Reckon I'm getting old...... Saw a couple of chaps turn up on a Brand New Goldwing and a Triumph 1200 Tiger ?..... so off I went to say "Nice Bike Mate" ..... to be fair they were both very nice about it ....... Chap on the Wing only got it a couple of days ago and only ever had Adventure bikes soit was a whole new thing for him....... His Jacket and Trousers were @£2000 so I guess he was one of those rich feckers........ !

You mean the jacket was £2k!
I quite fancy some new kit, but I’m not prepared to pay the silly prices.
Added to that, I’ve already got:
2x leathers
3x Kevlar leggings
2x textile jackets
1 summer jacket
1 Kevlar jeans
3x boots
Etc...

Probably, I'm out of touch with it all personally............ can't see the point in paying all that for clothes. ............ You have a fine wish list there..... reckon @ £5000 ?

Here's proof we are NOT rich. Last tax year i paid £168, HRH paid £34, or was it the other way round.
Mind you we do have a very good accountant (Shirl)
