Getting back in the game.

[Kennedy]

Gentlemen, after a long hiatus in the track day scene I am making a return.

Its been some time over 2 years now and I am looking to buy some new and improved gear. Leathers, Gloves and possibly boots.

Has anyone had any experience with new manufacturers of leathers/gloves/boots? If so what do you think. Anyone with any information to lead me in the right direction would be great.

I would prefer a 1pc suit however I will settle for a 2 pc if it is required. I have the sidi corsa boots, they are still in one piece but I think its about time to replace them. As for gloves I have held phantoms but in my last get off they were trashed (hands were saved). I may go that route again.

Anyway enough rambling looking forward to seeing some familiar faces again soon.


Oh and reliable vendors/websites for ordering would be appreciated too.

Thanks Ken! Looking forward to getting back out there with everyone!

On a side note spoke to Mike K. the other day heard everything was going well on your end! Needless to say he is envious of your office job :roflmao:. He also told me about the St. Pattys trip you guys usually do, sounds like a blast and I may need to be attending! We need to catch up, I have my rifle that needs to be re-zeroed:cheers:

Savannah was a blast. I'd definitely like to go there again for sure.
You should also look at the program for the 2011 WPFG in NYC. http://2011wpfg.org/News/AthleteoftheMonth/tabid/164/Default.aspx

Can anyone suggest any places to try on gear....1 or 2 piece suits....besides WCW!

When we went to the NYC Bike Show this winter there were a couple of Ducati leathers hanging around the may have fit you....
