    What do you drive and whats your interest ? modified, sports, super car, road etc ?

    Off topic, but I've had sporty coupes, hatchbacks, mods and now have a family wagon :)

    Can't beat the family wagon. A chariot for multi use, carrying people of different ages and sizes :D
    In a former life I've wasted vast amounts on hot hatches, modifying, upgrading and keeping up with developments and now I find myself here doing a similar thing :shock:

    All this and yet you say you don't drive? Doesn't compute!

    As a rough rule of thumb, I would say spend at least 10% of your bike budget on clothing, otherwise it's kind of a mismatch. £500 could be £150 shoes, £100 helmet, £50 jersey, £70 shorts, £80 bib tights, £50 sundries, like gloves.
