Psssssh Ninjette, I can't even compete but that is awfully sweet of you.

#facepalm for sure when it comes to Daytona.

Maybe we can do a track day or ride together sometime?

Alpinestars GP Pro One Piece Leather Suit Black from SportbikeTrackGear.com

Alpinestars Losail MotoGP Gloves Black from SportbikeTrackGear.com

SIDI Vortice Boots Black from SportbikeTrackGear.com

Yes no maybe?

All good but if it was me buying the gear, I'd choose a different pair of gloves.

Held Phantoms
HELD Phantom Gloves Black from SportbikeTrackGear.com

Heroic SP-R kangaroo HEROIC SP-R Pro - Kangaroo, Stingray Skin Road Racing Gloves - The Ultimate Road Racing Glove

I was wearing a used Kushitani 1 piece I picked up for under $200 (buddy deal) and just got an A*s MX-1 suit for $599.00 ($1300 MSRP)
I wear Held Phantom(black) gloves and I've several boots... TCX Competizione RS, Sidi Vertigo Corsa, A*'s SMX Plus.
I've worn Knox back protector & now A*s Bionic Vest.
Shoei X-11 Elias helmet.

You're on the right track for sure. Remember when trying on suits that you'll need to try on chest/back protector also for correct fitment.

P.S I have no problem buying/wearing good 2nd hand gear as I need to save $$'s for track time.

i went with bilt 1 piece suit. and bilt racing boots. i mean for 325 shipped you cant really go wrong. if your on a tight budget i would suggest taking a quick look. but then again i really dont do that many track days so for me personally, spending 1k on a suit only is a bit over kill.

bilt trackstar suit
bilt trackstar boots
joe rocket guantlet gloves
scorpion ex0-400 helmet

girls in leathers makes me ;
