Rather off topic, but whilst I was in the dealers (see my other post), a guy came in on a Fireblade - with all the fancy go faster bits on. Not only was it in full HM Plant race replica livery, but he had HM Plant race replica leathers on as well! Looked ludicrous on a 70 year old!

I wonder if when he buys a new bike, does he have to buy new leathers as well? Or if he buys new leathers, does he have to get his bike resprayed to match???? Strange world isn't it!

Ah Bless... he is probably happy in his own little way...

i googled, and first result came back as this: http://www.hmplantlimited.co.uk/

But yes, it's a disease that seems rife on sports bikers. I especially laugh when it's hosing down, and their racing leathers are giving them the soggy bottom look, while i'm dry I'm my commuter textiles
