who has a 1 piece suit but do not track?...

gitoy · November 16th, 2012, 04:50 PM

i can get a dainese laguna seca pro p. 1 piece suit for $500 in excellent condition, hardly used...

now i don't track so i am thinking why get it...but i do twisties and canyons here in socal...

so guys, should i or shouldn't i?....i am so

csmith12 · November 16th, 2012, 04:53 PM

Do et!

broilmebk · November 16th, 2012, 05:26 PM

Killer deal. It would be great for even just twisties or canyon runs. Orrr this will be your push to get on the track

gitoy · November 16th, 2012, 05:40 PM

i already have a 2 piece that is more practical and convenient...

i guess the price is so good that i can't pass it up and it will be good for posing

and give me added protection...

with the inconvenience of a 1 piece will i use it enough?...i guess i will find out...

rojoracing53 · November 16th, 2012, 06:03 PM

I use my 1-piece for fun rides all the time. Only problem is I look like the blue ranger

tuan3742 · November 16th, 2012, 07:16 PM

more protection couldn't hurt you, unless it doesn't fit lol

gitoy · November 16th, 2012, 07:18 PM

so guys, do you ever go to a cafe, store, etc., in a 1 piece?...how weird does it get?...

Trailerboy531 · November 16th, 2012, 07:43 PM

Is this the 1-piece that guy has been trying to sell for months but can't because it's big? size 58? I've seen it on OCMoto and SoCalMoto. It's a great deal - just hard to find someone it fits. I have the Laguna Seca Pro and I LOVE IT. BUY IT. I've gone to subway in a one piece after riding Ortega, it wasn't weird at all. Maybe some day you will track with it anyway?

Either way $500 for a $1200 suit is a great deal and if you have the money get it!

Haha, I think the 1-piece would be LESS weird. I go to coffee shops in my two piece a lot, and of course I take my jacket off. But then I'm just a dude in tight leather pants! So at least with the one suit, it's always clear why you have it on.

Little Green Machine · November 16th, 2012, 08:27 PM

GO GO POWER RANGER! Anyways, wouldn't a one piece be more of a bother for just riding about the canyons and such? It is a deal for sure, but what about bathroom breaks?

Edit: A one piece or two piece would not such an issue, unless you ride the green two wheeler leaning against the rail behind you? LOL!

It's only weird for everyone else the first time around. Keep going to the same places for a while before moving on and they get used to it quickly enough. Show them that all riders on sport bikes are not the typical stereotype.

JeffM · November 17th, 2012, 11:05 AM

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Tracked my one-piece suit once. Wear it for canyon runs all the time. Screw it if people think I look weird. I ride, they don't.

Whiskey · November 17th, 2012, 02:41 PM

For that price jump on it (once it's a decent fit).

I wear a 2 piece leather suit zipped together pretty much every time I'm on the bike, fast spins, going to work, to the gym, to the shops ect.

The only odd thing is that a couple of coworkers were surprised when they first saw it hanging in the locker room, as I hang it up zipped together with the boots beneath it (once or twice I've left it sat it up on a chair). It can look like the invisible man standing in the corner, which freaked out a couple of people

I'd go for a 1 piece if I had the funds for it.

Dat suit...get it if it fits you!

Miles_Prower · November 19th, 2012, 01:25 PM

Do ittttt!! I don't ride track either (yet), and yes I've gone into stores and have had people stare, but people stare at anything that is unusual anyways. I got frozen yogurt once and when I walked in the entire store turned at stared (no lie). On fun rides and when hitting the highway, I always wear it. I also ride better for some reason, I grip the bike better and it's easier to stay loose. Plus I know if I come off, I won't (hopefully) get as mangled as wearing other stuff.

As far as bathroom..well, go before hand lol.

NDspd · November 20th, 2012, 07:08 PM

Where's the best place to look for these suits on discount. I just can't see spending $1000 for a good quality suit. I mean I don't want to get a 40 year old or $200 piece of crap, but I can't spend that much.

I've been looking at Kobe or Vanson...any other good brands?

gitoy · November 20th, 2012, 10:49 PM

i bought the suit!...

...here is a new one...

http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=7537

i can not stand up all the way (kind of like a cave man) or my balls get squashed...but the riding position is very comfortable...rode back 40 miles on the freeway with the suit on and felt like rossi...lol...

looks like i will be using this exclusively for twisties and canyons if i do not want to be stared at...

sportbiketrackgear or maybe revzilla?

You can get a Cortech for about 500.

btw, if your balls get squashed standing up, that means it's pretty much the right size, if it fits well on the bike too. Mine is the same way!

Trailerboy531 · November 23rd, 2012, 07:21 PM

sportbiketrackgear has a Held suit for $850 some odd dollars that looks really nice. Check it out! Dainese suits are also 15% off this weekend but the Laguna Seca Pro still comes to just over $1000.

Once I saw that sale I wanted to get that suit so bad AUGHHHHHHH must resist.

I bought the Dainese Knee V guards instead. I wish their Druids ST gloves were out, they look hawt.

If this is the metric us guys use to test proper fitment, what do women use? Are prosthetic balls used for squashing? Or does it just squeak when they fart?

Wait... Women don't fart...

Custom? You won't be sorry for going Spartan. So many riders have these and love them. Especially the bigger guys.
