Default Anyone Interested In The Scorpion Leather Suit?

$575... 46, 48, 50 I'm considering it...

BTW several companies sell this suit and advertise price matching so.... Maybe they'll hook you up if these guys don't have your size. For example....

I like the black and white.

The graphics and name are too "Affliction-esque" for me though.

Edit: watched the video, looks like a good buy at $575. The over-the-boots bottoms are a deal breaker for me though.

I'm too fat for a leather suit.

Yeah fuck that, I've never understood the appeal of that setup. Seems to me it wouldn't protect as well.

I don't get a new suit every time I get one dirty.

ok... but how does that have anything to do with the level of protection? my point was that they protect well enough for a MotoGP rider to use... I'm sure it's fine for us mortals...
