Finally gots me my leathers. After trying on everything under the sun I settled on Rev'IT as they fit as close to perfect as I'm going to get and the quality of the other gear I have from them is amazing.

Dianese tried to wedgie me. Spidi made me look fat (clearly built for the fuller figure ;) ) and having tried on Alpinestars when buying my bike wasn't worth the drive to Haldanes.

Was seriously considering the Quasi Racer9 but I really don't want the hump and I'm not keen on the design of the rapid. If I get a 1-piece I'll be down to see you tho Quasi!

Took them for a spin up Old North to break them in a bit. Feels so much safer snugly wrapped up instead of the looser codura gear! Can't wait to have a go on the track.

Pics of this freshly formed Mighty Morphin Power Ranger for your viewing pleasure - or amusement :sick:

But they aren't true Power Ranger Red! Everyone knows that the Red guy is always the leader of the team! :msn-wink:

So how much squiddies was it?

Thanks mate! Doing my best to show that the CBR is every bit as sexy as the R6 (and handles better to boot).

Hahah have you seen the wikipedia page? It's shockingly comprehensive.

Was $1400 all up. They took 7ish% off list price so pretty happy about that. About what I could get it from overseas from and it's supporting the locals (Motomail).

To be honest there's not really any other options for my body shape and the style I like. Was gutted the Dianese didn't fit as it's classy gear. Pricey tho.

Now just need new boots and gloves and tyres before the next trackday.. 6000km service tomorrow.

Good thing I'm saving ~$300/mth on parking and gas or this biking lark would be bankrupting me.

You look bloody mean Disco. Glad you are happy with the purchase !Good on ya !! I got utterly sick of my fat ass and my fat guts as well. Also consider - Lay off the Carbs, drink more water, stop overeating, don't over-exercise(until you can't any more), occasional meal-replacement/protein drinks.

DB - gettn a skinny wee high-performance ass.. :spanking:

Yeah I saw my pic from MotoTT in my codura and I just didn't match the bike. More importantly I want knee sliders for next time so I can use my knee to know how much lean angle I have left.

FWIW I'm going to the gym to bulk up my skinny arse so we'll all be lookin good haha.

I know.. It's killing me having the best handling and fastest (1/4 mile) 600cc supersport there is on the market.
