Dainese mesh jacket. Been waiting all summer for a decent s/h one to pop up on ebay in my size.

Not something i would wear often but when its really warm and humid they are the best kit to wear.

Less than half price for something worn only a few times seems like a bargain to me. Fits perfectly too.

Yep bought mine on the euro trip a few years back, top notch kit, have managed to wear it a fair amount this year. Sometimes with the hoodie over the top for first thing...very nice jacket indeed.

Lasted really well, just a tad grubby, nothing a proper wash won't fix.


Today I got a mug (with photo) and a enlarged photo for the wall from photo box of me on my S1000R....honing around Silverstone
nice :)

The cut on the lower edge is poor. It's not straight.

File it straight. Most carbon needs tweaking in my experience.

I'm not overly impressed with it to be honest. If the quality was good enough I would take the time to sort it out. I'll take a refund and keep looking.

Serves me right for going for a cheaper version. R & G do some. I may as well pay the full whack.

Ah I see. I only knew of R&G making these so was surprised of quality concerns but all makes sense now. You will be fine with the R&G items.

Stick to R&G Kwacky their products are second to none. Saved my bike from some serious road rash a few years back!

Also let us know how you find that brill cleaner, I always like trying new products

Oh on the same note, I tried that Rhino Goo a couple weeks back, found it very good. Not as good as SDoc but rhino goo is the cheaper alternate and did a good job of shifting the bugs and grime.
