    He Has 2x Trees and a Power Comander/Yoshi pipe..(But that wasn't enough)

    The Nitrous is the cheapest HP.

    Why on earth would you wear shitty gear like that when trying to break the speed record!!!?

    No offence to anyone who wears that stuff. But come on!!
    Dude the Man has like 4Sets of leathers..

    One Quasi
    One Nortech...(And Drag racing is fine in these)
    One Spool
    One Other

    Problem is how many do you take to Bonniville(In case they won't allow one or the other)

    And he will be wearing only one, thats QUASiMOTO , why ?

    Nortech arent good enough, flap in the wind ( drag from thin leather)
    Spool are thin and have Keprotech as well as some PErforations, plus Speed hump, all NOT allowed in his class

    We have had to make him a custom set specifically for the salts, and he will be wearing ours only.
    The Spools where a pile of crap, good one darbis, charge him as well ya tight cunts !!

    TV3 will be doing a documentry as well so that will be great viewing.
