Best CE Level 1 and 2 Denim Biking Jean + combats?

Hi All, I'm looking for some blue denim biking jeans and also some biking combat style trousers. Am I right that Bull-It jeans are the only denim jean to meet CE Level 2? What other brands meet CE level 1 or ideally 2 please? I'm only familiar with Draggin. As fit is very individual, I'm 5'10 and 11...

Re: Naked bikes Vs. Sports bikes

I like the look and sound of the CBR500R a lot!

Time for me to get on with my DA license and do some test rides :) Thanks all :)

Hello from new to biking - Bristol centre

Hi all, 37 years old here and just started riding in June last year, having the CBT only license at the moment and a black Sym Wolf Classic for now. I'm looking to upgrade my license and get a 500 or 600cc bike in the next couple of months and I ride for 1 - 2 hours everyday or as close to as possib...

Re: Naked bikes Vs. Sports bikes

Thanks TLS for your reply and I will post up in the intro section too :) By a degree of faring, do you mean the first example below? I do prefer the second photo of the black bike. I don't expect to do much motorway riding either, so wouldn't be riding above 70 mph or so very often re wind shielding.

I will be doing up to 2 hours of city road riding a day, and as I understand it, a Naked bike's riding position is a lot more comfortable and suited to this. I'll also be stepping up from a 125 Sym W...

Good make and model 125cc bike and safety gear

Hello All I have just recently completed the CBT and plan to take things easy and get experience on a 125cc this Summer to end of September, and then do the Direct Access Spring 2014 and buy a bigger sports bike. As I'll only be using the bike for 4 or 5 months, I don't want to spend more than £500 ...
