    track suit shopping

    The tanning process just delays the inevitable. As well, "you" can delay that decaying process by how you look after it. Now it can dry out and have dry rot,, or it can be so damp and wet it can just rot that way. I have actually taken leathers that people have brought me to repair and pulled...

    track suit shopping

    No worries there,, been repalming hockey gloves for 30 years and they have everyone beat so far! The biggest issue is the UV and sweat. Worst thing on any fabric is those two things. People ride more and leathers are made thinner. As well you can stitch a piece of leather to rotten leather and...

    Perforated leather overpants?

    You'll probably not find anyone making pants with a side zipper. Too much grief. You'd have the zipper bending at the waist then the knee.Zippers today don't like bends. It would also mess you up bad if you slid down the road on it. Pretty much a design flaw that would create returns/repairs.

    Custom suit ?

    If you buy a "Track" suit and it is a specific track suit,, you should not be able to stand up comfortable. The suit is made to fit you on the bike,,not when you go to the mall. A two piece is a more comfortable all round cut so it is multi functional but not perfect for track riding. Leather...

    track suit shopping

    didn't even know Bates was still around. Bates,Vanson,, bullet proof old school,, heavy,heavy suits. The armour in the Bates is not as good as the Vanson [Just working on a Vanson] But personally I would put aftermarket armour in any suit. Vanson/Bates will last you a long time and take some...

    Wow,, could I ever make a lot of enemies ,, I'm sorry but this is painful,, Think I just bit my tongue off. Taichi,Spidi ,dainese,Spyke all fit more of a slender build,, then there are suits that fit more north american builds and also those of us that don't have that perfect figure. So what...

    Custom suit ?

    Pilot has the best record for fit and finish of all the custom makers. I base that opinion on the "custom" suits that have been brought to me for altering that don't fit! You would be surprised as to that number! Racer 5 does off the rack but may do custom colour.

    PUG is the best,, it's a military based product and designed to do a lot. Great product.

    What to wear under leather suit

    That is a double edged sword. Because we have probably as many days you would need ventilation as not. When you are behind the windscreen you get minimal air. So it's really only your cool down lap you get benefit. But, that can be one big lap if you're hot.

    What to wear under leather suit

    If your suit is ventilated then a moisture wicking fabric will work as the air flow will help move the moisture. If you have no ventilation then anything nylon-spandex-ish is all you need to help get your suit on or off. Most of the more expensive stuff needs air flow to work better. No...

    You can use a current RACE,SOAR,WERA,CCS,CSBK license to show you "have"a current license but most organizations will not allow you to use it. WERA was the first they would give you 2 FREE weekends on your current license, cut the corner off the top. After that you had to buy a WERA license...

    Ram 1500 Eco Diesel Review

    I had to wait just over 2 months for mine. So they run late anyways. But the dollar would hurt any dealer that is buying inventory now,,I would think.

    Ram 1500 Eco Diesel Review

    On a Positive note, I saw 8.3 liters per 100 last week on the highway and am averaging 11.9 liters per 100 now city/hwy. This tank with 3.9 rear end I could see between 950 and 1000 K,, but that will depend how much city I do. With this rear end I do expect to see a bit less then with the stock...
