    Yeah MR you can check out Motomail, they have Spidi, Alpinestars and Spool..... Forbes and Davies have Nazran (which i think are good considering i have had both low speed and high speed crashes in them) which are cheap and MIR's like Jimbo's which are bloody nice...... Colemans is a F & D dealer..... Other than that it will have to be Trade Me or T & E......
    See Robert Taylor for any Ohlins requirements www.northwest.co.nz
    Thanks Colemans Suzuki
    Thanks AMCC
    I use DID Chains and Akrapovic Exhausts

    MR-give me a call -4444470
    I might be able to get ya a deal on a MIR set -New

    I've gotta tell you though dude a lot of good looking suits are actually total shite.
    There are a few things to check for in a race suit
    double stitching,double even triple layers of leather on impact/wear points,padding/armour on shoulders/knees
    A good suit will fit you like a glove,and move with your body.
    A decent race suit will make the difference between racing again that day or not.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    I think only the top racers get their suits made just for them cause they can spend the $$$$ with the help of sponcers...
    Mitchell leathers in Chch used to do a tailor made 1 pc suit for around $1100
    thats was about a year ago,good quality work,although sometimes it takes a while for them to be done.

    I've seen quite a few sets of his work and think they're as good as anything else I've seen.

    I used to have a Scarlatti set (until i put on weight :-(
    Very well made - he is now out in Glass Road in Hillsborough when I inquired a couple of years back. Was listed under The hughes design company (under T)
    Price for a new set was aroudn $1300+ then - made to measure. I ended up with an AGV set for $800. If I had the money, I would have gone tailor mades again, and would prefer it to a set of Dainese at $2k.

    Thoes tailor made and MIR suits sound like really good value. I would'v gotten them if I wasn't getting a new set from Andy ex Japan... I would'v got the MIR leathers still if it had MR written across it and not MIR
