hey, im considering buying a vespa, dont have on eyet but i wanted to know all potential costs before i jump in... i already own a bernardo leather jacket like this www.twenga.com/price-bernardo-leather-jacket.html (first one) but is that going to offer me enough protection on a bike? i know that on a vespa you dont go anywhere near the speeds of a bike so i dont need full leathers but would i be better off to purchase something more specialised? like this... www.bikeleathers.org.uk/category/motorcycle-jackets/ and if so what brand do i go for?! i dont mind forking out on a jacket, like i said i just want to know what sort of costs im getting myself into, dont want any nasty surprises...! thanks in advance |

I'd expect that first one would offer slightly more protection than Toilet paper but not much beyond that.
As with helmets I'd buy nothing on-line, get yourself down to your local motorbike shop etc. and check out the quality / fit and then see if you can make a saving via the internet.

thanks juan, i was gonna do that anyway before i buy, so do i take it that even on a vespa it is worth getting a good leather jacket? a proper biking one? no harm in protecting yourself is there...

What the difference with crashing a smallie at 60mph or crashing a bike at 60mph?? You look loads cooler on the smallie before the crash.. ;D ;D Get yourself decent gear, wrong place to save imo. |
