Sorry about the leathers. They were $3 in 1997. Pic taken at the Cat and Fiddle on the Buxton to Macclefield road about 4 years ago, maybe 5.
all the best,

Scotty

Funny I ordered Moto Guzzi parts for my vintage Triumph Cafe Racer from Oz cheaper than I could buy them in the states and I buy parts for my Austin Healey cheaper in England. Did someone mention wetsuits?
wish i had thought to look overseas when i had to replace a brake pump on my beemer.

going to be on the south coast of NSW late august through late september. if anyone wants me to bring a suit that's cheaper here down, let me know. we might be able to work out a deal for some accomodations.

Never gone overseas for my Beemer parts. You talking modern or older like 02ʻs, E28, E30, etc?

nah, it was a bike - 04 GS Adventure. between troubleshooting, the pump and the 24,000 mile service i dropped $3800. it was that point i figured i didn't like owning a motorcycle as much as i thought.

i figure for what i spent on a bike in a year i can do several surf trips.
