(Last set $1200 suit for $399)
And trust me they fit her very well!!!

Yup, thats exactly how I found out about the deal...

Go to different websites and subscribe to their emails list, and while its sometimes irritating to get all the emails, you can really get great prices!

Heres a few I get emails from:

MotorcycleSuperstore.com
BikeBandit.com (killer deals, sometimes takes FOREVAH to get it tho)
Revzilla.com (price matches other places, live ppl on the phone)

Craigslist is also a good'un to watch...especially in places where alot of riding goes on (the south). I just sold my Teknic leathers on C-list to a guy buying leathers for his wife to break some spped records in Utah, theyve promised me pics when they go!

On gear I honestly try to stay away from ebay as there are no guarantees if there is something wrong...

They say "designed and styled in the UK", but they don't say where it's actually made, and based on my experience with UK stuff, alot of it is made in Pakistan, and if it is, it will fit like crap.
