Default Motorcyclecloseouts.com deals

I picked up one of the MotoGP Corkscrew jackets last week off www.newenough.com, and today I got a set of Oxtar racing boots, MotoGP Apex pants and a Teknic Knox back protector from www.motorcyclecloseouts.com all for about $350 shipped.

I love new gear...with my new purchase I won't be a squid from the waist down anymore

The only tentacle I have left the wife is partial to so she lets me keep it. I told her before I got the bike that I'd need to buy some protection, and she offered to go to the drugstore and buy me a box of Lifestyles....

KY Warming liquid, no doubt?? That way it's already up to temp before you ever hit the road, right?!

Cheers

P.S.: Has anyone else noted that this thread went enjoyably downhill, from the outset? hehehe!

That Knox ricochet is on sale for 89 dollars on one site. Look in my back protector thread.

Got the gear today. For those with the Corkscrew jacket for about $20 you can replace the neoprene 'mouse pad' back protector with a more substantial Knox CE approved one.

I was disappointed the Apex pants only had the short zipper, because it would have been nice to mate it to the full zipper on my Corkscrew jacket. The pants have both halves of the zipper so with a little effort I can put them together.
