Countdown to Christmas

November 15, 2013

It might only be the third week in November, but our annual Christmas countdown clock has already started ticking!

You’ve only got until 1pm on Friday 20th December to place all your orders for guaranteed delivery in time for the big day, so why wait until the last minute? Our Christmas Gift Shop is now live, with plenty of products to choose from, including all sorts of stocking fillers and gifts to suit all kinds of budgets.

If you’re struggling to decide what to buy for your biker friends or family, I’ve chosen my personal favourites from each category to give you some inspiration!

Biker Stocking Fillers

My favourite in this category is by far the Black™ Windproof Balaclava. At £6.99 it’s an absolute steal, with its Super Roubix Pile construction – a special windproof material that repels rapid airflow and helps to insulate the protected area. Perfect for this time of year, it’d be rude not to. Quick code: 5003. To buy, click here.

Biker Gifts Under £25

This one’s a no brainer. The Oxford Aqua20R Backpack is taking the category by storm. Highly durable and fully waterproof, the welded TPU rucksack gives you 20 litres of space to play with – an essential for regular bikers. Ideal for commuters or long distance riders, this one’s a real treat if you’re after biker luggage. Quick code: 8860. To buy, click here.

Biker Gifts Under £50

My favourite in this category is the THH TS-39 Plain with an additional visor. Sleek and contemporary yet oozing that classic biker feel, the TS-39 is a full face helmet taking the world by storm. Its ECE 22.05 certification makes it fully road legal, and for the very reasonable price of £43.49 you can have an additional visor of your choice included in the bundle. Kill two birds with one stone here, not to be missed. Quick code: 10872. To buy, click here.

Biker Gifts Under £100

If you’re looking at spending a fair bit of cash you definitely want to make sure you’re getting the right present. For me, it’s got to be the Buffalo Caliber Touring Jacket. It’s fully waterproof and has Scotchlite reflective panels on the front and rear. With CE approved elbow and shoulder armour and a removable ThermoMix thermal lining, you can’t really get it wrong if you buy this beast. Quick code: 10575. To buy, click here.

Biker Gifts Under £150

This one was definitely the toughest to call, as there are some seriously good products in here. I’ve gone for the Rev’It Brera Urban Jacket on this occasion though. With Knox CE Lite protection at the shoulders and elbows, the jacket is styled to change people’s perception of bikers. With a fur lined hood and stretch paneling at the wrists and waist, it could easily be mistaken for a jacket that was bought on your local high street. An ideal gift for the younger biker or some experienced hands that are desperate to feel their biking youth. Quick code: 10846. To buy, click here.

Biker Gifts Under £200

Treat someone’s feet this Christmas with the Alpinestars 2014 S-MX 6 boots. CE approved and constructed from an advanced microfiber for durability and repeat abrasion resistance, the S-MX 6 boots really are something special. Their high modulus TPU injected shin guard, calf protector, heel counter, shift pad and toe slider improve shock protection and increase the life of the boots. These are so feature packed I could talk about them all day. But I won’t. Quick code: 9978. To buy, click here.

Ultimate Biker Gifts

Completing the set are the Alpinestars New Land Gore-Tex Trousers. Where to start with these? The Gore-Tex membrane is 100% waterproof but also adds breathability, and the removable thermal liner with fleece ensures full comfort whether it’s hot or cold. The trousers also feature rip-stop, tear resistant TEFLON coated seat and knee areas for increased abrasion performance on key impact zones. The CE certified Bio-Armour on the knees is both lightweight and durable; perfect for any biker. These really are a premium product, ideal for any biker. Quick code: 8165. To buy, click here.

If none of my favourite biker Christmas gifts tickle your fancy, there’s plenty to choose from on our website. We’ve placed our best sellers and ideal gifts into specific categories, but of course you’re free to indulge in the thousands of other products we have available. And remember, get your shopping done early!

Until next time round, keep those knees down.

Huge Shoei sale!

November 6, 2013

We’ve reduced loads of our Shoei helmets, including XR-1100 and Qwest graphics so you know what that means… It’s time to get a top notch lid at a great price in our Shoei sale!

I know what you’re thinking, “Why should I buy a Shoei? Aren’t they expensive?” Read on friends, read on.

The XR-1100 features technology already seen in the helmets of racing car drivers and fighter jet pilots. The helmet incorporates Shoei’s CW-1 visor which offers a 120 degree view – much more than any other helmet in it’s class. The aerodynamic shell makes the helmet incredibly stable even at high speeds, allowing for optimum airflow and preventing buffeting. The helmet is constructed of lightweight fibreglass which is weaved and layered for maximum shock absorbance, but also the highest levels of rigidity and safety. The lining is completely removable (and machine washable!) so you can keep your helmet feeling fresher for longer. The XR-1100 also sports a specialist ‘breathing chamber’, designed to ensure that your visor does not steam up whilst riding; whatever the weather.

We have limited stock of most models so you’ll have to act fast if you want to get yourself one because once they’re gone, they’re gone!

If that hasn’t tickled your fancy, we still have plenty of other types of motorcycle helmet to suit all budgets. Check out our full range today!

Until next time round, keep those knees down.

A top biker's guide to picking perfect motorcycle boots this Christmas

November 10, 2009

A top biker’s guide to picking the right motorcycle boots

Motorbike boots are one of the most expensive investments a rider has to make, commonly costing between £50 and £400. So why bother?

Normal shoes, builders’ boots and walking boots can be dangerous when riding on powerful motor vehicles. They wear quickly, especially if you’re a rider who likes to ‘feel the road’ a bit, and they can become flimsy. Boot laces can get caught in pedals and normal shoes can easily be pulled off leaving your feet exposed.

In stark contrast – a pair of good motorcycle boots will be comfortable even at the 300 mile mark. They will protect your toes, ankle, calf and shin and save your feet from turning to hamburgers in a crash. And sometimes they look pretty good too. Good biking boots offer superb protection and with a wide range to choose from there is no excuse for riding in sandals. Here are the three main types:

Motorcycle touring boot
These are usually the least expensive biking boots and are perfect for the everyday commuter who goes out in all weather and wants his boots to be comfortable and safe. You can expect to pay £50-£100 for a good pair and they should last you a long time unless you have a crash.

Check they are waterproof – there’s nothing worse than wet feet. A professionally made pair should have a HIPORA lining which guarantees they will keep water out.

Just because touring boots are lower in price doesn’t mean they all skimp on protection. Look for boots that have a solid shin, ankle guards, with toe caps and heel caps to keep your toes on your feet. Otherwise you might as well ride bare-foot.

Motorcycle sports boot
This footwear is ideal for bikers who feel the need for speed and also want to look the part while they’re cruising. Like designer trainers, this style of footwear often comes in a wide variety of colours or styles and is intended to look great and fit like a glove. The price ranges from between £70-£170.

They should still have all the protective features of a touring boot.

They should be comfortable. A good boot doesn’t put too much pressure on your feet but should grip you well enough to stay on even if you tug them hard.

Motorcycle racing boot
Racing boots are for serious riders who push their kit to the limit and demand all the latest technology and protection to keep them safe and improve their track performance. Unsurprisingly they are often the most expensive and can cost over £300, although good quality ones can be found for under £100.
