Default New Leathers

I finally got my new leathers and can't wait to get on the track! They are Teknic 2pc Vixen Leathers. It took alot of homework and even more patience. Considering how difficult it is to find an affordable suit in the first place, let alone women's suits. But found it on a site for $200 new.

+1 because it happened to match my bike's color scheme.

Also, before I take it on the track, anybody have any reviews on Teknic gear from experience?

NICE!!!! Looking good! I only have teknic gloves. They are pretty much the bottom of the line gauntlets (got them for 25 new) but their still pretty badass gloves. Lots of reinforcement and very durable.

Nice find. For $200 I'd seriously think about buying a suit myself. You said you did a lot of research so what did you find out?

You did a good job w/ your research & shopping. Teknic is good stuff. You got a nice deal on a good suit. You'll want to break in the suit w/a few rides b/f you go to the track. I recommend wearing UA type undergarments w/ your suit to keep you cooler & dryer.

Have you gotten your back protector yet to use w/ your suit at the track? There are many good options out there.

Haha ive actually been compared to her before, but i say i win b/c im not a biyatch and i actually know how to ride my sportbike! lol

@ gotcbr - it has a back protector in it but nothin extra like a hump or anything.

@ nowensby - heres the link http://www.cyclesector.com/TEKNIC_LA...xen-ladies.htm
the site has low prices, but the customer service was terrible. But they were just the middle-man for Teknic so i guess it doesnt matter.
