NOPE!!! :rant:

:laughing:

that kanji is "ten" meaning sky or heaven.

bec that's how i feel when i ride. i feel like flying and soaring the heavens.

well, maybe not so much for now. :?

but once i learn to go 0-60mph is less than 3 secs, be good at canyon carving, and be good at the tracks. then that's how i'll feel. 8)

Hmmm one could almost say it's representative of our bikes too. I refuse to hide my bike behind wrapper, only the bare essentials on mine :D LoL, that didn't even make sense to me.

yeah of course, i know they're not the ones motoGP racers wear.

but i wanna know where you saw that they burst easily on impact. they claim the compression suit is made from kangaroo hide which they claim is almost 2x stronger than cowhide.

well, if this is bad choice then i'll go back to my original choice, the teknic violator 1 pc suit.
The hide is only good if it stays in place. The stitching is the weak spot. http://www.pnwriders.com/forum/showthre ... ght=motogp

if i recall correctly it uses nylon stitching and it's single stiched. a nasty shant means the suit will just blow apart. the dingo will be fine but it will burts at the seems.

thanks.

somebody gave me motoGP's new website.

http://www.motogpapparel.com/mgpweb.nsf/home?openform

i dunno how reliable those people are but it's always good to be more aware.

anyway, i still have the teknic violator 1pc as my other option. i like it just as much as those motoGP suits.

im not in any rush to buy a 1pc suit so i'll see what else i can find out.

Clear your thoughts young jedi, relax into your bike, flowing co-ordinated movements are the way to good riding...

Something like that. A good ride with flowing gear changes, smooth movements of the bike - these things give me an inner peace Kata never quite could.

i think bikes should have rights against abuse like that.

things like that should be outlawed.
