London Motorcycle Show

So this is running at Ally Pally from 29th January to 6th February and I'll be going on Saturday, 5th February with Michael the Bandit owner.

There's more about it here.

On my shopping list are the following goodies for Blue Rex:

First up is a Respro SLICK Racing Wet Weather Suit

From their web site:

Use the SLICK? Race suit for the following:
Increase Thermal Protection on perforated suits
Reduces weight gain by keeping Leathers from soaking up water
Improved Aero Dynamics at High speed
To go with your High Heeled PVC boots

I like companies with a sense of humour. I'll not be having the Ducati branding; instead I hope to get some vinyl lettering made up locally, if I can find anywhere.

Secondly, I'm after some new leathers. I've seen this suit at Cissbury Leathers for £200 so it's got to be worth a punt:

They're an Arlen Ness 1254 two piece racing suit (with no ridiculous Quasimodo hump).

I might also treat myself to a nice new Arai like I posted before on my LJ: my current one is a three year old Arai Quantum F helmet which should really be replaced, but I'm torn between the Schwantz replica like the one I used to have and the Cathcart replica which I've always liked.

And that little lot should do it!
