    FANTASTIC!!!

    Congrats Tony, glad they fit well, now just don't give them any road rash! I'm stoked for you! Who would have thought that all this would happen and come to reality It seems so long ago when we were planning it all out!

    Oh no, not another order...he he Just let us get this one complete and see how people go. Depending on peoples interest and my motivation (took masses of organising and running around etc) might try and do one in a month mid-June? Of course we don't want to run all the m/c shops out of business

    Cheers Tony, keep in touch.

    Can it wait a bit longer? I'm about the same measurements as Tony so That bit is sweet I just need time to get the money together. Unless you would be willing to order me a set in the next one and have it be one of the "extras" and I pick them up once I've paid you back in full.

    Good idea to let people know what size leathers they got compared to what size they are.

    XL fits me. I'm about 5'9"-10". 90kg. 112-114cm chest (44-45") with 36" ish waist.

    I picked up my leathers and cordura this afternoon. I am 5"7' and weigh 75kg. My cordura was a size L and my Leathers was also a size L. Both fit comfortably but a bit tight round the calfs. The length was fine for me, just a bit of a mission taking them off. Time to lose some weight :-p

    But here are the photos.






    A big thanks to Leighton for organising the whole thing. I am very happy with the quality of the leathers.

    Bloody awesome job Wildcat! I might have to get myself ANOTHER set of space suit....

    Now... who will be the 1st to test out the leathers? I have a gold coin for who ever that does!

    Leighton, thank you very much for importing the leathers. I am very sorry I didn't get the red leathers of you. I am 158cm and weigh 45kg. I bought size Small. I got a cordura set just like the blue / black one FEINT posted up. It is slightly on the large side for me, but all the lengths and armour are in the right places.

    One thing I have realised with the cordura set, there aren't any pockets.

    Good looking gear you've got there Feint, you should be a happy man!

    So I won't be seeing you in jeans on any rides anymore I trust.

    I'm 5"11 average thin build and got the medium. Tad tight to say the least. Might try on a 'large' suit to see if that fits better, or just wait for this to break in. Everything is just tight and restricting, but I'm going to have a ride or two and see how much it slacks off. If it slacks in the right spots, then it'll be the ultimate custom fit!! Tomorrow is (hopefully) the test run!! just don't want to rip them!

    yeah no pockets is a bit of a bummer, specailly when I am paying for fuel and not riding off!!!


    oh and they are tight behind the knees, seems to be too much leather for a tight squeeze in the NC30 pose.

    agreed, no pockets will have to find a way to carry cellphone, wallet and house keys!

    If you take that little 400 of yours on the ride you can hold all the keys, phones, cameras, water bottles, etc, of the WHOLE group in that huge storage compartment!
