    After much nagging by the wife i have finally gone out and bought some new leathers. They are an RST two piece in black. In the pics im also wearing my new GP Pro gloves, and my comfy slippers. I have been sat in them now for about an hour and i'm not takin 'em off till we go out for summat to eat.

    No but i'm thinking of getting some "go faster" tartan stripes for the sides, boring them out to a 12.5 and fitting bigger socks. Then getting the lot set up on a rolling carpet.

    Cheers Dave, loving your work, hope you dont mind, i've nicked that and stuck it on my Facebook where i'm getting ragged also.

    Kpone, tea towel mate, tea towel. The soiled pants are piled up behind the door.

    Slippers? They are moccasin style with a lace so you can make them fit properly and so they dont fall off when goin upstairs. Anyone know a good rolling carpet where i can get them set up?

    Carpet Right have got rolling carpets you can use for set up.

    I use them to tune my rugby boots.

    You get a print out from their Lyno.

    I've had my old leathers since 2002. I've bounced down a couple of tracks in them and only broke my pelvis and wrist a bit, so they are a little bit worse for wear. There is some silver gaffa tape on the left arm (from the wrist breaking incident) that i had to colour in with marker pen so no one on track days could see it much. They are ventilated, not from new, just from tarmac. But they are broken in and are very comfy. The wife has just got fed up with seeing me in a set of holes joined loosely with bits of leather and told me to get a new set. This was about 2 years ago and i have managed to dodge buying a new set till now. Now i've got to try to break these in before i go to Spain in June, i hate the feel of new leathers, hence my reluctance to buy some.
