On Saturday the 30th of November we joined our friends at Boyd’s of Bedford for their Winter Blast. A fantastic event that celebrates independent businesses from all over. We were joined by Dirty Twins, Oily Rag, Skin and Bone Jewellery, Stiched Up Banners and of course, Boyd's themselves, to name a few.
What a fab day Steve and Josh had at the Boyd’s Winter Blast. The atmosphere was kept hyped up with some awesome bands and all the buzz around the independent traders that were there. The Winter Blast is a great time for us to catch up and hang out with our friends from the bike scene that we may not have seen since the Summer. For the show, we took products from John Doe, Pike Brothers and Carhartt along and obviously there was such a good response to the super cool Carhartt. It’s very popular in the chopper scene! The event was held at the fantastic historic venue, the Rushden Transport Museum in Northamptonshire. This definitely added to the cool vibes. Great price to attend as a punter, at around £5 (plus booking fee) in advance, £7 on the door if there were any left. This was Boyd’s final send off before closing their doors, but we sincerely hope to see them again really soon. Well done to all involved!
If you want to see what it was all about, we were featured in this video below, filmed by Tom himself.
Loving the new Level 2 D30 knee protection from Furygan as it fits my Rokker jeans better than the ghost armour I was using previously. Great service from Lou and the team at The Biker Company as always.
They're going to take a bit of getting used to as they're a different style to what I'm used to. But overall, they are a good well made boot, sturdy and most importantly for me a tall boot which will prevent my textile trousers riding up and allowing water in!
I didnt review these beautiful trousers straight away as I wanted to ride out in different weather conditions, however having now ridden in them I've got nothing but compliments for them.
Firstly the fit is excellent, i'm a size 10/12 so I opted for the 12as they came up a bit tight in the hips in a 10 and I wanted to allow for cake space when out on my bike.
Iv'e ridden with on chilly days, I've worn some thermal leggings underneath and been nice and cosy, the construction on these trousers is great as they're not as bulky as others but just as warm.
I've been in the rain with them and as they don't soak in the rain like usual textile gear, I stayed so much warmer and definitely stayed dry.
About the only downside is I wear Alpinestars Tech 7 boots and the trousers have to tuck in as they wont go over the top due to the massive shin protection in the boot, however I've tried them with my Forma Adventure boots and they go over those just fine.
So, in summary Ill highly recommend these trousers and would just like to add how incredibly helpful The Biker Company staff were in helping me make the right choices for my needs, the shop is so worth a visit when choosing the right gear.
First time I visited your shop, what a lovely place, I could spend hours mooching through all your lovely stock.
The gloves are superb, very comfortable and ideal for summer/autumn riding.
