Leather repairs

**Geemsee** · 21st January 2011, 16:12

So there I was getting ready for a full day hooning around Taupo with my mate, slipped on the old race leathers, looking good, a bit snug maybe, but hey I can still get into them right?!...just don't think about breathing or even worse, moving!

Ok, off we go ping... there goes the zip and even worse, I can't get the damn thing undone, after half an hour with the darn pliers I got them off but theres no way that zips gonna do anything anymore, so anyway, luckily I still had my road gear and so did the day in those. Not the same though, don't get the same protection and the jacket flaps all over the place over 200

.

Whats this got to do with gear? well I was a bit reluctant to just throw the suit away and did a bit of research on here and was pointed to this place: http://www.msw.co.nz

Kerry there, did a first rate job of putting a new zip in and some er extra stretchy panels

no laughing please!! Anyway, I think they look great and now I can still eat burger fuel and do track days as well!!
