That's what we are doing in nashville. You are going to have to make it out to Tally GP on a monday though if you can. You will get more out of that track day than any other org out there.

Dainese fits me well enough to buy, then have it taylored. But, at that point you might as well call Syed and have a custom fit.

Another option G-Line from Gericke... http://www.femmoto.com/femmotosuitspecs.html

yeah, when i bought my 2pc. A* suit i didn't account for inseam length. i am kinda short/squat and the knee pucks ended up being shin pucks on me. kinda the opposite problem you had.

i ended up just reselling them.

It drives me crazy when they give overall inseam... like that matters. First of all, the bottom will be covered by boots, so that doesn't matter anyway. And, the armor placement is SO important.

How tall are you?

I can't in any way shape or from fit into a rack suit (I'm 5'-6" but only have a 25" inseam - LOOONG body add a girlish figure to that and I'm SOL with off the rack race suits) - mine's a custom suite from Syed leathers. It's fully custom, fits like a glove (as custom should) and is very crashworthy. It was less than $1000 and I picked the colors and design as well. www.syedleathers.com

I thought that was going too be a huge problem for me to but because of the boots it did not matter that they are a bit shorter...I am 5'11" BTW

I have Alpinestars jacket and pants but not a one piece. I wear a* because my husband is still wearing the suit he crashed in.

I was not able to try mine on before I bought them...no shop around carries woman's gear...so I bought mine from Kneedragger.com because they have a quick, no questions asked exchange policy. They want you to have the right size!

Because I did not know my size it was nice to know that I would have no hassle exchanging them...which I did, and it was easy!

Plus, I got over $50 off my next purchase because of their "Puck Buck" thingy.

It's the nascar track. It's out near murfreesboro. A big group of us will be out there that whole weekend if you want to come hang out.

I've been looking around since last fall but no one carries this stuff so it's impossible to try on. I'm still debating about a trip down to Ohio (Iron Pony) but if i remember correctly it's 5 hours each way.

i'm 5'4" and 153 lbs. i'm no toothpick, so in order to get the right waist size i had to also get the longer inseam (i'm not in proportion according to their size chart). i thought of having them altered, but didn't wanna chance destroying a $700 suit. it would have been way too much moving of zippers and armor. instead of it tucking into the top of my boots it went the whole way to my ankle and the armor hung on my shins. i couldn't even get my boots zipped over it. alas, i found a good home for it. another girl rider of proper proportions bought it from me. i didn't really need a leather suit anyways. i had no plans for track days. i just thought they looked cool. i know, i'm a poser.
