No not leathers for fat people... I'm doing some marketing type research & I really need your guys input to offset the masses of street riders that have responded on several other motorcycle forums. I'm personally compiling all the answers into a spreadsheet for everybody to view & get an idea of what brand leathers are sold to which riders. All I need are to know is what brand you own & whether you are a Street Rider, Track Rider or Both. Please do not give a long list of information or tell us why you have them, or want you want instead etc as I will have to read all these posts & sort out the data one at a time so just the basics please. If you wear your Aerostich textile on the street & your leathers on the track etc... then for the purpose of my post just tell me you are a Track Rider & what brand leathers you have as I only want to know the main reason you wear leathers & what brand. I figure the vast majority of you guys are track only though... For example, very simply very easy to read Barnacle Bill Leathers Track Rider & thank you in advance!
what are you trying to say in your report? just because we've used/have a set of a particular brand doesn't mean we like/dislike or that they would be chosen in hindsight. dainese fieldsheer z custom alpinestar vanson track
As far as marketing is concerned what you have now speaks volumes. Your situation may be extenuating, you may have a particular suit because you got an awesome deal to good to pass up or were short on money or inherited it from your great great uncle or you may want something different or better, but the fact remains that is what you have & are using & that is the true data I am after.
hein gericke - two piece - track joe rocket textile - summer street Carhart one piece - winter street In market for one piece track.
Helston - street: for style and great construction, outstanding product. Very expensive. Kobe 1 piece - track: cheap and readily available off the rack. Would prefer a better fit, but I'm oddly shaped and will need some Barnicle Bills/Vanson/Syed custom stuff for proper fit. That'll be a few seasons and a more than a few hundred dollars away from now. -HJK
For track They started life as AGV, but have been "customized" by Barnacle Bill. Sorry for the complicated answer... but that's the way it is. They're nothing like they were off the rack. For street Joe Rocket nylon stuff.
