Gear spec and security

Have my theory next week, then on to my Mod 1.

I'm looking to get a pair of Keval jeans asap and a set of gloves for the mod 1. I dont want to spend a stupid amount as i intend on buying full leathers once i pass.I'l be using the jeans to wear over work trousers for the odd commute and some water proofs over the top when its raining.... Maybe some boots for £60?

I have a budget of £150 for both. Whats the chances, could you fine people link me up some stuff?

Also next month i'm looking to buy a chain lock and disc lock, is it possible to just spend £100 on them both? Or is that too little?

Looks like we're in similar boats!

Some good stuff linked in that thread, might be worth taking a look. Good luck, can't wait to be on two wheels again!

Ah great cheers! YEah i absolutely cant wait, tho i'm bricking it for the mod 1.... Not bothered about the main test as a minor mistake is just that! Agrrr.

In terms of locks, I've done a bit of digging and found Almax to be very highly rated. Costs a bit, but then it's still cheaper than the premiums you'd be paying if your pride and joy got nicked.

There are also reports of people cutting through the chains but they are all very old so I dunno...

Oh and just to add to that, Almax is British made, which is a selling point for me as a filthy forriner. Gotta do my bit to earn my keep

Almax and pragmasis are the 2 chains worth spending money on. Anything else can pretty much be cropped by sneezing on it.

After watching the video, the jean itself is twice as strong as kevla ....

Purchased! Some good reviews about them and they're fully protected!

Now for Gloves and boots.

https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/54392 - bear in mind, they'll only last about a year if you ride all year round. A bit longer if you just ride in nice weather.

Don't know if you want some summer gloves as well? https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/16228

For budget stuff, if you just order SportsBikeShop by highest rated then the top ones are normally very good for the price.
