Spidi leathers...info and advise
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2005 3:13 pmG'day all,
I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out with some info please.
Just a question about a set (is"set" what you call leathers or is it a pair?...it's pants and jacket zipped together...so whats that called?)...anyway..I got a set/pair of second hand Spidi leathers yesterday that fit beautifully. Real nice colour...almost brand new..in fact it looks like they have never been used..including room for a back brace (except my boots won't fit with em on...lol ...so I'll have leathers and thongs on (just joking)).
I wanted to look em up on the internet to see what they are worth and how old a model they are and stuff like that.... the bloke reckon their worth $1600 new!!! I just want a set so I can go do a superbike course then some track days etc...maybe get a track bike just for the fun of it...that sort of thing.
On the label is a few numbers...the first thing that appears is a number... 594. I'm guessing that something should have been written above it but it got ripped off..dunno.
the second word says stagione and has the letter CAAE below that. I dunno what stagione means.
The third says modello with Y51 below it. I guess modello means model?
The fourth thing says colore with the numbers 226 under it. I guess that means colour. (its a real nice black white and blue set).
And the last thing is taglia with the numbers 54 after it which I guess is the size...cause they are 54...lol.
They have a weird lookin "R" on the shoulders with EVOLUZIONE under it.
So does anyone know what they are called or how to describe them so I can search for 'em....or how to look up the details for them.
I paid $900 for em....so I hope I got a good deal...they are made in italy so i thought that was something at least and a friend at work, who races bikes, said that Spidi is one of the best brand leathers so dunno hope I did ok...please tell me nicely if I'm a dope (and don't tell my wife ..on the other hand she might already know anyway)
thanks if you can help..if so it would be much appreciated.
