    Feel free have a look around - if you can find as good or better quality gear at the same price or better, I doubt it. But I s'pose it depends on what ya want. If you wanna race and them that'll let ya race say "wear leather..." well..... ?

    You sure they'll accept that? I'd check first... may have some clause like "must be up to a certain standard" or something

    Well just having a look at his site it looks like $700 for jacket pants and back protector...

    That's not too bad for a leather getup eh.

    Quasi has a 1 piece for $500, did not fit the intended original owner. They look sweet and are brand new.

    PM him.

    I hope this wasnt aimed at me Swanny as I certainly was not and am not trying to intimidate you and was only pointing out some of the good Work that MNZ do and what Drives Paul to do what he does dont take offence Dude

    No it isn't cordura doesn't provide the same level of abrasion resistance that leathers do and jeans provide no protection at all

    even with having to fork out for leathers for the majority of people it would still be far cheaper than any other class, the only reason it isn't for you is because of your size, however I may know where I can get you a 2nd hand set tht might fit,I will check and let you know

    That would be for uncontrolled track days that aren't run by a club?

    Aaaah grasshopper you will still learn that adult conversation sometimes contains questions so the other person can understand why you say things... all I was questioning was your theory that MNZ are dicks. That my dear is not a hissy fit - however your responce is a much better definition, thanks!

    With regards to my boyfreind - I dont stand behind anyone or anything including the internet... He, as in my boyfriend, is actually prepared to help you get the leathers you need, because we love racing and will support people who want to get into the sport...

    Nah sorry dude, quoted wrong post.

    I mean dick in the sense (and it is in the dictionary) to "botch or bungle up" ... "Joe dicked the party".

    I got into bucket racing because of all the old farts I know who would tell me about the fun they had and how 'open' it sounded. Then I learn about all these rules and regulations and you just wonder why motorcycle racing isn't the as good/big as it could be.

    Same could be said for plenty of other sports, etc.

    Well that was my interpretation of your involvement in this thread in light of PM's you have sent me in the past.

    If I misunderstood your intentions then I apologise.
