...in the in-law's garage. Mother in law does a car boot/flea market on a Wednesday and has a garage full of tat donated. Tells us today that she's had a "motorbike suit" donated, but she's going to tip it because "it's ruined". I ask her to see it, and she goes and digs it out the garage. Out she pulls a lovely Gericke 2 piece in red, white and black, proper power ranger kit, that's well worn in, but still in good nick, plenty of life left. Jacket's a bit small for me, but the pants fit. All fits the missus though, so that's her new pillion kit sorted. Was made doubly better for her when I turned it over and found the autograph on the back. She nearly creamed, as she's a massive fan! Result!

Guy Martin. Very fast TT racer, but a truck mechanic is his normal day to day life. Funny bloke have a watch of "TT Closer to the Edge". (Protip, get it on piratebay). Has proper sideburns too.

Ahh, nice find! He is a funny bloke, did a series called "The boat Guy built" which was very good. At the time had no idea he was a motorbike racer.

Maybe he does have wolverine type abilities, seeing as how he crashed resulting in this, but is still walking, talking and riding f'kin fast.

Found this on ebay few weeks ago and got it for less than £2 including postage not much(mass produced) but I found it pretty cool.
