Pbassred Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I'm not really interested in track days, but I might do a couple if its going to teach me something. Neither can I see my self hacking around the roads In full leathers, so I'm not inclined to spend a huge amount of money on a set. I thought about used. Is that too ickey?

JackieOWheels Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Tbh I had a Frank thomas one piece that was 2nd hand and it was fine you are unlikely to catch anything Likewise, I brought one 2nd hand Frank Thomas too that I wore a lot last Summer when it was wall to wall sunshine, I had to stitch some of the lining on the right hand sleeve as the threads had deteriorated but the leathers itself was in very good condition. I guess it really comes down to how much you really want that item against the price that it is on sale for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Richzx6r Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I think it cost me £40 and there was nothing wrong with it until I stacked it at Cadwell and slid down the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieOWheels Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I got mine for £55, but I was at the time bidding for an Oxford RP3 one piece but didn't get it so when this came along it was a no brainer; haven't had any issues apart from what I'd already mentioned on it thus far.

Snod Blatter Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I bought mine used, it has been stored badly (probably screwed up in a bin liner or something?) and smells of fish when it gets warm, just a bit of rot I guess but it depends how picky you are. I am considering sending it for dry cleaning because it's a decent Akito and fits perfectly so worth keeping unless I go on too many more trips to Germany and eat too much cake and schnitzel..I also wear the gloves that came with it, I try not to to think about that too much!

bonio Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Bought two sets of used leathers (sold one of them). Both were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
