    Introduction / Leather suit tailoring

    Hey everyone, my name is Pete and I am looking forward to beginning racing with you all next season. I have a set of leathers but I feel like they are a little wide/loose on me. I was wondering if anyone could recommend someone who could help me out by tailoring my suit.. preferably someone with some experience altering leathers.

    Thanks, hope to see you all out there next season!

    Pete

    Thank you all for the advice! I spoke with Kris and she was very willing to try and help me out.

    I'm always checking out the forum, especially the new racers section, but if anyone wants to throw any other helpful tips or suggestions in my direction to make next season go smoothly for me I always appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    Pete

    Pete,

    Last year the MRA set up a "big brother, big sister" program that paired experienced racers with new riders like yourself. I'm hopeful that the program continues.

    As we get closer to the season (after this year's banquet and the rule change meeting) it would be good to post up that you want a mentor for next season. They will be a valuable resource for you!
