I just joined Team Pro-Motion and signed up for track day April 15th. I need a full leather suit, any suggestions? What time are we meeting @ Liberty Harley? |

Look around on ebay. I got a brand new Teknic one piece that retailed for $800 and I paid $259. It still had the tags on it. Have fun on the track. Your cheeks are gonna hurt from smiling! |

I'll be riding Pocono on the 15th too. I just bought a Fieldsheer Revo one piece for $350 (list $500) from sandhillspowersports. UPS says it will be here tomorrow. I'm really nervous about the sizing. Sand Hill said I can exchange it if it doesn't fit. |

Revo is good suit. I have a brand new one for sale in the classifieds. If interested give a shout. |

You guys have to let me know when you're coming down to Summit.. I can't make the 15th (I'll just be back in country and will have a stack of work stuff to take care of).. But I hope to make some other date up there and a bunch at Summit and a few at VIR.. with all luck .. As far as suits go. A good two piece might serve you well for both street and track use. I put one together from two different parts (actually a Fieldsheer jacket and a Joe Rocket pants with some mods to the jacket to zip them together).. I need a new jacket now.. (low side late last year). Oh and remember, some of the gear you may want is also available from TPM. So don't forget to check with them, at least for price comparos. Like they said.. you'll need to make sure on sizes each make is a bit different. I go to a local shop and try stuff on, then look for a deal on that item elsewhere. You can also get a good look at what kind of quality they have. Remember, always buy the best protective gear you can afford. |

Great Izzy!!!! Can't wait to see everyone. I'm not sure when and where we are meeting. Just get in touch with me towards the end of March and we will figure it out. If anyone needs help with anything or questions please call us over at Liberty Buell (732)381-2400. |

We're also compiling a Bueller email list - so if you'd like to be informed about Track Days or Buell-related events, PLEASE send us your email address so we can add you to the list. We don't buy lists (OR SELL THEM) ever, so we only have emails of people who have either purchased something from us or asked us to email them. If that's not you - let us know by dropping me a line at michelle@libertyharley.com and I"ll make sure you get added to the list of those "in the know". :P Including your real-life name would also be incredibly helpful. |

http://www.Newenough.com has decent pricing. Also, Z-Custom http://www.zcustom.com is working on setting up the Chinese to start producing lower-cost leathers since so few people are willing to pay US companies to make them. A good set of custom leathers is going to be a bit more than $1200 E-bay can get you a set for $250 You need to figure out your metric size before checking ebay but deals can be had. |

Just bought a leather jacket (MOTOGP)to go with my leather pants (Fieldshear). Unfortunately, the zippers were different in size and length. Got a name from the store of a seamstress and she is in the process of making the zipper from the jacket match the pants. Will cost around $50. Only problem, it's 10 working days out, so hopefully, we don't get some warm riding days or I'll go CRAZY. |
