Moto X Clothing Shops

[ExpatinIstanbul]

Can anyone tell me if there are any good moto x clothing shops in the East Mids, particularly around Nottingham?

I'm flying in from Turkey and only have Saturday available for shopping and I need body armour, enduro jacket / pants and moto x jersey / pants. I'll be popping into Hein-Gericke but I'm hoping there's somewhere else with a good selection.

hein gericke are a bit shit for motocross stuff mate, particuarly body armour.

You might want to try firstmx in coalville. They are pretty good and will have everything you want and more in.

I've found it really tough to find decent stocks of this sort of stuff in real shops. I've ordered most of my stuff on-line (other than my TRG boots from HG) from http://www.bifracing.co.uk and http://www.dirtbikebitz.com/. Not a great help when you've only 1 day in the country though sorry.

I would thoroughly recommend www.dirtbikebitz.com as well. I live in France, where motoX is really popular with the kids, but women's MX clothing is non-existent. Boots, for me, were a particular problem and, of course, I really wanted to try before buying. In the end I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of Thor Quadrant boots from Dirtbikebitz. They had to order them in for me but, even so, they got to me in France within 7 days.

Later, we ordered some basic body armour. My husband was in the UK for a couple of days. I placed the order on Friday afternoon, and John was due to fly home at 7am on Wednesday morning. Dirtbikebitz managed to get our kit to his mum's Surrey address on Monday.

Mail order really isn't possible, as I've had problems in the past with stuff not arriving on time and me having to pay extra to have it shipped out to me. I also prefer to try things on, being a bit of a weird size and shape.

I've looked at 1stMX and they seem to have a decent range.

Get on the phone to Andy at 1stMX
tell him your situation,then go and see him - if he has'nt got it in stock etc... he'll get it for you AND ship to Turkey. But he'll need to know that you're genuine etc.

The local lads dont use them though `cos the gloves dont have enough thumbs for them do they Vil ......

I took a ride out to MiddletonMX in Ripley the other day and was really impressed. Had loads of stock in most sizes.

Give them a call - their website isn't up to much but the details are on it.
