Default "Inexpensive" leathers???

Need some input...okay, I confess, my jacket's got armor, but I'm riding in jeans. After this weekend I think I'm interested in picking up a suit.....I could add a pair of armored pants to the line-up; however, I'm interested in trying out a track day (which I assume is gonna hook me even more), and am thinking a suit is the right thing (for the weekend in the canyons too). My only problem is that I don't wanna break the bank. I've seen some (Fang?) on close out for $450, and I think Bert's was selling some for $300 at their last blow-out sale..... Wanna know if you guys have any sources of great deals, and insight... most of what I'm seeing is $500 and up.

Not looking to buy tomorrow, just wanna know what sights I should keep my eye on, and anything I should be thinking of that I'm probably not, such as: "they're gonna stretch", "2 piece vs. 1 piece", fluorescent colors make you go slower" ('cept K green of course).....that sorta thing.

Thanks.

Thanks for tip! Just sent off an email, we'll see what happens - and'll keep an eye on ebay. BTW - nice paint on your bike! That thing fit inside your cab?
