[One Or Two Piece Leathers]

Thanks to you both for the replies.

More material to consider - although there isn't a clear cut answer.

I note the difference in replies about perforation - maybe depends on your home :-)

 

Atlanta - perforated.

 

Syracuse - no perforated.

 

Sorry I hadn't replied sooner - I initially saw my post had to go through the 'moderator' - so I was sort of waiting for that approval.

But de factor - here I am!

 

I do look forward to the forum - a good source of information.

And look forward to meeting ore of you at school sessions in the future.

 

My bike should arrive later this week - and I hope the weather will be warm enough for a few rides before winter really settles in.

[One Or Two Piece Leathers]

I'd appreciate some of your thoughts on whether I would be better off with a one piece leather suit or a two-piece.

 

Background. I have been riding BMWs on the street for many years.

Currently ride an RnineT.

I currently wear Aerostitch textile gear.

 

Went to some track days this year.

Heard about the S1000RR and was intrigued - I admire sophisticated machinery.

Went to the CSS school and felt the S1000RR would be my next bike.

 

I expect to go to maybe 4 track-day weekends next year.

However, most of my riding will be on the road.

Typically a two-day weekend on back roads to an interesting city where my wife meets me, and then return.

Country twisties in MA, VT, NH and ME. I usually ride for 90 minutes and take a 10 or 15 minute break.

The rides often have some cool temperatures - I use the heated grips - but also a heated vest.

 

I expect to go back to CSS for one or two more class weekends, but I would rent their gear - much easier than schelping my stuff through the airports.

 

So - on the one hand - I think the one-piece suits are well arranged and work well.

However, some people have told me the two piece can be more convenient if I need to stop along the way.

 

Also - I don't think I would need perforated leather in either case - it would make the cold weather harder to handle, and if it is hot at a track day, the sessions are only 15 or 20 minutes.

 

That said - I would welcome any of your wisdom to guid my choice.
