motostrano.com is doing a killer deal on the Shift leathers right now for $339 if you say you are a member of supermotojunkie.com. they are "supermoto" leathers so they lack velcro for knee pucks and are a more relaxed riding position, but a killer set of leathers for a great deal. you can have the velcro stitched on later when you get rid of the chikkin strips .

seriously though, i had them gone off the new bike on the first ride
