just wondering, what does decent gear run you guys? Like jacket, pants, gloves, boots, helmet, and whatever else.

[evil_jigglypuff]

I'd say a good decent gear will run you up to about $1500 - $2000... though it really depends on how much you are willing to fish out.

Look out for a sale in the local shops or just buy online. Warn you though that when buying online, you must already know what your size are as most online stores don't do exchanges.

People lovin the shoei rf-1000's huh?

[evil_jigglypuff]

maybe it's the ease to replace the visors. if I had known that then I wouldn't have bought my arai. though I do love the graphics on me lid... it sorta looks like the Gatchaman helmets w/ a flat visor :lol

arai's visors are so easy to replace as well, i got the quantum 2

[Noizz]

Just got my Laguna Seca 1pc perf. woohoo

My gear:

Arai Quantum 2
Laguna Seca 1pc perf.
Joe Rocket Rio mesh jacket ($19!)
A* GP Pro gloves
A* SMX plus boots

need to find a back protector for my suit now

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a7/n0izz/IMG_2749.jpg

[huck-jai]

^^ That's a wicked suit! How tall are you? What size is the suit? Fits great on ya.

[Noizz]

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]

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

[Noizz]

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]

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:

[evil_jigglypuff]

arai's visors are so easy to replace as well, i got the quantum 2

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

[Leopold Stotch]

any suggestions to where to get gear?

for a newbie!

[slammer111]

any suggestions to where to get gear?

for a newbie!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. :)

I ordered it from the States last year, it was a limited edition helmet so I don't think it's available anymore. It's called the Icon Mainframe Eternal Sinner, they also came out with a white one called the Eternal Angel. Icon is releasing anothing sexy helmet this year called Burn Baby Burn, sorry no boobies this time.

Any suggestions on where to get a good deal on a complete set of gear in Lower Mainland? I'm looking at HJC helmets (speficically FS-15), anybody have experience with this brand? Also, will a perforated leather jacket still be too hot for the summer?

Do you have an idea on what brands and price range?

[Jermyzy]

^Brand is not important as long as it is a quality product. I'm hoping to get all gear (helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, boots) for $1000-$1500 (depending on whether I get leather or textile jacket). I'm not really in a rush, b/c my riders course is not until first week of June and they provide the gear. I'm planning on buying the gear after I finish the course

^Brand is not important as long as it is a quality product. I'm hoping to get all gear (helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, boots) for $1000-$1500 (depending on whether I get leather or textile jacket). I'm not really in a rush, b/c my riders course is not until first week of June and they provide the gear. I'm planning on buying the gear after I finish the course

Cool. By the time your at PRS doing your course, I should have something set up with Dat by then. I should also have some gear there on display as well. Sans helmets though.

Any suggestions on where to get a good deal on a complete set of gear in Lower Mainland? I'm looking at HJC helmets (speficically FS-15), anybody have experience with this brand? Also, will a perforated leather jacket still be too hot for the summer?

the biggest thing with helmet is fit, if you can try and wear one for 30-45 mins or so in store (takes a while to notice the pressure points). a good fit will help spread out the force better in the event of a crash (knock on wood) and will help to not distract you.
shoei and arai have very different fits, the hjc fs-15 fits pretty similar to an rf-1000 and x-eleven, whereas the hjc cl-15 fits more like an arai quantum II (i think thats the one it fit like)?

For those of you who wear full textile jackets, do you still find it is too hot in summer? Do you find a textile/mesh jacket better? I'm looking at these two Yoshimura jackets (on huge discount!). I prefer the Course full textile jacket, but am a little worried it might be too hot still!

There's also a perf leather version that's pretty cheap too

Alter Ego 2 can convert between full textile and mesh.
The sleeve is removable so is the front and back of the jacket. It's actually 2 in 1.

Yoshimura leather is pretty good price.
