    Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. My name is Peter, and I've been riding motorcycles for 3 seasons now. This year being the start of my 3rd season.

    I learned on a 1981 Honda CM200T that my dad had bought from some barn that only had 700 miles on it at the time. Since then he's put a few miles on it, and gave it to me since he was going to sell it. I told him I had interest in it. He ended up gifting it to me after I was hooked. He said, "just go pay for the taxes and registration and you can have it."

    After learning quickly and attempting to ride it on the expressway, I found out I was lacking speed. At heart, I knew I wanted to go faster. So fast forward to today, I now own a 2001 F4i with 38,000 miles. A lot of miles for a bike, I know, but apparently these things are tanks as long as they are taken care of.

    I'm not new to going to the track as I compete with Gridlife's Time Attack series in a turbo brz that I had built, and I figured why not challenge myself and have fun with the motorcycle too. Generally speaking, I've always been an adrenaline junkie with skateboarding, snowboarding, rock climbing, etc...

    With the introduction out of the way, I was hoping I can get pointed in the right direction for a track suit. Googling and searching online it seems like I may end up doing a custom suit... but before doing that here's my size:

    5'4/5'5, 130lbs, 29" waist. Any one have any recommendations? Thanks!

    Depending where you are best bet is to try in suits.
    Sportbiketrack gear is a great resource if your in Michigan but I’m not sure the show room is back open yet
