Alpinestars were only 1.1-1.2 thick

Buy yourself a good helmet from a leading manufacturer, I wouldn't pay £40 quid for a new helmet to save a few pound, when in my eyes my head is priceless.

Good quality gloves and boots are also essential.

My suit is the same the miguel Duhamel of AMA used last season if i remember correctly.

Also BSB team Virgin Yamaha all use them

Cheers Darryl
Alright so far im leaning on Joe Rocket for a 2 piece suit....what do you think of ICON for a helmet....am i really better off spending the extra 300-400$ for an ARAI or SHOEI? Are sliders important to purchase also?
