Some great ideas out there, and a good onrunning thread, good to let people know just what is becoming available and where the best prices are.

Me, well to start with, I have thickish leathers but they have no provision for padding, so what I am looking at getting is this sort of thing ;

The sort of stuff that can be worn under clothing, or if I am feeling particularly mind full, over the leathers. I quite like the bug like exoskeleton look. Also I am looking out for motocross boots, but helmet, probably a full face road type lid.
