Leather. I thought of actually just getting a double sided male snap to attach the 2 female snaps on the waist adjustment together which will fit better without having to modify the jacket (hope that makes sense?). Passed by a few today as I was doing other errands in some malls, but when they heard motorcycle jacket they said it's too heavy duty for them to touch lol.

In my NYC factory we use a hole punch tool with a sledge through a wooden block then install snaps into the holes with a 70lb+ cast iron monstrosity. You could do it yourself but the tooling isn't cheap. Maybe try upholstery shops or even a saddle-repair type place.

For leathers, I had a good experience with a small shop on Boundary, where the Subway is.
The original Leather factory - let him have a look at it.

I'm sure as riders we have moments we like to go a little faster than we should be. I'm just going to tell you all the consequences I have to face because I decided to have a little too much fun.
Got hit with an excessive speeding ticket, first ever real ticket aside from a couple failure to display N's from back in the day. Here's the cost break down.
500.00 towing and impound for 7 days
368 excessive speeding ticket
320 x 3 driver risk premium for 3 years
Total: 1828
Cop told me that if you are going 60+ over the limit then the amount changes from 368 to 468. Also, this ticket carries 3 points with it. 0-3 points and you will not pay a premium but if you have points from a previous offence within the last 3 years expect to pay a driver penalty premium.
I kept telling myself I would hit the track this year but lack of quality gear had kept me from going. Well, actually all I was missing was leather pants to complete a 2 piece suit but I kept giving myself excuses. I am now sold on having my fun on a track (next year for sure) and have since slowed it down as it just isn't worth it anymore.
Ride slow, ride safe

That is unfortunate. If you need a pair of pants I have a set of like new alpinestars for sale. I picked up a 1 piece suit at the end of the season and found myself only wearing it instead of the 2 piece. Let me know if you are interested.

How many bikes have signed up for the first May event? What happens if I sign up and there aren't enough bikers in group C? Refunds in the event there aren't enough bikes or do they just send a couple bikes on the track all to themselves?

No more motorcycle group then.
