Default Re: Poor quality Alpinestars kit

The wear you see on the gloves is circa 6k ,no crashes. had to **** about with italian service centre too but they reckon they'll be with me by the 20th , meaning like a months wait.
Speedplay guess they may have had a high volume of work in the summer thanks to the a* sporting weekend warriors

They were sent off before the summer lol

God knows when the summer claims will be sorted.

I cant believe that a company will mess about with sending stuff backwards and forwards across europe before they replace anything.
If I hadn't bought new boots, I would have missed the whole summer.

would still be cheaper to keep it in the UK
I was told that they would look at it to decide to either replace it, refund it or repair it.
REPAIR IT?! lmao
