Official BMW motorcycling apparel has always been some of the highest quality kit available and these new 2015 Double R racing gloves confirm that. In fact, these are made in Germany, say no more.

They’re made from extra thick leather enhanced by the titanium knuckle guards and outer wrist protectors, and they look absolutely splendid as well.

You’ll also notice the two outer fingers are joined to prevent your fingers parting in a horrible manner during a crash, then you’ll end up with a salute like Spock from Star Trek, if you know what we mean?

How flash do these new Berik race gloves and boots look? The yellow bits are actually ‘Day-Glo’ yellow and we all know how cool that colour looks on Rossi’s race suit for example, right?

The 2.0 gloves are made from top quality leather and offer more protection than a million condoms, but obviously in a different manner. If you like hard knuckle protection that could fell a charging elephant, then these gloves are for you?

The boots are equally as protective and impressive and have a ‘hinge’ system to allow for easy ankle movement, and they’ll go nicely with the vibrant glove colour as well.

But, the best thing of all is the price, just compare them with ‘other famous brand names’ and you’ll see what we mean?

Price: 2.0 gloves R2,200    2.0 boots R2,600

We all know that the retro Ducati Scrambler is now for sale in SA, but how are these cool new accessories to go with it?

We have, or you can have, an ‘army’ style watch, which will look sweet on anyone’s wrist. A very special jacket made by clothing specialists, Spidi. It’s made from a ‘diver’s suit’ material, with hood, and comes with an army camo’ body warmer that can be worn separately, which is cool, or more precisely, hot.

The Boots are made by TCX (whoever they are) and have a suede texture and a perfect retro design – we really like those. And then to compliment them you can have this fancy key ring to hang, er, keys from, around your belt.

So, even if you can’t afford the bike why not own some of these timeless Ducati products instead, eh?

Price: Compass watch R2,215   Spidi Outdoor jacket R4,575   Cross Country boots R2,215    Skyhook key-ring R132

If you happen to be very short, for one reason or another, and can’t ride a full sized motorbike, don’t worry, Triumph have the answer.

Yes, this tiny (about knee high to big people) Speed Triple replica will undoubtedly pass away many hours trundling around the garden, with absolutely no fuel bills, cool or what?

It has real pneumatic tyres and covered in top-class lead free paint, so you and the dog can chew it without fear of going to the hospital with a blue face and a frothy mouth.

Price: R1,870
