Lots of people have asked to see my leathers as i had made to measure. Well, they were finally ready on monday so i drove up to sheffield on friday and picked them up. I havent used them yet so cant tell you what they're like to ride in, but i'm currently sitting in the trousers looking like the back end of a pantomime horse trying to wear them in lol - not sure i can even get my leg over the bike atm!
I designed the suit myself - i copied the idea from an alpinestars one piece i liked, and it has:
full forcefield armour
2 colours - black and white leather
kevlar where i wanted
stretch panels over the knees and round the back
knee slider panels (anyone wanna donate me some sliders?)
calf zips corresponding to how my boots zip up (so no zip on zip action
)
360 degree zip (suprisingly easy to do up, no fiddling around) if i wanna do racing etc
il add more as i remember
i was quoted 5-7 weeks, but it actually took 10, which personally i thought was taking the p!ss but i dont know how long these things take to make
required 2 fittings - one when the order was taken and a second 2 weeks before it was finished
cost: £620
(excuse the background of my sisters messy bedroom but her mirror is better than mine andd th fact the pictures are massive)
