    Any recommendations?
    I want black ones, no power ranger look alikes.
    A stylish look (My friend has the dainese luce ones which look nice but I
    know some of you have issues with them).
    Thanks to loosing 6 inches from both my waist and chest, I need a new set.
    Must be a two piece and must zip together, must have knee sliders.

    Ebay?

    Harpers in Leigh on sea are selling the old Wolf stuff pretty cheap but some
    of it is bordering on power ranger for my taste.
    Price is also a consideration.

    Go UKRM do your worst.
    This is a potential opportunity to take the piss out of peoples leathers so
    I thought you'd like it.

    I had a BKS jacket once upon a time and it was so good, someone stole it. It
    was probably cut up and used to make six alpinestar jackets.

    But doesn't thick leather tear easier in a slide?

    Why would thicker leather tear more easily in a slide?

    Have you looked in Heinz Gherkin? if you can tolerate the Tribal
    graphics they seem fine at that price.
    Their one piece race suit was well up to the job.

    That's the problem, the fucking tribal graphics. That and the wrongly
    translated
    slogans that they put over perfectly decent looking garments like 'Speed
    Puppy'
    or something like that.
    Quality looks good, price is good, style is shite IMO.

    I've got a Wolf one-piece and it seems pretty solid, and not too gay - I'd
    have another

    Getting back to the point, didn't you own a Wolf jacket?

    Get in quick, they've just gone all far eastern and shit. That's why Harpers
    are selling off
    all their UK made stock.

    They have a decent choice of styles. You can have black with black
    detailing if you like.

    I've crashed in mine <counts> 5 times on the track :
    1. First ever KRC race we did - 100 mph plus at Riches at Snett in
    2002. Not even a bruise
    2. Silly low speed off on cold Michelin Pilots in practise at Pembrey
    at less than 30 mph
    3. On one of the Team Ixie TZR250s at Cadwell. Approx 50mph
    4. On carolyn Sells' Honda 400 at Jurby. Approx 40 mph
    5. KRC at Oulton in 2004 - huge crash, being skittled from behind by
    another rider on the brakes. Broken collar bone, no other damage.

    I sent them away on the winter of 03/04 for some tidying up where
    seams were torn and the stretch fabric was damaged. I reckon they've
    done a superb job, and survived very well.

    Go and speak to Graham at GLF accessories.

    Yeah I looked at them but they look really gay in the pictures, so i should
    visit.
    Also very expensive.
    I've heard tales of him, shall I leave my wallet at home?
