Vega Monterrey Helmet
Firstgear X-tech semi-perf jacket (bought at a SERIOUS discount, I am figuring because it is ugly.)
Protech leather sport pants
Diadora boots
Firstgear Carbon Fiber gloves
The bike is not nearly as sporting in appearance as the gear, but at least I am somewhat protected if I go down.
Shoei X-Eleven (currently Gold mirror visor by day, clear at night)
Black FirstGear Mesh-tex Jacket for warm weather
Olympia Ventura Leather jacket for cold
Joe Rocket GPX gloves
Oxtar TCS EVO Ti boots
HJC ac10 king mingus
Spyke 1 piece leathers
Joe rocket kawasaki and phoinex jacket
rhyno gloves
Teknic boots
Where did you get your Spyke leathers at? I'm looking for a two piece and they are nice suits but the only place I can find them that sell current ones are in Europe.
Helmet: KBC VR-1 Euro
Gloves: Icon Super Duty (summer), Joe Rocket Balistic (cold weather)
Jacket: Icon TiMax (summer), Joe Rocket Balistic (cold weather)
Boots: Steel Toe, Sidi Vertbra II's on order.
Looking for a two piece suit for track days and general riding. I've looked at Joe Rocket Speedmaster coat and jacket, Spidi Viper, and all the Spyke suits. Lately I've looked seriously at the DVX suits from dvxracing.com. Decisions, decisions........
As soon as I pick up my bike next week, I will have the following gear:
Helmet - Shoei RF-1000, yellow.
Jacket - Firstgear Kilimanjaro, yellow. Hopefully without the liner it will be ok to ride in warm weather.
Pants - Firstgear HT overpants, black.
Gloves - Firstgear Burnout, red.
Boots - Nike ACG Hiking/Outdoor hightops (I guess I should pick up a real set of boots while I'm at the dealer anyways)
I use the following gear proudly:
Helmet - Shoei RF900 (blue orbit model), w/dark tinted faceshield
Jacket - JR alter ego (blue), or JR ballistic
Gloves - Yamaha race gloves w/ armored knuckles
Pants - JR ballistic ....and occasionally only jeans
Boots - Sidi vertebra (except for this past week, since I have a severely swollen sprained ankle - not from riding!!), or leather hi-top shoes.
Getting a new lid next season.....not sure what yet though!
