................well...............not me unfortunately...........but my alpinestars suit is 8-)
Noticed the other week that there was a couple of patches on my suit where the colouring was coming off the leather. Coupled with this, the threading on the right arm zip area was also coming away. :-/
Not what I would expect from Alpinestars, especially as I only bought it in January and it hasn't been used that much either.
Off went an email to demon tweeks this morning (who i bought it from), and 2 hours later got an email back saying that alpinestars wants the suit shipped over to Italy so they can have a look at it and repair/replace it.
Kind of leaves me a bit stuck as I've only got the one suit, and i need it for this weekend as i'm doing a trackday at Donington, so next Monday off it goes.
for how long i don't know. hopefully not that long anyway.
anyone got any spare leathers they want to lend me? No pink velvet suits from Mac though thanks ;)
