I herd 1tonne was pretty good...

did an awesome job of saving my skin. no bruising or abrasions etc. Im extremely happy with my purchase having now crash tested them.

I can answer that.

Either way you will get a good product which both of us guarantee

Cant go wrong either way

think thats the first time ive seen you come right out and give other leathers a good rip, onya!!

Why?
Celtic would easily be the equal of those and custom fitted is better than off the shelf anyday

personally, because I know nothing about celtic, and dont recall having ever actually seen them, so Id go firstly for what I know. as for fit, sometimes you do find that you are a perfect fit for a standard size, not always, but sometimes!

Nothing against celtic, just dont know bugger all about them. there are certain bonuses to buying cutom made, but also certain bonuses to buying off the shelf, from a shop/distributor that has a network if anythinggoes wrong etc. six of one, half dozen of the other I guess!

I'd say his leather is of far greater quality too!

Check them out. They'll be top of my list when it comes time for a new suit.

Didnt the stitching come undone on the leg when you came off though?

about an inch or so. rather that than my skin though!! besides, Ive had other gear with stitching fall apart for no reason... but I digress...

I had a look at Celtic, seems like good stuff, would like to see some on the flesh

I bought Celtic as I needed or wanted custom fitting to ensure perfect fitting leathers and I got that from Sam at Celtic. Otherwise I would have bought Qmoto and on a number of occasions I tried on and was impressed with the quality of the product. If you have a normal profile body then Qmoto would be your first choice if not custom made by Celtic. If you want to see how some of the other brands are made then visit Sam and ask him to show you what he is repairing.

Re Sam and Celtic, I committed to using and selling 1 Tonne gear based on the FACT! that Sam inspected my leathers first as to the quality of the sticking and looked me in the eye and said

They are good and safe equiptment That is why I use them and sell them.

Shaun, do you use off the shelf 1-tonne stuff or have stuff custom made?

My race set are made of KANGAROO HIDE ( Unbelievably light and STRONG) and custom made to my size, which any one can have made through Nathan @ 1 Tonne- It was Kangaroo hide leathers I used when I raced the Britten.

My test pair are normall of the shelf leathers

Shaun Harris Motorcycles 742 Beach Rd Browns Bay will be stocking 1 Tonne off the shelf stock with Private fitting room to try gear on in and a mirror to make sure you still look Kool

Here is a Shot of Current Racer and NZ Champ Nick Cole giving the boys in the Aussie Superbikes a run for their money.

This is his new V3 Qmoto Suit, featuring the best stitching (next to celtic) and the best armour in the world KNOX, full custom print and leather work, even a nice NZ flag on the top of the hump

Does the private room have pole dancers?

Saw some of the Handriod gloves the other day and I think they have Kangaroo leather palms. They were the most amazing looking glove Ive ever seen.

I would own a pair in a heartbeat.
