Welcome to riders gear. The fact that you are in this forum says a lot. To me it means you are serious about not only having a nice bike, but protecting yourself while you are on it. Good gear doesn't have to break the bank. By doing some shopping you can find some pretty good deals. Let's hear what all you guys are gearing up in.
I have two types of gear. One for casual rides like when I am on the "Rex" and full leather for more serious stuff on the CBR954. Gear lists includes but not limited to:
Teknic Chicane two piece
Sidi Vertebra boots
Joe Rocket gloves
Alpinestar gloves
Leather pants
Joe Rocket jacket
Shoei helmet
Heavy leather m/c jacket
Mine for now... Updated to Vanson full suit very soon.
First Gear S-Pilot 2000 jacket
First Gear Flightline pants
Sidi Vertebrae Chromo's
Teknic Speedstar gloves
Arai Quantum f helmet
I would like something more comfortable for touring, but with the Vanson I'll have to make do with the First Gear stuff being relegated to that and cold weather riding.
Hey, the threads only been laying around for a week... what the hell, I'm bored. Most of this was listed in the "track gear" thread, but not all of it so I'll throw the whole closet out there.
Helmets: Arai Signet and two AGV Argons (one matches the bike, one I just liked, both were cheap).
Gloves: Teknic Violators, Dannisport Carbon Summer ($60 and not so heavy as the Violators, good for less-than-track riding), and some fully perfed "hope-I-don't-fall-in-them" gloves for hot Florida commuting.
Leather/jackets: AGV Storm two piece suit (for "high risk" riding), Teknic Supervent (for hot weather), JR Meteor (for the cold), JR Phoenix (a friend is using it... someday I might squeeze some money out of him for it).
Boots Hein Gericke (real boots) and AGV (around town boots).
I need to get some pants to wear around town, besides jeans.
All this gear has been purchased on closeout as cheap as I could get, being an unemployed student. The entire collection comes up to $1160 plus tax and shipping. I don't think that's too bad considering *nice* leathers would cost that much! (The Arai was given to me, which makes a big dent in the cost! )
Arai Quantum/f
Teknic Violator II gloves
Alpinestars S-MX Gore-Tex
Triumph Race jacket(full perf and silver in color)
Triumph perf Race leather pants
Joe Rocket Rhino jacket
Teknic Enforcer gloves(last gen with the carbon fiber knuckles, but waterproof)
Sidi Strada boots
Joe Rocket Ballistic 3.0 pants
Joe Rocket Ballistic jacket(first gen)
Bohn Pro Race back protector
1. Joe Rocket Ballistic 4.0 jacket
2. JR Ballistic 4.0 pants
3. JR Ballistic gloves (cold weather)

Can any of you Teknik Chicane 2 pc owners shed some light for me? As a woman sportbiker, I'm having trouble finding and fitting gear. My First Gear Hypertex is working after a few modifications, but I want a 2pc leather suit for Track days. Was offered a new Chicane 2pc for $309 from a dealer in TN. Good deal? Or, stay away?
