycle. I myself ride the higher cc motorcycles but these apply to all motorcycles not just the big ones. The correct clothing can and will save your skin and life.

Advantages: Open Late and weekends some bank holidays Disadvantages: Not in very early to drop bikes off
...Have used Dave for years very straight forward guy, Will give it as it is like it or not but will never leave you stuck. Also with his years of experance can mend anything even making parts up for end of line bike models or parts that are no longer avalaible amazing guy. Chinese bikes welcome have a Moto Roma Cruiser for my wife and parts are like gold dust Dave found alternative part that fitted. Great that he's a MOT station as you can time your yearly service around your MOT Test. Very hard to find just off the Cranford on roundabout (A4) down a little ally in the middle of a little Parade of shops. Not a early riser so will not be around to 10.00 a but works very late some times up to 8 pm guaranteed to be around until 6pm....

“Diarios De Motocicleta” is quite simply a reproduction of the travelogue kept by the twenty-three year old Ernesto Guevara (played by the rather gorgeous Gael García Bernal) who will one day be nicknamed Che, the Argentinean slang meaning “friend”. ... more
I first read Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance when i was about 14 and have re-read it about three times since then. I'm not sure I still completely understand it, and trying to give a summary isn't easy, but I will try.
