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 ) and rawk that on a SCOOTER, deserves points for having the cojones to do so!!!

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?

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.

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