I thought id my Spyke suit was going to last a life time . Fitted like a glove till i quit smoking , gained 3 stone and now i need a new 1 before the sping Any 6ft , 11st riders on here looking for a top of Spyke's line 1pc leather race suite ??? Going cheap
Tried spyke, alpinestars, spidi and now just get wolf gear got a 2 piece set which is 3 years old and still looks new and a one piece kangaroo set which I've had for a year and are the most comfortable leathers I have owned, also have kangaroo gloves which are very good. Everyone is different so I'd go try some on first and get the ones your most comfortable in they may be GP £1000 leathers but if the don't fit right you will hate them and it's expensive to get wrong Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Really? That's bad news. There've been rumours on and off for ages that they were not doing well, but they be always seemed to have hung on.
If your referring to Crowtree as I gather it's more down to them both wanting to slow down and reduce their workload, they still look after current customers as they put my Honda logo on to replace the Yamaha one, but yes a shame!
I just bought last years Dainese Stripes 1 Piece for £499 from MCA Leicester. Absolute bargain when you consider they were selling at £699 only two months ago. Oops just bought some Alpinestars GP pro gloves hope they last at least a season at £100! :s
As i said they have stopped taking on new customers. My pair & my old boys pair are still looked after by them, after all i am 30 seconds from the unit..
Had Dainese 2pc which the stitching fell apart in a couple of places within a couple of months,had them repaired under warranty but didn`t go well with that either. Got shot of them & bought Alpinestars 1pc, love them, should have got them in the first place.........
I have BKS made to measure 1 piece. Top quality but expensive. Also Dainese 2 peice replaced my Teknic 2 peice I had for 5 years. Also re he Dainese gloves, I have holed mine in 18 months but pund them to be so comfy. Ok I don't have the full metal.
Start smoking and loose the wight mate, you could cross the road tomorrow and get hit. Life's to short. Enjoy life. Live it
Ive got Alpinestars RC-1. Very pleased with it. Great quality, zip is perfect. Nice and tight in the arms and upper body, which i like.
I have a Dainese 2 piece suit, and it's bloody great. The only thing I did not like was theer was no back protector with it so I bought a Knox one, great bit of kit.
According to Dianese, I was supposed to get a free back protector with my jacket, but Bridge Motorcycles claimed they weren't a participating dealer. When I showed them their name on the Dianese advert they just said 'Dianese are always doing that' and wouldn't budge. They sold me a back protector for half price. I emailed Dianese to moan and never got a response.
Aye I know that there is a slip in the back for a protector but FFS the price you pay you would have thought they would give you one!! I also use RST Textiles which are bloody great, so maybe next time I will buy RST leathers! Just to see how they compare. I use Alpinestar gloves and have never had an issue with them.
My RST pro sports survived a 70 mph off at silverstone, stiches held together, .......good leathers for the money would well recommend again.....
looking for a new set of leathers myself, thought about rst tractech, or alpinestars monza, both 2 piece, not too expensive, have had 2 sets of spidi leathers in the past i cant fault them, excellent quality, but expensive
