Bonneville leathers question
« on: May 10, 2004, 01:50:43 AM »
Has there been any clarification on the new leathers specs for Bonneville calling for all leather/minimal vents/etc?Sure would be nice to not have to shop for another set of leathers.

believe it or not, I think I saw something on LABusas about it, or at least the newest actual published rules. I think the rules book is now finally available too. I did find this however:

has anyone received their rulebook yet? the changes are supposed to be there.

as I read elsewhere, it sounds as if they will not allow a hump, no CE armor (double leather at joints only) and perferated(sp) areas are allowed in very small sized areas under the arms and behind the knee. no stretch panels period. no word about nomax undies though. no word about 1 piece or two piece with 350 zipper.
