I think Eurobike Wholesale import Alpine Star, and Whites Powersports is the Arlen Ness importer. Whites bring in some jackets - not sure - but I think it's just these three. Prices are probably out of date by now too.

I brought an Arlen Ness Riding jacket from Cycletreads on Saturday, they dont have the leather range in stock but might be able to sort somthing out...

Very impressed with the jacket, Now its time to save up for some track gear.

Cheers for the quick replies... Im also wondering what leather suit (one piece) i should look at getting from Alpinestars, and from Arlen Ness???

My plan of attack is to have a look and see what things look like in NZ, then buy them in LA (if it works out cheaper)...

Most of you know my riding, the leathers, for the majority, are going to be used on the track with the odd road blast... From Alpinestars im leaning towards the Racing replica suit, SX-1 or TZ-1...

Suggestions???

No way you can get alpinestars for that price. Maybe if you imported from the overseas.
I was quoted like $2400 for the tz1 2 piece suit like 4months ago :psst:

He asked about a generic price for an average set of leathers. Not Alpinestars.

I'm sick of people assuming I speak out of my arse. At least I can read.

You'd be looking at least $1200-$1400 for Alpinestars.

I've been looking at this site here: http://www.motorcycletoystore.com

Seems to be pretty good, they sell alpinestars and you can get a pretty decent one landed in NZ for about $1500 or so, alot cheaper than over here. But the suit I have my eye on is this one here. (http://www.motorcycletoystore.com/sport/view_product.php?product=MOTHWDBX15&PHPSESSID=18a1becd4f15288a0ccfce66057e4d26) At the current exchange rate it would cost $1200 +GST (in NZ dollars) to get over here. I'm not 100% sure on the brand but the eye logo and that other star sorta one is on it and I'm pretty sure they are arlen ness. I haven't been able to find much info on the net about it, but its made of kangaroo skin so sounds pretty good to me.

Why don't you get Colemans to get them in to try on? I'm sure they won't mind you buying elsewhere. :rofl:

Hey Chris, contact Andy1 for the Alpinestars leathers. He might be able to hook you up with a deal.

That's not how you play the game!! You're supposed to retort in kind, and tell me that everything I say smells like arse, so why should you listen to me!

No hard feelings Suney.

*sic
7th September 2005, 14:41
it sucks but yea you can get a 2 peice suit of alpinestars over from teh states at under half the cost of getting it here! thats even including shipping and GST tax! (if you get stung at customs)

only have to wait 8-10 days and its at your door!

i wish we could get decent prices here i would rather give my cash to a NZ stockist.. but money talks
