Where has the best value selection of motorbike clothing in London. My sisters boyfriend has just done his CBT at metropolis and is doing his DAS soon.

He is getting a small 125 to pootle around on until the DAS and then he will buy a larger bike, however he will need clothing to suit the bikes! Im not looking for crap gear but it doesnt have to be this seasons!

AGV helmet (Or as good quality), textile (Armoured), boots and gloves. 99% of his riding will be through London.

You could try J & S Accessories in Greenwich which is a big shop with a lot stuff.
I also find that Infinity in Holborn, despite it being a really small shop, seems to always have loads of stuff.

Avoid Ann Summers They do leather gear but not really suitable for motorbiking in London

Heine Gericke are hard to beat on price.
As JP says J&S in Greenwich quite good too.

Trust me, you cannot spend enough money on good boots and gloves! I can still walk and use my hands today thanks to top kit. The boots are still good for another few spills but sadly I don't think I am.
