Default Armor replacement

I want to upgrade the armor on my Teknic chicane suit, the original is junk. I was thinking of getting Bohn suit kit and their carbon/kevlar race back protector. Has anyone used gear from Bohn armor? What do you think.

This would be a great oppurtunity to upgrade your entire suit.

The Bohn is phenominal. I own the armored shorts, Pro-Racer Cool Air chest and back protectors. They all performed beautifully during my recent crash 2 months ago. I also have the 2008 Teknic Violator VrII which is a great upgrade from the Chicane. It also performed flawlessy as well in combonation with my Speedstar boots and gloves. I don't care what anyone says for 680 dollars my suit still looks like it has never been in a wreck and in my opinion performed like a $1500 vanity suit.

Oh hey man actually we just left El Salvador. I cant write on here wher we are going next due to COMSEC. I can tell you after we leave our next port. It has been okay, really hot too. I miss my bike a lot. It is all fixed now and ready to go. I'll try and get a ride in with you guys if one is scheduled between Jun 30 and July 15th. LOL, I'll still have to wear my #13 helmet. I will have my Scorpion ExO 1000 when I get back in August or that new 2008 BELL Star. Okay bro I gotta jet now. Tell Neil I said hi and Tommy (SPEEDRACER).

I'll say Hi for you. Stay safe. We'll definitely do some riding when you get back in town. I know you'll be excited to ride, so maybe we can devise some sort of leash to keep you safe!

LMAO! That was good Murray. I needed a laugh today brother. Hey I can tie a bungie cord to my bike and yours. Then we can have one of the guys put training wheels on for me, LOL. But yeah man I need to ride. I can feel the anxiety building up inside me and the need to go 150+ again. I'll see ya later man; take it easy. Oh and I love the new 51. I wish I had one.
