    I’ve always had crap stuff for years, but being a short arse, I got fed up with my new leather being too long in the body, so bit the bullet and visited Aero leathers, as they’re made to measure. Best jacket I’ve ever had! The jeans were a bit too expensive, but my wife decided to treat me, so couldn’t argue with that
    The helmet took a bit of decision making though. Couldn’t really justify the price, but everytime I went looking, I couldn’t find anything else I was happy with, also my old Arai was 15years old lol. Getting 15% discount swung it in the end. Just waiting for a decent day to try it out now
    Knew I should’ve taken the bike out over the weekend, but just couldn’t be arsed in the end

    £650? Ouch, that's a couple of hundred quid too much for me. I could buy 15 bottles of Gin for the difference or sod it just don't bother with the helmet & buy 40! :)

    I still have my old Simpson bandit helmet. Never gonna let that go!
    I’m very happy with the Hedon so far though. Good hand made quality, that fits snug and really comfortable. I tried the bell Bullitt, but could move the helmet around, leaving the lining stuck to my head! Also didn’t look as nice either. Tried one of their £600 carbon helmets and the material inside felt really course against my face and forehead.

    It is a lot of money, which is why I turned it down to start with. It was only down to getting nearly £100 off and the fact there was nothing else I liked.
    I paid nearly £400 for my Arai 15 years ago, so I get my monies worth:D

    Yes. Your right there DD. Only got enlarged prostate. Still waiting for the big C:joy:. Raised a few hundred quid though so it was worth it :).
    But I normally wear similar clobber to Crispey . But don't look as cool obviously.

    I have always been inherently stylish, so no point asking me, for tips, as in all modesty, I dont think you could pull off my attire.Good luck.

    Screenshot_20180103-140927.png I'm off to the classic tt again this year (although I've yet to tell the wife o_O ) . Last year was a bit cool to say the least
    in a open face helmet so I've purchased one of these, not too expensive, a good make and I think should go with a retro looking bike. Although mine is a 2005 older model.:cool:
