I spent some time in HG on Sunday (much to the distain of my wife and daughter, pay back for all those hrs I've stood about

)anyway, I was trying on all the jackets, kinda decided on the GTX however was slightly disapointed as I'd tried on a Rukka at Smarts and really liked it, price was rather offputting tho.
However....
I might be sorted for the jacket...
Fingers crossed and that it arrives and is as described but I may have just got myself an eBay bargain.
Rukka Allroad Jacket, new with tags. Retail priced at circa £600, "won" for a total of £132 including postage!
Not bad I reckon, specially as I sold my Remus from my VFR for £120 cash today.
As it happens I tried on a Rukka at Smart Riders shop and made sure the sizing was correct before I placed my bid on Ebay.
I'm all excited now
Just trousers to sort now hopefully

If you can wait till later in the year for the "annual" HG sale, bargains can be picked up.

Decided to splash out on the HG Master 5, just used it once for a run from Hull to london and backin a day, appears to be excellent quality,and fitts well, needed to up a size though, must be putting on weight ??, very impressed with armour as very unobstrusive, especially elbows and shoulders, only pssible down side, if it can be called that, is that with the upper arm vents open, jacket appeared to billow slightly, all in all very pleased. 2 year guarantee on zips etc, 5 year on gortex waterproofing.
didn't do too much for numb bum afeter 300 miles, gel seat needed.
