Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

After putting my long term Dainese race suit into semi retirement last year I need a replacement.

This will be mainly for track days, as I prefer a two piece on the road. It's easier for the paramedics to get off.

This has caught my eye. Arlen Ness stuff is decent, black and white is a good combo and I like the price. It's also got elbow sliders so I can make nice little sparkles as I slide off at Craners.

Any feedback on the brand or other suggestions welcome. Colours are black, white and grey. Anything else sees you banned for a week.

Btw I like that suit in the link. V nice.

Does it smell of awesomeness and have scuff marks to scare off other riders?

Alpine stars stuff is nice alough it didn't fit me
I like Allen ness kit

No. It used to but I think I've sniffed them too much and worn them out

I had my crash in Arlen Ness so I know it holds up.

Dainese seem to have changed their suits so they're long in the body. Not a pleasant fit any more.

Wow that's an amazing price.

I would look no further and just get it mate. As you say good make, good design and great price. If you leave it sods law they will sell out of your size especially at those prices.

A mate at work bought alpine stars leathers from that company and said the service was good. He tried to get UK dealers to price match but they couldn't get close and the way the euro is at the moment I'm not surprised.

Agree....that's a really good price....I'd check with them though, and make sure they're not all XXXLs or sommit daft.

Black or white....I'd prefer white cos it makes you faster....never heard of a grey suit before...sounds awful.

That will be hard to beat at that price but some decent suits on here at good prices.

Had a cheeky peek and was right first time, expensive.

I reckon they would look better on you Kwacky

Yup, I have an Arlen ness one piece. Great kwalitay, and survived an off on the road around 50 mph.. The leather torn at the elbow where the panel meets the fabric. But, it saved my arse big style.

Cheers Si

Jealous....I'd love a new 1 piece.


Prolly like a new bike too, but I'm waiting 'til after the move.

As hinted at by D41 there is nothing in my size.

Oh well, the hunt continues.
