I think it's real difficult to find good "leather" and the right size (i'm 196 cm) if you don't wanna buy a new one.
There are differencies in size between the brands although they have the same "sizemark" ,you always have to try them on and that's difficult when you buy used one's on the internet. If you're lucky you could find one close to where you live.
rhino94, you are about my size...what size is your Goretex ?

Next Sunday there will be another track visit. It is only about 20 km's from here and even though it is just a go-cart track I'm sure it will be vey fun. It is said to be one of the best go-cart tracks in Sweden and the track layout looks very nice. The width is 8 to 8.5 meters so there is plenty of room to be passed  . The track fee is also low, just 150 kronor that is about $20.
The track is strategically located within walking distance to Macdonald’s and Pizza Hut in a shopping area very close to Västerås airport. It all depends on the weather now, today it is clear and sunny and the temperature is +14 deg C, i.e. perfect for riding  .

It was a very nice day at the go-cart track today with Blue1000F and a working mate. The track is relatively wide, 8 meters and has two high-speed sections and a lot of nice curves on different height levels.
There were a few crashes but happily no one got seriously hurt that I could see.
On the picture below I'm chasing a Hayabusa with my GSX R1000. I was happy to be able to overtake him quite soon, which makes everything a bit more fun of course. I’m not meaning that I’m fast on track, and I didn’t chose the fastest group that are quite prone to crash when all want to come first into curves.
The last session was in rain and I launched last or second last in the line. To my surprise I was in lead only after two or three laps. Perhaps all commuting in wet weather have helped some and the Michelin Power 2CT are superior in wet. I could see that the instructor just in front of me of loosed the grip both on front and rear several times but my bike was rock steady and I could outrun him to. The specific instructor was not a rain driver at all as he told us before the last session, and his bike was quite dented after a recent road chrash that he suerly had fresh in mind.
