I bought a two piece set of leathers at week end and wore them for first time out on bike. The change in riding style and attitude was incredible, It was like some one flicked a switch changing my riding style from reasonlably cautious to “oi you, yep you in the cage get outta me way”.
The leathers are not the best make but they fit and at my size thats a bonus, lots of swimming and weight lifting when younger have made me barrel chested*.
They are armoured and I need to start gettin me knees down. Any one else find new confidence or a change in attitude from new kit ?
hey guys I am also “cough cough” barrel chested and thought I would have to hit the gym before I would be allowed to hit a track day (need to wear a full leather suit 1 or 2 piece) but I recently came across this site: http://www.gimoto.co.uk, suits made to measure, so no need to go gym now! can spend the time riding! Although in leathers i might look like a sea lion riding a bike…
i was exactly the same when i broght my two piece leathers (decided not to go for one piece as too many people complain it takes ages to get everything out when going to the toilet) and since, i have got my knee down, practising wheelies, and generally riding much better!
