Well its the BMF Bike Show next Weekend at Peterborough Showground.

Well worth a visit for Cheap helmets, and definately worth a visit to one od Frank Thomas's Reject Tents for Bike Jackets and gloves.

I recon about 80% of the stuff is new. I was told it was mail order returns which they cant sell as new.
Anyway.. just check the seams, zips, fasteners etc thouroughly.
I got two jackets for £20 and £40. that retailed from about £200 the pair.
Both breathable, and one was aquapore / waterproof. (been well tested coming home from Stoneleigh )
OK I didnt get the Armour pads in the shoulders, elbows, and back. But Hey!.. who needs them in a car?
Leather gloves for £5, and £10 for aquapore, with shammy leather finger for wiping your visor.

I was well chuffed with my bargains.
Well worth a visit.

Forget the shammy leather for your fingers, if you're wearing gloves, get a V wipe.

It's a windscreen wiper with a finger hole (so your finger essentially becomes a wiper). Been using them for 20 years. Wouldn't use anything else.
