JohnR6 Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Shall I buy a 1 piece or 2 piece leather suit. I would mostly be riding around town and probably go for a cruise in the country side and coast on weekends. Which one would be better and why? The following are my main criteria: 1) SAFTY 2) Comfort 3) keep you warmer Hope this makes sense.
TarkMalbot Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 1 peice for saftey. 1 peice for comfort. 2 peice for practicallity when its warm and you want to take your jacket off. I would say that on the bike they would both be as warm as each other. i have never got cold when I am racing. Even when it was snowing! :shock: My hands on the other hand (lol) were freezing! :x
JohnR6 Posted June 15, 2004 Author Posted June 15, 2004 Yes, I am thinking about a 1 piece suit, but at first I thought 1 piece might look a bit silly.......but hey, if it's better, then I'm going to go for it. Never compromise with SAFETY!!
Pete Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 2 piece is much more convenient....go to a bike meet and see the performance when the fashion victims try to take a piss. If you want to look like a Riding God then 1 piece is the only thing to have.
Moderator Beezkneez Posted June 15, 2004 Moderator Posted June 15, 2004 Be hard and get both....or is that skint 8) and get both :shock: 1 piece if u wanna look like a power ranger 2 piece as said more practible 8)
liquidcooled Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 never had a 1 piece, so cant comment on that. always 2 piece for me, far more convenient, looks fine(and after all, we aint on a catwalk ya know 8) ) easy to get your pecker out incase you need a piss or a nun walks by, good in summer etc. i say 2 piece first, then maybe after a while try out a 1 piece. just dont buy your 2 piece from a fenchy, he'll direct you to the toilet gettit 'i want 2 piece'.....i'll get me coat :roll:
Moderator YamaHead Posted June 15, 2004 Moderator Posted June 15, 2004 Have seen 2-piece suits that zip together @ the waist 8) ........that way you could have the Best of Both worlds :wink:
liquidcooled Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 yeah mine does that scott, very pleased with it
cterror Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 2-peace. you dont look that ridiculous. unless you want the biggest HUMP in tha neighborhood
yammie girl Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 i still dont care as long as its black and leather
JohnR6 Posted June 17, 2004 Author Posted June 17, 2004 Come to think of it, 2pc suits might be better cos' if you get a rip on your trousers then you can just replace the trousers rather than the whole suit like you would with a 1pc suit. 8)
Admin Alex Posted June 17, 2004 Admin Posted June 17, 2004 You can get your leathers repaired, you dont have to replace them :shock: I have a one piece and they are a pain to get in and out, and as alan said your bolloxed when needing the toilet :shock:
Moderator Beezkneez Posted June 17, 2004 Moderator Posted June 17, 2004 You can get your leathers repaired, you dont have to replace them :shock: and i know just the man to fix them
Guest Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 2 piece are much better, most of them zip together now anyway.
JohnR6 Posted June 18, 2004 Author Posted June 18, 2004 I'll just have to try some on when I go to the shops to see which ones I like best.
