Need new riding gear?

**Macstar** · 3rd January 2008, 09:37

Those who have expressed an interest have been PM'd. If you want to be on the bulk order send me a PM through.

Me and two others are going to buy some riding gear (helmet, boots, back protectors etc) and invite you to join us for a go at a group discount i.e. the more the cheaper (hopefully).

Let me know quick if you are keen!

P.S. If no one in our club puts their hand up for the jacket in the next few days I'll offer it to general KB.

Yeah that sounds like a plan. If you can get stuff for the right price, I'd be up for a helmet ( probably leaning towards Shoei ) and a back protector. Let me know.

We shopped around today and were offered 33% of full RRP on the Shark helmets if we bought two together, so a third might get us an even better deal!!!!

Also found some 25% off Rev-It 1 piece leathers for $1200.

Spine protectors are not created equal as I discovered today. You can buy $80-100 ones but they are pretty crap and flimsy and will not prevent hyper-extension of your spine.

They don't do boots or helmets...

WWH: I'll give Don a chance to better/match the best quote I get. Looks like the Shark RSI is the one, though also considerng Shoei XR1000.

I got some of Quasi's latest boots for Christmas. I think they're still getting the new line in or something, as they're different from Justin's old Quasi boots.

Beautiful quality. Would be quite happy going for a walk at 240kph from a Suberpike in 'em.

Sounds like a scheme of great cunning...shame I have no money after travelling down south for christmas. Bugger.

BTW: Working a lot ATM, but free for midweek for rides I think...

XR1000 is the one I was thinking about too. That Shark looks ok too. What sought of price is the Shark?

Man hope you can get a hot deal on the Shoei XR1000, if so I'll probably be in for one.
