francley40 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I must be getting too old. I've been looking round for some new riding gear and everything on offer (in the UK at least) makes you look like a tart. Isn't there a market for some gear that's a little bit more tasteful? Maybe it's just me............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benwall Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) what about this it is quite suttle http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/25412251/Borat-Mankini/Product.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=mankini&urlrefer=search but on a serious note the ones at simimular arnt to bright http://www.smproducts.co.uk/products/clothing also jitsie do a plain black kit if you can get your hands on it, its just black with a few black pin stripes or TED has just got MOTS in stock Edited January 26, 2012 by benwall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty_jon Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 The first one is tempting, but I reckon the nettles may cause a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phb Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 wolf sport do some decent trials gear which isnt too bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francley40 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks, Chewy, I'll give him a look. . How do you get on with your Evo 200? I'm finding a 250 is too much and a 125 is not quite enough (Gas Gas both). I had a Beta Techno but didn't like the left sided kick starter much. Maybe a 200 is easier to kick over with my gammy left leg. . Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I too tried the Borat mankini,but the colour clashed badly with my wig - and my false boobies kept falling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first one I.ve had with the Keihin carb and it really is a differnt bike compared to the mikuni days. It runs clean and consistently it pulls me (fat &astard) up big hills in 4th... So far (6 weeks) it's a pleasure to own. I tried to have a go on a 290 which is really nice bike to ride but could'nt kick it over.....a real mans bike for sure. Ps If you get to Wrighty before me tell him to take plenty to SSDT..if he can negotiate some space to sell from if he can't perhaps he will advertise on here ..it's the perfeck media for him.
