Gear checklist & budget

Bought my first bit of kit today, an HJC IS-17 helmet in black and orange. Looked at loads of other kit but nothing really grabbed me or was way too expensive for my needs.

At MCN London? Was that helmet from Bikers Wear? I looked at it myself but fit didn't seem amazing. Ended up with a Nolan N87. Preferred one of the Sharks but I seemed to be between sizes really.

Ended up spending nearly £500 there yesterday :eek:

Can't remember what they were called, but their service was great. I must've had 20 odd lids on my head over the course of the day, and it really stood out how unhelpful some of the people were (but then they probably had a whole day of idiots like me trying & not buying) but these guys were fantastic so they got the sale. I must admit I could've easily spent £££ there but had to restrain myself. It was a good day out but I thought the stunt riders were terrible. IC3 could probably perform better than them.

Cheers for the heads up on the boots :)

Yes sir, it's why I didn't want to order one online. As for the size, I was quite surprised actually as my head isn't *that* big, it just seems that their sizes are a bit smaller than some other ones I tried on (AGV and Shoei were both XL for example).

Good man,

I don't think I could buy a helmet online without at least having tried it on in person knowing it was a safe fit.
