Matching leathers?

#1 Post by ReggieGasket » Fri Dec 11, 2009 8:06 pm

Hi, I'm trying to buy some leathers (one or two piece) which will match my red Falco (2000). It's a bit of a strange red, so my guess is most racing red leathers don't match that well. I fancy Alpinstars really, but maybe others. Any experience?

Get some men's leathers - they come in black and go with anything :smt019

Don't know what size you are but Dobbs Leathers in Northampton had some good secondhand ones in stock the other day. One set were Ducati Corse another were similar black and red but with out all the Ducati logos.

Might be worth a call they have a website.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Aah, I remember now . . . Pete groomed me for this forum - must have been the pink hat and the rohypnol - and the "physique" :smt030
