Another option for the hot summer that we are DEFINITELY HAVING – the Richa Stradale is priced at the same sensible point as the Alpinestars C-1. It also comes with Level 1 elbow and shoulder armour – this time from British firm D3O – and has pockets for chest and back protectors, too. Neoprene collar and sleeves add comfort, and it’s got plenty of useful pockets. Comes in black or black/red, in sizes S-4XL.
Mark started life on two wheels aged 8 on a Mobylette in his Grandfather’s back garden. It was in the blood; Mark’s Great Uncles raced sidecars at the TT, once finishing 5th. His Grandfather was a speedway rider. As for Mark, he once held a licence to race motorcycles in Italy, has completed the ‘Iron Biker’ challenge around the Alps and one day wants to ride around the entire coastline of the UK on a motorcycle..
