    So Degsy kinda got me wanting to do a track day, need BIG leathers

    When I ride, I wear steel toed boots, a leather jacket, gloves and a hemet, and whatever for pants. Most of the time khakis (I ride to work all summer)

    I wanted to just get some pants and do a trackday, but I guess they need to zip together. Anyone know where I can get some leathers? and what size?

    The problem is that I am pretty big... 6'5" 240.... any help appreciated.

    Yeah, I just saw that, bot you have to pick them up[ the day before, and drop them off the day after, so thats 3 trips to NH, so that sucks.

    And I wouldnt mind having a set.

    But im probably to poor to buy them, and theres no way I will find used that size, I have been looking.

    I am 6'2" 265 or so. I have a size 52 Vanson that I just had repaired that is for sale. $400/bro They are probably not big enough, but you are more than welcome to try them on.

    Not a smart idea. They can effectively protect your toes from a dropped hammer or cinder block but the energy involved in riding at speed is so much greater that it can easily crush them causing your foot to be crimped into the boot or your toes to be sheared off.

    Lose the steel toe and get something softer.

    I have a Tecknic suit that should fit -

    Works for 6'4" and 250+. Height wise I was pretty much at the max. I'm not sure if the extra inch is going to be a problem.

    PM me if you want to try it on/borrow it.

    MrKurtz has a size 56 suit hanging in his shop cheap.

    That should fit you well, it's Mountain Gorrilla size.

    P.M him he should still have it.

    full set. They are blue and white. I have worn them for the last 2 or 3 years. Unfortunately they seem to have shrunk.... so I needed a 54. I will be picking them up from vanson next week.

    I had a size 56 Joe Rocket 2 pc. at the store, but I sold it. If you don't have any luck finding anything used, let me know, and I can get a price on something new for you.

    For trackdays I am pretty sure your jacket and pants don't have to zip together, it is just better if they do. You just can't have exposed skin and you are allowed to tape your jacket to your pants... or at least that's what I am told.

    I am 99% sure Tony's requires a 360 degree zipper....
