You're very pro Touratech, which is a suprise
Never been anti TT. I like some of their kit. I can't afford some of their kit. I'd not put another penny into TTUK's pocket even if Steptoe donated it to me.
My issue with TTUK was with the owner and the ongoing legal matters are well... ongoing.
Never had a problem with Germany or the other TT locations. Can't judge the suit because I don't have one.
I've met Si and Lisa and seen how hard they work a room to sell a few t shirts which help fund their incredible journey.
What I am against is the sort of comments that set out to belittle these guys because they were chosen to test the suit out. However, if the suit falls to bits and Si and Lisa carry on enthusing, then I'll be happy to join in with the criticism that has been laid on them already, before they've done little more than pull the damn thing on (something they themselves make very clear).
Pricing policy at TTUK... well I gave you all a link to the Facebook, so you can make your feelings known. I made my feelings known when I worked there. I no longer work there.
What I found most difficult to overcome was that when i joined, no one at TTUK was an adventure rider... racing across the Dakar is a totally different riding style to travelling around with the intention of exploring places, meeting people and experiencing different cultures.
I do like the guys at Adventurebikewarehouse... now they do seem to get it, because they've done it.
