Trackdays have a huge place in my heart. As an instructor at local trackdays, I enjoyed teaching new riders how to maneuver a 385lbs motorcycle around a racetrack. The smile on these women and mens faces, exiting their first tour on the track is an experience that I hold dear to me. I always walk up to the participants and ask them how they felt. One attendee replied, I felt like a hero.. an absolute superhero flying around the track... This statement, would name my future as this is exactly how I feel racing my motorcycles. HEROIC, absolutely HEROIC.
An essential piece of the track day investment is a good leather suit. I have had many suits over the years and had numerous concerns over fit, function and performance. I had a conviction to design a new suit that had function, style, safety and performance in mind. These first suits were a big hit. My friends wanted me to design suits for them and their teams. I also had a lot of requests from… women.
Women have always been on the design backburner when it comes to anything from tennis shoes to practically any sports equipment. Men seem to get a wider selection more options and cooler designs. From the first suit, I had women in mind. When designing my production suits, I wanted to develop suit designs that would perform just as quick and look just as good for the women riders as the men. Obviously anatomic considerations and fitment were taken into consideration, yet design, safety and function are on a level playing ground with HEROIC Racing Apparel.
Women are turning out in large numbers at trackdays and races. I don’t think they deserve generic suits as the competition does. I consider you champions, heroines in your own right.
No matter who you are or what sportbike you ride, HEROIC Racing Apparel has you in mind…
