I needed a suit for the track. I was supposed to go to Penguin road racing school on May 12th. I really don't like the look or feel of a 2 piece suit, and trying to buy any suit locally is not easy. I am also short on cash and with the school only 2 weeks away, I am now short on time. I ordered a Joe Rocket one piece suit from Dennis Kirk's metric catalog. It will arrive tomorrow.

This morning I was taking a shit and flipping through the catalog. I looked again at the Joe Rocket suit that I ordered. They has pictures of what looked like a 2 piece suit. I then went on Joe Rocket's website and yes, those pictures were of a 2 piece suit. I was hoping that they just used the wrong pictures for the catalog, but I called Dennis Kirk just to be sure.

The product description was wrong, and they do not have the one piece suits available. Now I have to send this thing back, wait for my refund and buy another suit (locally this time, probably by Dainese). This won't possibly happen within 2 weeks, so I got screwed out of going to this class. The next one isn't until July 28th. Do you think that it will be hot enough then?

Shoulda called me to order the Joe Rocket!
I would've made sure you got the right suit.

That said, what size suit do you need?
Maybe we could find you a loaner suit?

What Daves said. All should not be lost. newenough.com should be able to get you an in-stock suit in time for your track day.

Daves, just so Eboos is fully armed with info, would the BADWEB discount apply if he ordered a JR suit through you? if so, it seems like an offer he couldn't/shouldn't refuse...

Eboos, what size are you? I have a Vanson Custom one piece that is in great condition, but it is getting small on me, or am I getting big in it? Anyway, I'm local, maybe we could make a deal. My email is in my profile....

I like leafing through catalogs while sitting on the shitter too.
Go to your local Cycle shop, find the best one piece suit you can find, buy it with a credit card and find it's uncomfortable or too small and return it after the race weekend. Check their return policy 1st!

I do not condone that behaviour, so try to pick a Buell bashing Hayabusa friendly shop to do it to. I would never do that to Daves, or Clown!

fyi...Penguin will rent you a one piece Vanson suit

..not exactly a perfect custom fit, but better than bailing on the whole day

i have looked at suits too, being 6'1" and 155 pounds makes it alittle bit harder to find one ready made. i actually have been leaning more towards a 2 piece but thats just me.

Personally I just can't wear anything that says "Joe Rocket" all over it. Might be good stuff But I can hear my excuse to the LEO falling on deaf ears. I can hear it now.... "Well Mr. Rocket this is going to cost you".

I take a lot of shiot at my local watering hole already (nickname is Power Ranger). Can you imagine the crap I would take if I walked in with "Joe Rocket" splacked all over me?

Chaperral motorsports has become a Joe Rocket exclusive retailer when it comes to leathers. Shame.

There's nothing better than a good dump on a comfy crapper with the latest issue of your favourite mag or catalogue to read.

One of life's simple pleasures;

I would recommend heading down to the Vanson factory in Fall River, MA. I picked up a used suit for $490. They have some smokin' deals there. Its in good shape and will pay for itself after about 3 track days. You can always trade up or have have work done at the outlet too.
