Re: Which Leather Suit?

Thanks for asking - I actually was offered a deal on a full custom suit, referred by one of the members here. Ordered earlier today from dvx leathers. Should be ready in about 5 weeks, and I can't wait!

Mat now wears Joe Rocket (took Nickys slot), so there goes that theory.

Re: Which Leather Suit?

Here's my design - whaddya think? Colors will be red, black and charcoal gray. I wanted something bold but not too wild.

Re: Which Leather Suit?

Nice design bwhip, and of course, I like the colors.

Not to rain on your parade though, 5 weeks from now in Idaho would be like 5 weeks from now in Minnesota.

Sooooo... I guess you will be wearing the new leathers in front of the TV, playing PS2 or X box motorcycle games just like me???

Of course, you gotta break those leathers in,... yeah, that's what I keep telling my wife.

C'mon - it'll be at least 40 degrees or so in five weeks. That's rideable - right? Wearing it in front of MotoGP2 on the X-Box - great idea! Helmet and boots, too!

Re: Which Leather Suit?

I, too think that's a pretty neat design. I might suggest swapping the black and silvery gray, just because the darker the leathers the hotter they are. But that's just me.
