$450 to get me helmet, gloves and jacket?

[Subike]

I suggest opp shops for the jacket.
A near new set of wet weather gear was bought in Leeston opp shop for $10.
A double breasted Roger Davison leather riding jacket from the same shop for a mere $50
And a pair of Rossie boots for $5
Pawn shops also can be a source of Cheap leathers,
But The helmet, buy a new one, and it should be the biggest ticket item you buy

Depending on your body size and helmet size, we have some spare helmets here that are free to a good home, Medium. grex flip front, nolan flip front, open face HJC (I think) and a large open face jet helmet....
I have a new 4xl leather jacket that is actually too big for me and I will sell it for $200...
The helmets are all in good condition we were using them till they were replaced by Nolan's (newer model's) ... I do have a spare XL flip front Nolan but want $350 for it,,, it is in fantastic condition.

If you just want one of the 'freebie' lids... PM me.... they are not crash damaged, bashed about or poor condition linings.

Oh I forgot about ls2! Definitly check out trademe for jackets, but please don't buy a second hand helmet. Even a cheap brand new one is better than a higher level second hand one. After all, if you come off, it has to protect some precious cargo!

sorry babe, I dont agree with the reference about cheap lids being better than higher level ones S/hand... those helmets we are giving away were simply replaced with newer models, and were the ones used to protect our heads!

I'm not knocking your ones

What I mean, A brand new lid can be better because you know its history, as opposed to buying what was a fairly expensive helmet in its day, cheaply off trademe and trusting that it hasn't been dropped or something similar.
