As it’s officially “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” it’s time we busted out the jackets!

It’s an all blue Friday today!

Sax, 555 UHR & the navy portage mocs
Have a great friday folks

Nice chilled one today

Cooler mornings are meaning an excuse for actual clothes now rather than gym kit, and I am here for it!

IH cargos
SDA futa ai jacket
Stronghold tee

Now the mornings are getting a little cooler this has become my go to for work days.

Over dressed for WFH doing spreadsheets in my kitchen but why the hell not eh!

Another step closer to test day! Today was MOD1 training on a 600cc suzuki, much preferred to the 125cc day I did yesterday. MOD2 training tomorrow and test on tuesday morning! Fingers crossed!

Hi everyone, long time fan of IH, was on the forum a few years back but wasn't very active. Lost access for a while but just rejoined today! Happy to be here.

Originally from Manchester Uk, but have become an honorary southerner since moving "dahn sarf" around 20 years ago for work. Gosport represent!

I’m sorry to say since grabbing other boots I’ve kind of neglected my trusty iron rangers. Chucked em on the other day and fell in love with them all over again!

No IH in the pics but just passed the CBT today meaning I’m safe to train for the next part of the direct access test next week!
Excited is an understatement, and I can see why you motorcycle folks feel the way you do about this! Pictured the poor little 125cc Honda that dragged me about today! 650cc next week!

After failing the mod1 last month, I’ve been patiently waiting for my retest date. According to the bike school there’s a back log, retest could be a few weeks to a few months! Remain flexible and wait for a call! Yeah cheers! Anyway, rather than do nothing I found this cheeky little cb125r and thought it’d get me out there on two wheels, I can learn more and get some road time in while I wait! The not being able to use motorways is a pain as my commute revolves around the motorway but I’ll get as much time on this little thing as I can, and hopefully be ready when the test date rolls around

Due to our often strange laws here in the uk, my edc is usually one of these. Admittedly the larger knife could still get me in trouble (blade size) and the smaller one too (semi locking blade) although I’ve never had an issue with either…yet. Of the two I much prefer the micro blade it’s a really cool little knife

Dropped some pennies today but hopefully I’ll be warm, dry and safe for my first run out! Helmet, jacket and gloves secured. Anything absolutely imperative that I’m missing or do you guys reckon I’ll be ok to get going with the course?

Some one said this is where the bike dudes hang out? Hoping to be joining you soon, have got my direct access course next month and fingers crossed will have a full motorcycle license by around 15 Sept!

@Denman-John

Hey John! These are the ones I picked up. I’ve also just picked up some Kevlar jeans with armour too, got them off a friend. I think one day I may grab some of the armoured underlayers and wear regular clothes on top but for now I’m gonna go with the safety stuff! I’m hella clumsy!

@Denimhead-0 cheers Jay! Last day of training was today, just got home. Two tests from 8 tomorrow morning and hopefully we’ll be good to go!

@JB

These are my first UHR and I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to this sort of stuff so write it all down. I didn’t get much shrink from a soak, hot tap water for 1hr. Then a 30°c wash which did do a bit.
Hope this helps mate

@Steve oooh I like this mate!
