New gloves
Got some new gloves today. Ordered them from mlol.de roughly two weeks ago and today they were delivered.
Alpinestars GP-Plus, 99 EUR, last years model.
The reason why I tend to order stuff mostly from Germany is pure and simple; money. *doh* Who could have guessed??
If the local price for these in Finland is about 160-180 EUR, (sorry, don’t know the exact price..) it’s pretty clear. I know I should support the local shops and so on, but, hey; some realism is in place. Getting something delivered to my door at almost half the price, there’s something wrong somewhere. If the German retailers are so nice and they want to support the hobbies of Finnish people selling and sending stuff all the way up north at their expense, then thank you for that! ..or, maybe it’s something else. See also my posts about the tyre prices.
[ and now for those crying about jobs, companies, etc etc.. moving from Finland to somewhere else…yada yada blah blah - because of people like me; go hug a tree ]
Gloves look good and seem to have good protection. Now how about those boots and leathers ?

nice dude. Did you look into the Held Phantoms? I picked them up and they are really nice. Bit more pricey though, but real good race stuff!

Boots are on their way, leathers will be in June.
