| Re: Spidi or RS Taichi?? Received a nice box via UPS yesterday. The RS Taichis appear to be verrrryyyy nice. Very well constructed and comfortable. Nicely armored. The leather seems to be alot more pliable than other leathers I've seen....Fit similar to the AGVs I had with maybe just a bit more room in the legs and a$$. I'll be breaking them in tomorrow at the streets of willow along with my new kushitani GPR4 gloves and new Norick X11 if it arrives today (which it should according to tracking info.) |

| Re: Spidi or RS Taichi?? I got my proto-one a few days ago and it is quite nice... Better than any other leathers I have seen around. I think that your deal was hard to go wrong with  |

| Re: Spidi or RS Taichi?? Attended a track day yesterday....The new Taichi leathers are awesome! Didn't even need any breaking in. Feel sweeeeetttt. The Shoei X11 far exceeded my expectations. It is an AWESOME helmet. SOOO comfortable and vents very well. I had the XSPII (shoei's top of the line prior to the X11) prior to this and there is absolutely no comparison. The X11 is night and day. |
