Default gear

what is your normal riding gear ??

I don't care if it's 110 you will always see me with a helmet, leather gloves, leather jacket, heavy jeans, and a good pair of over the ankle sneakers tied tight, or boots.

Don't have any gear yet, but not planning on being stupid and leaving half of me down the road. Most of the shops around here have put away all of the motorcycle gear to make room for the snowmobiling stuff, everything should be coming out soon, so I get to go shopping!!!

haaa... the summer break... [sm=shutup.gif]

umm back on topic... I never really hear of any particular brands just in mesh in general

you may want to try a textile jacket.. they have great vents. I wear my JR textile when it gets hot here and not bad sitting at idle, but when you get moving its nice

Default RE: gear

Let the shopping begin! [sm=happybounce.gif] I was up to a place that just got in their first shipment of gear. I tried the Alpinestars Rebel Air Flow textile jacket. It fit pretty good. I tried on an Icon leather as well (naturally, I like the fit of it a lot more - that would be because it is double the price ). Anyways, I'm thinking about getting a textile this year, any opinions?
