I have dririder summer/sports gloves grog, they're pretty good. Mine have a nice long gauntlet with Velcro closure and padded thumb and side palm pads. Just worn in and nice and flexible.

I have Dririder winter gloves Grog & the quality & comfort are great. Also have a jacket as well which has been fantastic for the past 4.5 years.

Thanks Sweaty. Looking at options for new winter jacket for next year. My summer Shark is all good. My 7 yr old RJAYS, great jacket but lining inside torn. Not sure what to buy. Another cloth ? maybe a leather. Would like just a warm one without removeable liner. Spend on Alpine Star? Big bucks but maybe what i need. Havent had leather long time, can remember the weight. Any thoughts gentlemen.

I have a Dririder leather jacket with a removable liner.

I'm quite happy with it.


Any other 14 owners going to Springwood on Saturday morning ?

I'm undecided between going, or there's a Crows Nest ride on.

I've switched to RST gear as it seems to fit the more stout rider  :stir: :stir: :stir:

I bought winter/water resistant jacket. As nothing is waterproof  ??? ???

Will probably go to Motorcycles are Us in the arvo when the crowds recede.  :boogie2: :hat:

Went down to Motorcycles R Us / Springwood Suzuki this morning.

A bit sad to see a lot less Suzuki's than in the past.
Half of the show room is now KTM's and their clothing and accessories.

Had a look at the 2019 Busa. I like the Black with silver wheels colours.
Sadly they still want $19,000 for one so it might not be my next bike.

Went in the service dept next door.
B-King is overdue it's 2nd reg/rec recall.
A full head to toe service at the same time is going to be $930.

Coffee and toast was OK at $10, and I got to have a chat with Tony Armstrong who I haven't seen in a while.

Best bit was I bumped into some old mates who I haven't seen in a while and they are keen to do a 4 day loop around NSW taking in Waterfall Way, The Oxley Highway etc.

As this is a Qld post.

I think it's Joes Cafe Bike Night this afternoon, although the weather forecast says rain coming in later.
