    Question To Keep Or Not To Keep

    Many years ago (17 or so) I had some textile motorcycle plants bought for me. They have been living in the wardrobe for about 16 of those years and as I am in the process of getting my bike license I was wondering if they would still be fine to use? I'm sure they will be as they have been kept out of the sun etc I'm just not sure how these sorts of fabrics age. I would hate to come off and find out I may as well have been wearing shorts!!

    Thanks and you're right about only me being able to make that call. I will give them a good inspection and make a decision!
