    I've got BKS from George Whites. £300 on the rack down from £699, and I managed to get them down to £250 when I bartered. Job done!

    Try on as many as possible, try them on the bike, stretch, walk and imagine wearing them for upto 8hrs a day. The ones that you think will do the job you buy. That's it, no exceptions. And get a back protector.

    Yes get in there and try them on as they will all fit in different ways, don't like one piece myself.

    Make sure you go kitted up ready to ride out, boots can be a nightmare to get on if you buy leathers that are multi layered. I bought BKS from the bike show and they are really comfortable but I have not got to buy new boots because they are too thick for my boots!
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
