Flame suit on - my new scooter racing suit
 
To go with my recently acquired scooter, I got a scooter racing suit made specifically for it (I know, it's gay). It's cut so that I can sit up straight and move around on a scooter. Now I gotta find a local scooter racing organization and I'm set!!!

Some of those suits are custom made for various riders and some of them are for show.

Well, life is too short to ride boringly. Wait till I hit the local mall on my scooter with that outfit on. I'll bet chicks will be throwing panties at me!!!:rockwoot:

t-homo 05-16-2008 10:17 PM

Or guys will be throwing tire irons, but its all the same, right?

Crazy 05-16-2008 10:43 PM

what the hell do you do anyway?

t-homo 05-17-2008 09:06 AM

You should have put "what what" instead of mama mia.

fnfalman 05-17-2008 10:55 AM

First of all, I'm a goofy bastard by nature. So I figured what the hell, might as well do something fun with the scooter. People always buy riding gears with company logos for their bikes, I'll do it for my scooter.

Secondly, I'm not rich but I do OK as a construction engineer. The key is being single and ready to mingle.:dthumb:

My yellow suit with the Roadrunner said "Beep Beep" on the ass, so I figured I gotta come up with something for this suit and "Mama Mia!" just popped in my head. The only problem is that soon the movie "Mama Mia!" will be coming out and it's a musical based on ABBA songs. So people will think that plus1 Maybe the chicks will dig it?:idk:

:iagree: X 1,000,000! I've never made over $75,000 in a year but being a single non-drinker/smoker/drug user and not having a bunch of child support payments running around,leaves me with alot of loose change in my pocket!

2 sweet ass aprilias, an aprilia scooter, & pretty ass gear including lids for each ride is more than OK in my book.

It's 1900 smackaroos. If you don't go crazy with the graphics and other doodads, it drops down to around 1500 or so.

Mr Lefty 05-19-2008 02:38 AM

fuck me that's expensive! I guess it is custom made... but damn....

Have you checked the price on a set of a Dainese 1-piece made-in-Pakistan/made-in-Estonia shit lately?

Dnyce 05-19-2008 09:15 AM

no...but i could swear when i last checked prices on a suit it was more like 850-1000....

are 2piece suits cheaper?

Dainese suits range from $800 all the way to $2000.

A properly made 2-piece suit looks funny because the jacket tends to cut really short at the waist. If the jacket were to be cut to look like a regular jacket then it wouldn't attach to the pants right. Most cheap 2-piece suits have a flap of nylon or cloth with the zippers sewn into them and that's how they attached to each to each other. The Z Custom 2-piece suit has heavy brass zippers sewn directly onto leathers.

HEY! I call shenanigans!!! A $2000,bright red, full racing suit with "MAMA MIA" on the back, riding a 50-125cc scooter = "COOL" but a $10 mohawk or a bill on a helmet = douche/lame/overdone....huh?

merely because ANYONE can get a mohawk or a bill on their helmets, but someone with the nerve to get "Mama Mia" on their ass (dancing queen :lol:) and rawk that on a SCOOTER, deserves points for having the cojones to do so!!!

oh so more $$$=cool... ha ha,just kidding as I've stated before everyone has a right to their opinion in my book!

Mr Lefty 05-19-2008 05:09 PM

I don't see any issue with the leathers other than they're expensive... it's not all about looks... shit if it was about looks he wouldn't own a scooter!

so are you really racing this thing?

fnfalman 05-19-2008 08:23 PM

If I can find a SoCal scooter racing organization, I'd be all over that mutha!!!

So far I haven't any luck yet. They race 50-cc minibikes but not 50-cc scooters.:idk:

The only organization so far that I've found is way the hell up in Sacramento/San Francisco area.

My Joe Rocket 2 piece has the zipper sewn directly to the leather (big plastic zipper, not brass). The jacket actually extends below the zipper. It fits like a normal jacket when worn without the pants. So, to zip them together, you have to reach up under the jacket to do it.

Dnyce 05-20-2008 12:14 AM

yea, my teknic 2piece is the same way-big plastic zipper to the leather, and the jacket hangs down past the zipper.

dainese is nice-but i meant when i was looking at custom suits, what i wanted was around 8-900 bucks. bates or vanson, dont remember which company.


and crazy, that wasnt directed towards you. was asking the o.p.

Vanson is definitely not cheap. A custom suit from Vanson is probably around $2000 and Bates should price closely with Z Custom and NJK (all in SoCal).

jtemple 05-20-2008 11:34 PM

So, now that you got the suit, when are we getting pics of you dragging a knee on the scoot?
