Jacket, other gear (boots, gloves) on loan basis!

[Forsooth]

Sad story

Got my license on Friday. Woo-hoo etc., it's over in the 250cc forum. I'd ordered a bunch of gear off ridersdiscount which was meant to arrive around the same time. I'd just moved house, from a number 23 to a number 22 (on a different street), and so accidentally put down "23 new street" on the order form for ridersdiscount. No biggie. Went across the road to number 23 and had a chat to the nice old lady there and asked her to sign it when it came.

When it did come, the mail guys who were subcontracted through some god-knows chain of employment wouldn't accept her signing it for someone who didn't live there (cue expletives). So the box was stamped "return to sender" and flung back across the atlantic all the way back to the U.S. According to ridersdiscount return to sender is pretty unweildly and I could be waiting many weeks for my gear (boots, gloves, jacket). I mean, the box was literally 20-bloody-feet from my house, and now it has to go back to the U.S. because it doesn't have a tracking label. I was absolutely shattered and am having to use every ounce of self control to not get out there on the bike.

Bike, jeans, and helmet are all good to go but would love to source a bit of extra gear on a loan basis before I get out there. If you've got something sitting around gathering dust, I'd love to take it off your hands for a month or two (shouldn't be any more than that). Can renumerate with brew, cash, or awkward gushing. Up to you really.

I don't know my exact sizes, but I'm 6'1", bout 80kg. Medium-ish jackets seem to fit well, though they're short. Sizes 12 shoes, long hands.

Thanks for any help guys!!
