Second-Hand Lady's Clothing Sought

Hi All,

I'm taking my new lady friend to the Tatra Mountains in Poland in August on my Trophy 900.

I've promised to buy her some riding gear but, as she doesn't know thus far if she'll take to life in the saddle, I don't want to spend loads on new stuff.

Has any one a half-decent used lady's outfit for sale? She's a petite size 12 (a Frank Thomas 'Lady Rider' outfit size LL was too big - if that's any clue).

I live south of London, so if someone in the south-east of England has something, that would be handy - but open to suggestions from anywhere if we have time to post, etc.

Cheers, peeps!

Simon

Whatever, there's no woman is there, you pervert.

Try londonbikers.com given your location and need for generic gear.

Thanks for the tip.

What a shame you missed the BMF show in peterborough - that's the best place for bargain gear.....
Can't offer anything myself but your best bet would be to advertise locally in a bikers cafe or local clubs as well as several forums such as this!
Good Luck and have fun on your journey...

Did you look on eBay? When I was looking to get rid of some of my old clothes last year I looked and found it was so cheap.. in the end I gave my old overtrousers and a jacket away to a colleague.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
