Clothing on my sidecar...
That bike is great, I've often had an urge for a BSA m20, but they tend to need a fair bit of work when they come up... I'll keep looking! The LL shop is a little aladdins den, if you have not been there its great as you can spend ages in there and Hiro is always happy to chat. If you have...- Twit

Clothing on my sidecar...
James, That looks like a cracking Norton, what year is it? I was looking at an 18H not so long ago which was in great nick but really really slow, whilst I liked it I didnt think I would use it!!! Would love to know more about yours! I posted this on the other thread but this is my AJS...- Twit

Watch Suggestions
Agree, although I do like some of recent carrera reissues. I also have an original Heuer Monaco, which is great. No two ways about it, it was expensive and buying it was painful; but if you want an original they are still out there. A good UK based site for Heuer is...- Twit

Watch Suggestions
I have a Tag Heuer Monaco and its great, in my view its pretty timeless and will remain so. I have had no issues with mine at all., its well made and I wear it at least 2 times a week ( I have a few watches). Guess it depends on the style you want... When you buy have a look at some of the...- Twit

Shoes, looking for something stylish, and versatile
I wear these just about everyday for work and they also go with pretty much any combination of trouser: They are Grenson Fred boots, they are not cheap at all, but are very well made. There are plenty of places on the net that will sell and deliver.- Twit

Hi Poggleberry Only just seen the pics, they look great! My friend finished fine but with no award, I'm just gutted I couldnt ride. I will certainly be on the next trial on a 56 AJS. I got it running, kind of properly, over the weekend but its now being tweaked to get a bit more 'go' out of...- Twit

You live near Wimbledon?? Get yourself to piccadilly, there are two barbour shops there and both have internationals in stock. Failing that there is a barbour shop in windsor or in the conference centre in Islington.- Twit

Kakadu Trailmaster Clone
Yes they are genuine and they are new but as you say waxed cotton not leather. Also, those ones come with bike armour in them for riding, I just took it out, as I'd never use the jacket on any fast bikes! I actually got mine from that site, ordered it and it arrived two days later, no problems!- Twit

Kakadu Trailmaster Clone
Yes, thats it, I was looking for it earlier and just found an advert in Classic Motorcycle. At the show I thought it looked pretty good, certainly for the price. I have to say I prefer the Belstaff to the Barbour simply because the shoulders on the Belstaff are squarer than the Barbour...- Twit

Kakadu Trailmaster Clone
That doesnt look bad, but its difficult to tell from the pic. I saw another copy at the classic bike show last weekend which was selling at £99.00 which I didnt think was bad and it looked ok. That said you can get a 'new' Belstaff from here for £330.00: http://www.holden.co.uk/ I have...- Twit

Clothing on my sidecar...
I wear modern stuff on my bike too and from work, but it is a modern bike! On the old ones I tend to wear jeans, red wings, my belstaff and a open faced helmet and goggles; it suits the bikes and they struggle to get much above 40MPH anyway!!! Safety is the main issue to and from work...- Twit

Anyone own the Levi's LVC 1930 Menlo Cossack Jacket?
There's a Levi shop just round the corner from my office (Covent Gdn); I'm next in on Friday so will pop out and have a look. It is really expensive and I would have thought you would get better elsewhere. You could probably get one made for not much more!- Twit

Going down one size from UK 8.5 = 8 or 7.5?
I'm a UK size 9 and when I got my red wings (gentlemen traveller) I was a size 9, no difference and they fit well. I also have a pair of redwing bike boots and they too are size 9. Probably doesnt help much!!!- Twit

Retro Motorcycle Boots
For actually riding a bike you cant beat Altburgs. I have two pairs, one normal bke boot and one the lace up bike boots. The lace up boots are basically hiking boots that are adapted for bikes. I rode a bike from the UK to Australia and my traditional altburg boots were worn as my only shoes...- Twit

BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.
303 squadron was prodominantly Polish, and pretty fearsome by all accounts. Having said that there are also a number of accounts of them overstepping the mark in terms of aggression against enermy pilots after they had baled out...
