Passing on old kit

[WD Forte]

I'm disposing of some old kit for free and wondering who might want it
An XXL textile jacket with armour and liner ,
Medium sized Spada CE pants in a1 condition ( cos too small for me)
and some used but still useful size 10 boots

Freecycle/Freegle comes to mind but I'm somewhat cynical as the last thing I gave away
for someones 'son who really needed it' was on Ebay the next day with a total bullshit back story
which pissed me of mightily.
This was not the first time this has happened.

I'm wondering if motorcycle schools would have a use for SH kit for newbies to use?
Do they do that?
I'd happily drop if off to them if so.

Hoarder, eh?

Just bin it.

Freecycle is pretty bad - full of people requesting old records/sewing machines/computers "for their hobby" who will then stick it on Ebay.

Motorcycle schools... hehehe. I remember how I had to borrow disgusting old gloves, etc. I very much doubt that's still the case today. Can't imagine anyone borrowing gloves for a motorcycle lesson. Much less the same for jackets and trousers. I mean, even the offer to supply them to a keen but hard-up youngster would seem a bit weird in today's world. Times moved on, etc. Besides, do you really want to help the people of today? A few years ago I offered a helmet I was replacing to the local fire service, following something someone had suggested on this forum. They had no use for it and didn't even thank me. I think there's some crossover in unrelated activities and in general I won't give away anything unless my bin is full and it's saving me a trip to the dump.

You've reminded me of my Mod 2. The other student turned up with nothing: no helmet, no gloves, no boots, etc. and wanted the whole lot supplied by the school! The expression on the instructor's face was priceless.
