I like Dainese for leathers, they seem exotic to me. You don't see nearly as much Dainese as you do Joe Rocket or Alpinestar. I also like it for that reason.
Helmets... I'm partial to Shoei.

Douge 07-01-2004, 07:36 PM For MX I' have been partial to Fox for jerseys and pants, for protective stuff I usually try to find stuff that is comfortable. Arai helmut.
For street I have a teknic full leather, joe rocket gloves, Alpinestar boots(both MX and street) and had an Arai helmut that sacrificed admirably at the track, best $500 I've ever spent.
:shutme '99SV650S 07-02-2004, 10:24 AM Joe Rocket for me, can't beat the price. Douge 07-03-2004, 12:14 AM Joe Rocket for me, can't beat the price.
What do I win? :p steve_n_houston 07-07-2004, 11:56 AM I've got Fieldsheer summer gear (pants and jacket) and a Shoei RF1K. My SO wears an Arai.
For leathers, I like Vanson or Dianese. Yerf Dog 07-07-2004, 01:18 PM Joe Rocket, but I've been thinking about picking up a Aerostitch Roadcrafter.

Areostich are, supposedly, excellent gear. They're custom made for you instead of off the rack. I get their catalogs from time to time, but I've never bought anything from them. The sport-touring crowd swears by Aerostich. HondaGrl 07-07-2004, 04:12 PM I like Dainese for leathers, they seem exotic to me.

For me it's Shoei for helmets and First Gear for leathers. Pigface1 07-07-2004, 04:55 PM My regular jacket is Joe Rocket, my leathers are Alpinestars, and my boots are Sidi. Helmet is an Arai Signet b/c that's the only one that fits basically, but I like it. jetskifast 07-08-2004, 04:46 PM Vanson gear is by far best made product, everything is made for the biker.
Joe Rocket does offer some cheap well made products.
I ride with full Vanson leathers, including gloves with Sidi boots ;) Need4Speed 07-21-2004, 06:53 PM Joe Rocket is all good with me too...My other half picked me up a vega helmet for christmas last year...all in all, a very sweet lid, for a fraction of the cost of a shoei..lightweight, comfortable, and my head stays pretty cool with all the vents. Mojo 08-04-2004, 04:14 PM I am a slut. I have all manner of gear. Alpinestars boots, Icon boots, Motoboss boots, Honda/Intersport leathers, motoboss leathers, Icon Burner Jacket, Fieldsheer mesh jacket, AGV bucket, Lots of stuff. Need4Speed 08-04-2004, 05:12 PM Damn!! if you ever wanna unload any of that, give me a hollar :drool: Mojo 08-04-2004, 05:27 PM Damn!! if you ever wanna unload any of that, give me a hollar :drool:
I am probably going to part ways with my Intersport/Honda leathers. I just don't see myself wearing them on my CL350's.... They're the only Honda's I have left! It's an extremely nice set of leathers. Problem is that none of my Honda riding friends can fit them! Captain Morgan 08-04-2004, 05:41 PM I mainly have Joe Rocket because of price, but I'm also new to the sport. If I begin to ride more, I will buy better gear. I don't have any leathers, just textile/mesh. Need4Speed 08-04-2004, 05:41 PM I am probably going to part ways with my Intersport/Honda leathers.

Whats the size of them ? Big Kahuna 08-04-2004, 06:29 PM Problem is that none of my Honda riding friends can fit them!It's just because you're as skinny as a tooth pick! Mojo 08-04-2004, 08:09 PM It's just because you're as skinny as a tooth pick!
That would be one of the aforementioned Honda riding friends. :)
At 6'0, I'm the shortl guy in our group.
To answer your question, the jacket is a 44, and the pants are a 32 waist. | |
