I need size 50-52 full leather gearing. Including helmet and boots.
Should match my bike or else no buy.

I need a really really good deal on this.

Thanks! I took a look at this jacket

Is that an ok jacket? or should I stick with leathers?

the thing is that I just can't afford everything if I go for leather.

But this "Textile" jacket looks good.

But it lacks good protection. It really ain't "metallic"-hard protection in the elbows and/or shoulders, right?

Those are great summer jackets and the protection is pretty good I saw a guy go down at 85mph and it saved his ass

See that you are looking for a new set of leathers...I found this site about 2 weeks ago, they have some pretty cool stuff!
