Hey all.
Delighted that this forum exists and hopefully get in touch with other bikers to go for a ride now and then, I've had a general look around the site and there are a lot of headings to get through, very interesting on the whole. So well done to the administrators for having such a usefull resource.

I got a bandit a month ago and had a few rides around, be doing heaps when the summer arrives.(and the deck is finished!!!) my previous riding was 6 years ago in the not so sunny climes of Scotland, when it isnt raining the riding is however fantastic

Would like to know where the best places are to look for Protective Clothing, Boots, Trousers, and Jacket.

Cheers

Welcome, it is good to have another Bandit Rider on the roads. Motomail I would agree is the best place to start.
