DEATH OF THE RACING SUIT! Not so fast.

After spending tons of money promoting custom made racing suits and getting lots of buzz about them not to mention sales, my supplier for some unexplained reason doubled the price of the suits. The bad thing is, they didn't even let me know they were doubling the price of the suits. I found out on my credit card bill....5 suits custom made that instead of making a little, I lost big bucks on. I think there is more behind the doubling of price then I was told, because quite frankly, I don't believe that the factory doubled their price. I comunicated with other manufacturers in Pakistan and their prices are about the same as my original price.

I'm now searching for a new supplier so I don't lose the approximately $10,000 I spent promoting the suits.

For the time being, I'm still offering the Himalaya custom racing suits but the price has increased to $680 per suit with a $110 shipping fee. I really don't think I'll sell any though, because I've already been told that there are local people that can make a pretty good custom made suit for just dollars over the cost of a Pakistani made suit.

Sorry everyone, but I hope to be back in the business of $400 custom made suits soon.

Here are some pics of the Sierra Hope ride that Modesto's Harley Davidson puts on once per year for Muscular Dystophy. The ride passes right in front of Discount Leather Mart, http://www.discount-leather.net and I stepped outside to take a few pics. Here they are.

Look who we have on the bike...Abe and his dog Jack, all properly outfitted for safe riding. Abe got our cowhide retro brown racer, http://www.discount-leather.net/mimage/BLS470C.html , and as you can see, the color is lighter than our web page picture. He's also wearing the matching retro brown chaps, http://www.discount-leather.net/mimage/BLS925C.html . Abe also picked up the matching Vest , http://www.discount-leather.net/mimage/BLS103C.html that he has his HOG patch on. I didn't have anything for Jack, but Abe found a light brown leather vest for him and believe it or not, Jack has a small HOG patch on his vest also. Abe wanted anything but black, because everyone has Black Leather. These pictures have been a while coming. Abe purchased these back in January of February at the store. We've got lots of the brown in the store and also on the web, so if you are thinking about a new set of leathers, Retro Brown might just be for you.

Custom Made Racing Suits. We've got great prices and lots of satisfied customers. We got this custom made suit ready to go just in time for Track Day on July 14. This is a custom made one piece suit, white and blue with blue knee pucks from Discount Leather Mart, http://www.discount-leather.net/custom/ . Pinapple is the customer. He's with Dysturbed Ryders Motorcycle club here in Modesto, and he's not the first in the club to get a suit from us. The club tends to ride fast and ride hard every Sunday. Pineapple has other suits, but he is short, so getting boots on is tough with a standard suit. Also, he works out so his upper body is big, and he really needed a custom suit. Remember, safety is the key and these suits will keep you safe. Here are a few pics from the track day: Enjoy, and don't forget that for about $530 out the door you can have a custom suit of your own.

It looks like these pics may be copyrighted, so I'll thank in advance for the use of the pics that Pineapple sent me.
