Attention MotoGp Roo's

I picked up a set of MotoGP leathers from TPM at the NYC Bike Show. After returning home, I saw some posts about the Kangaroo suits coming apart at the shoulders and I sent the suit to Barnacle Bill for reinforcement stitching. I also had some things installed while it was there.
Thanks Bill, great work.

((nevermind))

 

Those who aren't sure about the MotoGP might want to consider the Teknic Speedstar 2006.....it's kangaroo and is really comfortable because of all the stretch zones and neoprene cuffs on it. You can find them on Ebay.

 

David Brown crashed at VIR this weekend & burnt a spot thru the left ass cheek of his roos. Thats the 3rd crash in these leathers & they will need to be repaired for 3rd time or replaced. They my fit well,look good & feel good. But they don't crash worth a damn.:down:

 

What brand does Mladin wear ? I noticed the announcers saying his crash was a minor lowspeed in the grass and yet his leathers were torn and flapping in the wind ...

 

Mladin is an AGV man, or is he Joe Rocket now like the rest of the AMA sheep?

 

JOE ROCKET!!!!

What suit?

 

Motogp...Roo skin..Barnacle Bill has fixed them 2 times.

 

It's probably a model that isn't available to the public...

A few years ago wasn't Haga riding with a suit that was actually 'rebranded'?

 

Well I had a 120mph crash today at VIR in my brand new MotoGP roo suit and the thing was in tatters. Strawberry on my shoulder and on my knee. These pieces of crap roos are going in the garbage. Oh and I joined the real racers club with a broken collarbone. Stuck throttle under the bridge before turn 7. Lucky to be alive.

 

Glad to hear you're "ok."

Heal quick.

 

dont waste your time buying them. i just had both of my knee caps put back into my body. yes they both came out and you can park your car in the wholes in my moto gp roo suit. the knees on the leather exploded and now i am looking at 6 months of rehab to just be able to get around. I know i wouldnt be in this situation if i had had on anything else. I should have been in a pair of shorts.

They are over cut and do not have enough hard padding in the joints, plus they grab in the areas that have too much material. I do admit that i was stupid for getting them and have been racing long enough to know better. just my 2 cents

 

Damn man, sorry to hear that Heal up, I have a Motogp cowhide suit. I hope that I dont crash:tut:

 

Moo isn't the problem, it's the 'roo suits. So crash away.

 

Lot's of BS posted in this thread but here is my buddy's MGP suit that failed also.

I'll stick with my Komodos!!
What is crazy is that this is not the first website which I have read about issues in regards to these suits.
I'll have to find the other posts I read about them.

 

Very strange how this is happening when the parent company, Arlen Ness, is known for making some of the best suits that are being worn by the top GP and WSBK riders. A lot of guys get off at 150mph on these Arlen Ness or Berik suits and have no problems but the US ones are suffering catastrophic failure. My sponsor told me not to use them either because he's already had 3 returns for these suits when they just split open at the seams on a crash.
