just saw this posted on another forum.
this is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. just when i thought Icon was going to get serious about gear as i saw ads for leather pants in magazines and editors wearing Icon leathers in some pictures (these were apparently one off items that you'll never be able to buy), they introduce this shit.

Ride Icon

i see Icon is now a sponsor of our lovely forum, so i hope they see this. :bitchslap

Wow, it only comes in green to further enrage the haters? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[teedubyaw]

Why are you surprised? This is the same company that showcases (on their main webpage) guys on Hayabusa's wearing nothing more than one of their vests and a helmet.

Icon is gear orientated for parking lot stunters and parking lot posers. Making their gear flashy was all they had in mind. Functionality is a different story -- I'd say the only thing good that ever came from them is their armor, which isn't in any way technologically advanced, but at least well performing for what it is.

looks like it already did....

bet he really hates the stick on mohawks.

Looks safe

EDIT: haha and sounds safe. From the helmets Tech Section:

The Alliance SSR helmet was developed through exhaustive lab research and real world testing. From passing the "looks" test at local bike nights, to passing people in the turns at the local track, we've made sure the SSR stands up to all challenges.

I actually dig it. Reminds me of mecha helmets, I love them

I would buy one if it came in another scheme, something more tech/robot/mecha related.

 

[lowcel]

To me it just seems like catch points that I don't want my helmet catching while I'm sliding across pavement or gravel. Just my first impression though.

I can't get the page to load for some reason.

 

[buddy8771]

Me neither.

 

[R1100S-Rider]

Can someone post a picture of the web or something, my damn computer wont load the page for some fucking reason...

 

[SamIAm_1021]

I think you're taking it a lil to seriously.

 

[ReadNotReed2007]

I think you're taking it a lil to seriously.

+1

Yall do know that just because Icon makes stuff you may think is squiddish, or just because they have ads with people in vests on Busas doesnt mean yall have to buy it right?

I say if Icon gets more people to gear up, then thats a good thing.

 

[Razzy]

gah, page wont load.

 

[R1100S-Rider]

I think you're taking it a lil to seriously.

My computer has been loading some pages really slow lately... Kind pissing me off, sorry. Ha

 

[afpreppie04]

Won't load for me either, I wanted to see the transformers helmet...

 

[stnkbg1]

I'm thinkin all the traffic generated by this thread crashed the server cause I cant see anything either, and my computer is working fine

 

[Stick N Move]

The whole website is down. Someone post the piture, now im curious!

 

[LessPeople_MoreRobots]

I'm guessing this is the one in question:

I got spam from motorcycle-superstore yesterday that had a pic of this in it. I was like "wtf is that".

 

[stevo_x]

they "ears" a removable. not that big of a deal.

 

[dsmgixxer]

i wonder if that would pass tech? lol
