Hey Everybody -
So here is the deal. I am in need of riding leathers. I am in the market for a one piece suit and now have a bit of tax return to blow. I am in the process of trying on Frank Thomas suits from Cycle Gear but am getting really tired of waiting for the rigth size to arrive ("we'll have it in next week" my ass!!). Any how, I am 5'10" - 5'11" and weigh a whopping 160 with my hair wet and boots on (its how I shower).

So, Time to dig into your closet and decide which suit you are not gonna ride this year. 2008 will be my first track year (:squid:)so it is time for the armor. Im also looking for good track gloves as well so if any of you want to thin the herd let know what you have ( I think my current gloves are medium but they are kinda tight).

Thanks in advance :popcorn::popcorn:
(oh yeah, my budget is around 3 to 4 Bens)

Ive got a two piece but it may be a size too small for you.

I am 5'11" but 150 lbs and its a tad bit tight around the waist.

$200 youre welcome to try it on.

Kelbor has two fantastic offers but isnt interested in trying them. Every suit fits differently.

Kelbor lives in Eugene so it's a bit hard to just stop by for a trial fitting.

Maybe Eugene sportbike is a better place to shop then. Just a thought.

Hey Yall.....I got one!!!

Thanks for the offer and help you guys...Long story short is I ended up ordering a Hein Gericke celtic one peice suit from online - last years suit at more then 50% discount. Although the suit is kinda flashy and matches my bike....could not pass up the offer (I was kinda looking forward to looking like a pile of mismatched dirty laundry :laughing:)

I post up picutres of my moose knuckle (for all the ladies :yes:) when the suit arrives.......:hysterical:
