Post by: RRossi on March 09, 2012, 11:23:43 PM
Im in Melborne for the F1 and want to do a bit of bike shoping while im hear for some new leathers, can anyone recomend me a place in the CBD?

So yeah any help would be greatful, I would also love to hire a bike as 2 weeks with out riding will kill me, lol

Tiger Angel do custom made leathers. The shop is in West Melbourne. Not cheap though.  Not sure where most people shop.  I live in the country so most of my shopping is done online but I guess Elizabeth st is a starting place.  Mars leathers are still there.

Peter Stevens has a clearance store around the corner from their main shop. Sometimes has great deals there. As a clearance store though, can be a little hit & miss with stock, but well worth a look.

I know you are in Melbourne atm but you cant go past these in Sydney.

I bought a 1 piece suit for my Husband last week while we were in Sydney and was $409 delivered to Perth.  ;D

Plenty of bargains to be had and the 2 piece suits were the same price.
Huge range of sizes and specials on Helmets, Gloves, Jackets etc

AMX are cheap bike gear warehouses http://www.amxoutlets.com/ (http://www.amxoutlets.com/). They have a large range of leathers and helmets etc. They are a chain so have a few shops spread around depending upon where you are staying.

Don't know what you're used to.  Be interesting to see what you think.

The Melbourne store does have some good specials but they are usually odd sizes, mainly S and Ladies fittings. For some reason all the XL and XXL stuff goes real quick, I'm not sure what that says about their clientele?

I hope you are going to mix and match them. Rod will be happy to see someone else wearing the Dorothy shoes.

Well done.
