The start of a beautiful thing
IN November of last year, we undertook to find the best pair of gloves on the market for under £100.

Because 'it's possible' was a good enough reason for this chap

This is Leon Camier's GSX-R1000, looking slightly worse for wear after a seriously fast crash at Phillip Island during testing.
In the background you can see the airfence, gravel trap and if you look hard enough you'll see the circuit.
