Holy Crap!
The Next Syd OzMo ride will be embarrassing  Way too much Ducati Branded stuff to bare.
This would really give the Jap Crap boys spmething to laugh about! 

Haha, tell me about it, works fine as cupcake attire or spare jacket though ;o)
Anyone know how many letters I've got to pull off before it becomes acceptable for me to wear!? Maybe I can leave the D for Dainese.
In an attempt to make the two piece acceptable I'm going to find a way to connect my 'normal' jacket to the pants of the two piece. (Courser zipper on the two piece, though I thought they were meant to be standard).

Hi there Wells, sounds like you got the deal of the century on those leathers. 
Here are a few tips for you:
Careful not to overdry it. You will ruin the leather. As long as you don't make a habit of getting your leathers wet too often, they should be OK. Once they are dry, if they look a bit dehydrated, use the leather conditioner supplied with the suit to condition the leather (if it is infact conditioner??).
Don't rub in one place too much to avoid discolouration. (Wow, that didn't sound quite right, did it?)
Only condition the leather once it is completely dry. Buy yourself some light weight wet weather gear from a bike shop. Something that folds away quite compact for just in case. Don't buy a cheap and nasty one because they leak at the seams. Complete waste of time. Another option is to go to a tradies uniform supplier to buy it. They have nice compact ones that fold up really small.
Hope this helps. 

Thanks for the tips on the leather care  .. was curious about that.

RE Wets, I've got a set which work fine but I just can't find anywhere on the bike to stow them.. Complete lack of storage

Yes, I feel your pain in regards to the lack of storage. Seriously considering a "Virgin Seat".

...so you've got the cupcakes sorted - they can carry the wets for you!

or a tank bag maybe ? i prefer that to a backpack. Usually just try to make the call re. wets/dry before a ride. If you get caught out, then hopefully it ain't a long ride.

Yep i agree with Tricolore and about the next ride ! Put all my stuff on , looked in the mirror and i'm thinking i look a bit tragic !! Im going out to roll in the mud a bit, hopefully i'll look a bit more low key. :-[Gotta say though, never ridden befor in all leathers .Real slick feeling ,not so much windage as before.!Bit of a confidence boost too.Might just do all my riding at night now !!  

Forgot to say , i did go to Frazers today to get a gear lever rubber . On the way out there's my $20 gloves from the sale $155 on the shelf !!!

well with all you guys in your nice shiny leathers you could enter the next mardi gras there!!  [moto] 

haha sorry just jealous and envious to miss out on such deals!! 

Yeah !! We could have our own float with our bikes all idling like monster vibrators with big smiles on our faces

haha almost fell off my chair reading that! 

would have to be voted best float! 

Reading this thread is making me depressed

Hey don't worry you two ... we wouldn't even be allowed in SA ... at least not showing our 'colours'.

Maybe someone could have bought up big time and did a road trip over to South OZ and set up shop for a week or two.

Betty, you and Jukie would be allowed here anytime I'm sure.

Arrr CRAP stop talking about it , I was in Sydney but had to drive straight past just because the misses was running late for the friggin sex in the city movie, but anyway did a pub crawl in the rocks
