Used Gear - How to best pass it on?

[jellywrestler]

i get up at 4am and do a 6k walk with the mongrel, every morning including through frosty dunedin winter a scooterist goes past with no gloves on, he's either superman or once his hands go numb he doesnt worry about it

gloves are the simplest of things, easy to stash in a brain bucket, can't understand why people ride without them really

Back doing the instructing thing last century, I remember some clown wannabee biker showed up on a Hardly Ableson as he didn't have a licence . Said we could ignore the bigger than 250 for course but not the lack of gloves.
Said he needed the extra 'Feel' on controls.

Just go grab some gloves bud.
Never saw him again.

Guess he tells that story where he told The Man (volunteers) where to stick it. No one tells Big Nigel what to wear. Didn't need any riding training anyway.

I would say cardboard box with 'FREE' written on it left at university bike park. Not sure they still have those. But they would qualify as poor and wanting better gear than currently have.
Though somehow my sister bought my first leather gloves (ones I had weren't) while she was at massey. Must ask her about that.

No one takes "free". Put $10 and they will be taken (nicked). Has worked several times to get rid of junk at the roadside

Have you considered contacting one of the motorcycle training providers, they might be able to find a new home for your surplus gear.

I got rid of a pair of pants a while ago on bookface for a nominal fee (not free to reduce the number of idiots to deal with), they needed a new home as had shrunk while hanging in the garage not being used.

That's not uncommon. Dusty (iconic Leda leathers) confirmed that to a mate. It happens.

My Ledas (I believe the first one piece Dusty made) are in a box out in the shed. Will see how much they have shrunk over the 50 odd years Ive had them

if they are that's a cool bit of history, be cool to see them

Indeed I got a jacket made by Dusty. Many moons later i took it back and complained that it had shrunk in the wardrobe. He altered it,lamenting that he couldnt get the same quality leather that he used to. That jacket is in my avatar .I still have it

I have mine.
And the one before that. I had to get a section put in the sides and arms as I bought it off a mate when I was a teenager.

Sold under a brand name, out riding so can't check, through Scooter centre as they did in the day.
Kept it for the wife as she had many layers of clothing.

Actually Pete I'm at Pieshop cafe and owners asked after you just as I type this and to say hi.
