The emporor's new clothes...

[the_lone_wolf]

D'oh, that'll be "Emperor" then...

Well, what with the fun and excitement :rolleyes: of crashing, surgery etc, I didn't notice the large package sitting in the hallway that my boss kindly dropped off for me which contained my new, made to measure leathers!!!!

If they'd have arrived two days earlier I'd have been wearing them when I came off:smt092

You sure you and Graciepants haven't just got his and hers leathers? :-P

Nah they look very nice actually. Blumin' lucky they turned up when they did though :shock:

[Venom]

Very nice!!! Not sure about the logos atm but they'll prob grow on me.

When can you try them on and tell us how they fit.

I like these (http://www.bikesuits.com/inc/sdetail/635) 8) Time to save and I might get some next year.

Thought you were replacing the write off with a CBARRRRRGH ;)

You tart! :lol:

[wyrdness]

So how much are all of those companies paying you to carry their advertising?

[the_lone_wolf]

Not sure when my arm is going to be out of plaster but will update when I can, They took about 30 different measurements for the custom sizing and I triple checked my results so hopefully they'll be just right

Now i know i took a blow to the head but i'm not daft;)

You tart! :lol:

That's a bargain!! Maybe the org should do a group buy.

Why? my made-to-measure was less than that*















Minus the airfare, food and accomodation involved in buying from Auckland NZ :)

Them titanium bits seem like a really bad idea.

Hmmm, sliding down the road next to 5 gallons of petrol held in a thin plastic shell. What do we want? SPARKS!

At least with frame, swingarm and barend sliders all the sparky bits of bike are off the floor!

nice.... I crashed in my brand new ones and I was happy they crashed well... but annoyed I ruined them... its a bitter sweet thing....

Sweet I like them , I threw away a 1 piece Leather about a month ago , it was my first set and was made by a company called Polo years ago , I tried it on the other day and I must have grown about half a foot or they shrunk in height cos as I hoiked them over my shoulders my voice went very high . The leather was knackered on them anyway but I put them on for a giggle .... taken down the council tip an hour later and stuffed into the "Clothes for Africa" bin ;)

I can just imagine a bbc news piece in Africa and someone walks past wearing a 1-piece set of bike leathers :smt044

[the_lone_wolf]

Well.....

How time flys...

These have been sitting tempting me for a good 5 weeks now, the cast came off my arm thism orning so I had to try them on, I specifically went for the made to measure ones because I'm an unusual shape, long arms and legs with short midsection

What can I say, they fit so nicely it's uncanny - I had my doubts when i tried the trousers by themselves, they felt short, but once connected to the jacket the expanding section filled the gap beautifully, once they've stretched a little they'll be perfect

OOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Is that on any set of leathers by Halo, not just the TTC ones? Can I join the triumph forum to join in the group buy even tho I don't have a triumph?

it might be best to do what I did and PM the organiser, as at time they were struggling for numbers a bit and i helped them bump it over the minimum even though i hadn't bought the bike or made any posts yet

and yes, the price was for any suit, logos or not, 1pc, 2pc, hump or not etc etc etc

i'll update this thread if it goes ahead again:cool:

[Venom]

I have infiltrated the 675 forum, Pmed the group buy organiser and he has added me to the list if anyone wants a bargain as well.

Lone Wolf, that hump, does it get in the way of rucksacks?

Haven't hidden in them yet so no idea, from the feel of it I'd imagine that it would be quite uncomfortable
