Wow, your gear choices sound like my alter ego!
I wear ICON Pursuit GLOVES and Tarmac JACKET. How weird is that?
And yes, I notice a lot of bad vibes blazing towards Icon just on this site. It's kind of sad...I think it's the PEOPLE wearing the Icon that they don't like, secretly, and they decide to mask it as hating on the manufacturer instead.
Seems to me jackets and helmets are all designed to be "flashy"...even the MSF course guide tells you to do everything you can to choose bright colors and attention grabbing gear, to minimize the chance of people running over you.
For men who like pretty girls, i see a lot of hypocrisy on this board when other men post that they want things that look good. Please. They should all be sporting ugly girls with lovely personalities then, the way they talk like looks don't matter AT ALL.
I thought my jacket was too "busy" cause it has the logo of different biking related things on it, but now it's grown on me and the jacket i would have wanted would probly have made me blend TOO well with the bike. Now I am matching the black and white in my helmet (hjc Fuse)...if I knew the Timax pants would fit me, i would get them to match the jacket and save myself the $200 extra I had to spend on Alpinestars pants...
To whoever started this thread ignore the haters. They are just vex they don't look as good as you heading down the street. Stunters wear whatever looks good...i can't tell you how many people i saw in georgia with the Yamaha blue and white leathers to match their blue and white r6 or r1...i guess they are hated on too for looking good WHILE being protected...can't please everybody...
