    Well guys.

    After much thought...... I decided to buy the Dainese one piece (I was already in love with it lol), Both the Dainese Importers and Bayride, Glen the sales guy have been awesome, ordered in some suits to try on, boots, and helmets.

    The price I paid was really competitive and saved me some hassle. I also grabbed the latest Shoei XR 1100. Tekniks Gloves with a wrist cuff.

    Quasi made an awesome offer, and it was really tempting, but after some thought, I decided I wasn't ready to have a custom suit for a couple of reasons! And I rung Bret last week and discussed this with him.

    After really good advice, and heaps of thought, my 2010 250 Ninja arrived last Friday (Black Betty Bam a Lam) from Mount Eden Motorcycles, thanks Chris and Korn!!!!

    Now the holdup is boots, ordered in some white G ones but they won't fit under nor over, doh!!!


    Anyone know of a good pair of Boots that fit under Dainese double zipped legs, with full protection and sliders? (As opposed to Dainese boots, but may have to roll with those)

    Do Not Listen To What I'm About To Write!!!


    I have the same issue with boots and leathers........ I cut the shin armour out of all my pants, I figure the boots will have enough armour in the shins for protection, otherwise I can't get boots to go over or under..... (I know someone will growl me for suggesting that to you, but it works), then take them to a leather repair and get them to sew your knee armour in place so it doesn't slide down your leg when you put your leathers on.

    Oh and
    PICTURES PLEASE!!!!!!!!

    My goodness, you will raise the fashion bar slightly won't you?

    The regulars will have squirt a bit of paint on their scuffed plastic, and wipe the spooge off their jackets.

    Have fun out there!

    Lol, well I didn't mean to, but after looking over Trade me, I thought meh, I'll get new stuff, wrapped in cotton wool with some armour. Had enough good people around me recommending and giving straight up and good advice. (After giving me the WTF face!)

    I have no doubt I'll be pulled down a peg or two being a No0b, my gear will get a hiding no doubt lol!!!!
    I really miss Motorcycling, I just want to have a little fun and peace in my own zone away from traffic. And I won't be racing (hmmm yet???), just a couple of Trackdays in the slow group!
    Cheers Dude!!

    Just a note - I recently did an ad for motomail - they are giving a free track day at Hampton Downs with race suits at the moment.
