    Question of opinion

    Just thought I would ask before I go blowing loads of money only to get laughed at on rides... Would wearing either one of these leathers make me look like a complete squid (even though I am) especially If I'm not constantly dragging knee sliders everywhere I go? Just thought I would ask lol http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-184555278.htm

    More to the point, why do you care what others think?
    Diarrhoea is hereditary - it runs in your jeans

    If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...

    You'll get laughed at anyway so don't worry about how you'll look

    There's much better gear out there but if it's a choice between a $400 jacket with jeans or a $400 one-piece I'd take the suit....

    If you can spring for a bit more talk to Quasi (http://www.quasimoto.co.nz) and see what he's got in your size.

    One piece offers the best protection - two piece is more convienient

    Your choice.

    You guys bring up a valid point, Maybe I'm just too much into this highschool "looks is everything" mentality haha but thats how posers are born so...I'll have a look at quasi but theres a reason I'm looking at cheap gear but I guess I'll see what to do when I get some money...Thanks for the advice

    The important thing is that you wear it when you ride. If you're out for a weekend jaunt a one piece suit is fine, but it's a pain if you're commuting.

    Get some gear that you're comfortable wearing and make sure you wear it every ride. Most times the good old cordura will work just fine.

    Than about that one piece, does anyone think that will blow apart the second I hit the road?
