thanks! i was thinking of getting the A* MX-1, but i was scared of sizing issues, i had a TZ-1 38 US jacket before, and it was baggyish. so i went to RMS and they had the laguna seca 1 piece on sale, tried it on, and dang it felt pretty good. no regrets so far. and i think i like the black alot more everytime i look at it, the A* MX-1 had alot of colors going on.

its a 48 euro so its 38 US

oh and to everyone out there looking for a suit as well. GET PERFORATED. i originally did not want a PERF suit thinking i can damage easier and won't be much diff

when i tried out my laguna seca, the perf made a huge diff, it was 10-12 degrees today and i thought i would be really cold since its perf.ed, but actually the suit kept me from sweating, i was pretty warm in the suit.

i couldn't imagine non perf when the summer hits during trackdays

Gh0stRider 05-11-2008 10:48 PM

That laguna seca suit looks awesome. How much was it?

Noizz 05-13-2008 01:23 AM

1200, not bad.... pretty even with the A* MX-1 i was looking at, but i'ld have to pay 18% duty on 1300

evil_jigglypuff 05-13-2008 06:30 AM

nice suit Noizz! I can't really wear 1pc suits as I'm not slim. I'll look like a one piece of sexy sausage ...like a bratwhurst or even more like a longanisa(filipino sausage) since I'm short :haha:

I've never tried replacing the visor on my helmet myself. I've just heard otherwise...

Just got all my gear, another n00b here. :)

Go to Modern Motorcycles around Commercial + 12th, the guy I dealt with (Aaron, son of the owner) put together a pretty decent deal for me (gloves + pants + boots). Burnaby Kawasaki is overpriced + half-assed service, and Richmond Motorsports is quality but $$$. I like Imperial Motorcycles too (dealt with Sandra), but their hours aren't so great.

I don't know that much, but be sure to try sitting on a bike while trying on the gear. Walking around and riding are pretty different when checking where the armour sits on you.

As for my gear: finally just got it all yesterday :D Yes, I am very aware that my helmet + jacket don't match. :)

^ Who cares if your gear doesn't match. My friends' gear includes all colors of the rainbow :p

evil_jigglypuff 05-14-2008 07:26 PM

yeah, doesn't matter if your gear doesn't match. I'd say function > looks :thumbsup:

Bump.
The bike season is coming up!
Anyone plan on buying new gear?

I'll be shopping for Boots really soon and i'm also looking for some under-armor.

Anyone know any locals who sell SixSixOne products?

TIA.

evil_jigglypuff 02-04-2009 05:44 AM

I'll be buying a new jacket. My old one is too big for me now as I lost quite a bit of weight since last season. This time I going to buy leathers :D

The only shop I could think of that carries SixSixOne stuff are Baysideperformance and Richmond Motorsports.

vo_hantu 02-04-2009 07:46 AM

Got some gear!

Dainese Santa Monica (new one for the season)
Dainese mesh jacket with removable spine brace
JR - Corona
A* GP gloves, Teknik gloves
Custom RS-Taichi GP suit made for me
Helmets, helmets, helmet!!

RRxtar 02-04-2009 11:42 PM

^ go talk to Andy at M&M. other than that, there are no deals to be had in town.

Mattster101 02-05-2009 06:30 AM

Don't forget boots, they are very important and most of the time overlooked. If you ride with laces make sure you tuck them in.

Laces in chain sucks ass.

maxxxboost 02-05-2009 11:34 PM

I just bought Boots
