It's an Italian surname. We're named after our founder Lino Dainese. The proper pronounciation is Die-a-knee-zay. That pronounciation comes from the man himself, so don't let anyone tell you different.

ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
- It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again
1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
- animals, though free re-homing is ok.
- anything illegal.
- drugs, legal or not.
2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:
- Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY.
- motorcycle or other vehicle:
- make [MANDATORY]
- model [MANDATORY]
- year [MANDATORY]
- Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
- mileage
- title info
- current condition
- maintenance history
- accident history
- location
- If selling riding gear, include:
- size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
- in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.
- motorcycle or other vehicle:
- Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
- DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
- Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
- Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
- With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.
3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!
- Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
- Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
- Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
- Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
- Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958
4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad
- Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
- If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
- If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
- If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.
5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF
- Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.
BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
- If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
- We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.
6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
- No reposting
- No reposting
- No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.
7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
- Is not allowed.
8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
- Is no longer allowed.
If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.

Just got a Laguna Seca H20 pack 1 piece suit (D-skin leather) $770 shipped.
I wanted the regular Laguna Seca 1 piece...but sold out ($685 shipped)... Dainese( in Italy ) double booked on my supplier
But, THUMBS UP for DaineseDan for quick responses and what he's doing for us.
Nice score. I know some places are blowing them out to make room for the Laguna Pro.
DaineseDan

It's a completely new suit. They share nothing in common but the name. The Laguna Pro will utilize the thermoformed external shoulder armor with the co-inject Titanium sliders, has much more extensive use of the Kevlar stretch panels, and is a much, much nicer suit in every way. It will sell for $1199.00 when they arrive.

Dan,
I'm 6'1" 195lbs. and tried on a Laguna Seca 1-pc. yesterday at CycleGear in a size 56 (they didn't have anything smaller at that store). While OK length-wise for me, the gap and bulging of excess material along the entire back section was massive (you could easily grab entire hand-fulls of leather).
Even with a back protector and in the riding position, I'm wondering if a size 54 would be smaller in the upper body/back area to offer a decent fit, and how much shorter it would be (too much shorter wouldn't be long enough in either the legs or arms, to say nothing of the crotch area). Is there another model of Dainese 1-pc. I should try on that might be a slimmer fit?
I lift weights, have good size biceps and chest, and wear a 44L jacket. My G. Zen Pellle Estivo in 54 Euro fits me great.

Hi Dan, I wonder you have any DAINESE PANT MAP WS GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER LONGJOHNS? Got the info from ebay and I wonder you have anything like that to put under my Delta pants...
Thanks!
Sure do!

Not really. They fit just like any other long underwear in that they terminate just above the ankle.

Always. They're our best seller.

Judging by your stats, I'd say just going down to a 54 in the Laguna would solve your problems, but you should also check the Steel and Grand Premio suits. Both are slim cuts and are a notch above the Laguna. Come on by the shop and we'll get you fitted properly.

Dan, I know the Sukhoi has been discontinued for some time, but is there anyway to get a custom version of that suit made?
DaineseDan
New member
I'm afraid that custom suits can only be made based on current models, but there are several double zip suits in the line-up now that are similar to the Sukhoi but with many improvements.

Thanks Dan. Yes I've looked at the newer double zip suits, but am not too fond of the color schemes. I love how the Sukhoi was just red/black rather than red/black/white etc..

If you go custom, you can have any color you want!

Ahhh nice...how much extra does it cost to do custom and the turn around time?
DaineseDan
New member
40% over the cost of retail. As all custom suits are made by the small number of master tailors that build all of our racer's suits, turn around can take some time. It depends on where in the race season we are when the order is placed, but you can expect three to four months. Not bad considering it is being hand made in Italy.
