Hi Guys,
I have not been on here for quite some time.
A number of you will know me for my little open wheel race car (GSXR1100 powered).
Here is a recent vid for those interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPwpvuZ5t4Y
Well I have decided to finally have a go on 2 wheels. The ultimate aim to join my son James on a few track days.
I am starting off on James old (but very good) CBR250RR as I need to run Ls and Ps on the road for a while.
I am currently looking around at protection gear.
I am thinking 2 piece leathers to give me a bit of practicality on the road and also the ability to put my toe in the water at the track.
Has anyone in experience with BGA stuff? I looks reasonable and the price seems good for something that is as good as made to order. I have short arse legs and a bit of a gut these days so OTS stuff is a real compromise.
Any clues on what I should look for? Clearly, I do not want to break the bank in case I decide that this 2 wheel stuff is not for me.
Cheers
Peter.
