WOOHOO! Got the suit, but not the tie! ;)

EthioKnight · February 22nd, 2012, 06:18 PM

Man o' man!
I had been tracking the package for a week and when I heard the rumble of a truck outside I said to myself "don't get excited, it's just passing through"...next thing I know, the door bell was chiming and I was off the couch with my heart in my throat! Yes! With a flourish, I signed my name and trying but failing to act cool, I took hold of the package and screaming in glee, tore it to pieces to uncover my AGV race suit! With bubbling excitement (some froth around the mouth) and some underlying apprehension I flung of my clothes and shrugged into the suit!...and... It was a perfect fit! (how many of you can say that at first try?) Ok...I'll cut the narration, point is, I feel like a million dollars and during my first ride with it on, I freaking felt like I could get run over by an Abrams tank and still live to tell the tale! Here are a couple of crappy pics taken by my 86 year old neighbor

...I was so excited I forgot to put on my knee pucks

Track days are no longer a dream but a sight across the horizon!

As much **** as it catches, I am diggin' the helmet hawk.

mean dad · February 22nd, 2012, 06:24 PM

nice!

EthioKnight · February 22nd, 2012, 06:25 PM

Thanks brother...I had to fight off my zx-6r riding friend from stealing my helmet when out riding the other day

It's an eye-catcher, which is all I can ever ask for!

If I didn't have a plain white helmet, I'd be rocking a helmet hawk.

Actually, hmmmm.... white helmet hawk?

They attach via suction cup, right? I don't think I'd ride to school with the helmet hawk, but one fun rides I'd put it on. Do they even do them in white? I don't think I've ever seen a white one before.

How about a black one to accentuate your black bike? and FYI, I have a backup "clean" helmet for when I need to be more "subtle", but I rock this one to class pretty much every day. My physiology prof even commented on it before the start off class...she was like "Is that a one of a kind helmet?", I was like "I like to think so" and she replied by "I saw you riding!"....mind you, I was sitting at the very back of a semi-dark, +100 audience hall, and she saw me, need I provide more proof of the advantages of a mohawk?

Once again, I like your helmet hawk. Suit looks good

Actually No, I opted for the velcro type. I hear they're less prone to be ripped off by the wind...

saxnbass · February 22nd, 2012, 06:44 PM

Where did you get it from? I may have to look and see if they make a white one. Unless of course you want to buy me an RF1100 with a nice graphic to put a hawk on

ebay bro, where else?

Here's where I bought mine...they have several colors to choose from...yes! even white!

EthioKnight · February 22nd, 2012, 06:53 PM

damn!, it's speaks volumes that despite the title of the thread and the fact that 90% of my body is clad in leathers...only my helmet is getting the attention

saxnbass · February 22nd, 2012, 07:06 PM

$10? How long did it take to get it? How well does it seem to stay on? How fast have you gone with it (I need it to hold 100+mph)?

NDspd · February 22nd, 2012, 07:11 PM

Dude you look awesome!!! I can't wait to get my first one piece.

EthioKnight · February 22nd, 2012, 07:12 PM

It came to about $13 in my case, got it in about 4 days and it sticks phenomenally! I have gone a full week without adjusting it and the only time I do is when I switch shields. I went up to 85mph (indicated) yesterday on the back wood twisties and it didn't budge. It's awesome bro...flows and ebbs like real hair too!

I was told there were no tracks in AL, boy am I happy to hear otherwise! I'll definitely try and make it there. Thank you!

geeker · February 23rd, 2012, 06:35 AM

Nice! How much was the suit? I have the AGV Sport Willow leather pants and they are built well. I may order an AGV Sport jacket later in the year to zip to them. Or just have someone change the zipper in my jacket to match.

EthioKnight · February 23rd, 2012, 06:37 AM

The Stig Rocks!...why oh why couldn't you have found a pic that's a better representative of the Stig's awesomeness though?

...

This is more like it

It's quite the story (well not actually), A friend of a friend who bought it found that it was a bit too tight around his midriff and had it in storage while he tried to burn off some calories...well, 6 months of "supposed' hardcore workout regiment later, he still couldn't fit in it and decided to let it go. Well, I had followed his progress, or lack thereof

, and when he finally gave up, I jumped on it. He got it for $550 and I took it off his hands for $300 and a complete hardback collection of Harry Potter books

. I could have gone through ebay and probably could have gotten a used one for about $200...but I thought this was a good deal on a "new" suit, so I got it. I like your idea, I also have an AGV leather jacket and was thinking about doing the same, before I came across this. good luck

LMAO!! Duuuude...I have been staring at your post for 5 minutes now, and I really don't have a retort! I was wearing briefs...so perhaps my entire scrotum was to one side ??? sh!t man, I don't know

"camel-toe" is so strictly feminine that I feel like my manhood, which is quite ample btw, is being questioned!lol
You have obviously been in and out of these kinda suits before, care to give me some tips on wearing them in a "manly" manner

It's all good. Some people can't help if their junk looks like a camel-toe. Nothing you can do but flaunt it.

EthioKnight · February 23rd, 2012, 03:16 PM

haha! wow, never thought I'd see the day when I'd feel uncomfortable on a virtual forum...well, thank you Sir, now every time I don the suit, I shall feel self-conscious about my member...thank you indeed!
