what i've found to work is to PM the owner of a shop who's on a forum as a vendor.........most of the time u'll get items from their shop at a lower price than posted and usually free ground shipping within the US..........i've gotten almost 25% off on an item like this

Right now I using:

Shoei TZ - R helmet
Joe Rocket CBR jacket (since I have a Honda CBR)
Joe Rocket blaster gloves and
Icon field armor - shin guards (I went with this cause I can wear my normal jeans over it as opposed to the same riding pants all the time)

Hoping the get something the legs and thigh.

Thankfully I haven't had a chance to test any of these gears but they are comfortable and I'm hoping because of the ratings will work well if the needs arises (but really hoping it dosen't come to that)

have a lil rant......ordered 2 pairs of goggles for trail riding(one for a friend and one for myself).......just got my invoice from the skybox ppl telling me it got charged customs duty and vat. called them up asking why the duty......girl over the phone spoke to someone in the background and they said its considered safety glasses and hence duty and vat......she said anything else safety wise for bikes its vat only..........i vex......dias money wasting on duty

Right now I using:

Shoei X-11 Elias Replica
Icon Leather Vest with Back Protector
Icon 29'er Gloves
TCX Boots.
Jeans.

[cacasplat3]

that Elias helmet is sick
the new series of Shoei is out.....some nice colours.......but damn the design of the helmet alone is cool....



i'm sorry though.......but u cant catch me wearing Icon......the quality is poor, fit is off and most of it is designed for stunting.........their back protectors aren't even CE certified last time i checked, and i tried on a helmet in Miami last year i think......fit was not near comfortable............safety comes at a price.......sorry to say but IMO Icon is rubbish.

i'd rather be dressed up like a united states S.W.A.T team member than show my entire self for destruction on the road

Yup. Thats the helmet self.
Got a few Icon and Sparx helmets as well.
They fit me pretty well.

my first accident on a bike.
Going to work and a cager swing out of lane and hit the back of my bike send me to the floor.(the ting is i saw him coming out of lane and gave him so horn, but like he still didnt acknowledge my presence)it was at a slow speed and no damages was done to me.The bike foot hanger is broken though and the indicator broken. The guy blamed another driver as usual. I was very angry and upset but the fellow seemed real sorry and guilty so i refrained.

I have a honda vtr1000 firestorm currently.But th epart is hard to get online.anyone know where i can get this locally.

Good morning fellaz.. Nice day for a ride...

CSplat3 i agree with what you said about the Leathers.... 100% correct..

I donno about the full suit thing for street touring riding though. May be a little too much for me. I'm definitely getting the Leather perf Jacket next though.

Post some pics of allyuh in gear nah fellaz!

[cacasplat3]

^^^i've seen the leg of a friend who fell while riding in jeans......as much as i dont like it, i'd prefer to ride in leather pants........if riding in jeans, i must at least have knee and shin amour, plus some sort of protective shorts under it to prevent my ass and hip from grinding off..........i may look like an idiot with leather on in 34* temps., but i'll be safe........

plus there are lots of well made perforated two piece suits.........so its not as impractical as a one piece........i should point out that when i do ride (no bike at the moment), its for recreation....not commuting......so i'm never really riding to go somewhere....so wearing a leather suit is no problem

If Trini's ever get this organised about issues affecting us I bet the Government would take notice.
