Last brag thread - I swear!

[Donor]

Thanks must go to McJim for setting me in the direction of my new favourite My-Wife-Is-Going-To-Fucking-Kill-Me-And-Take-Away-My-Credit-Card store, Motomail!

Went in today purely for a gander, and walked out 30 minutes later armed with a pant load of prices, info... oh and a new waterproof jacket and boots!

What would normally have retailed at $320 was mine for a mere $198

Soon as I have $150 spare, I shall have pants and then all will be complete [insert maniacal laughter HERE]!

Rjays gear at poor married bastard prices - although special mention to the wife, for twas she that asked if I wanted to buy it all today. I love her so much! (No really, it's genuine love... really... oh shuddup...)

So rock on next 250 run - I almost look like a REAL biker!

Good protective clothing is an investment rather than an extravagance.
Although it's best to ride so that you don't need the protective qualities.

[lukelin250]

its an investment on your life,im sure any wife will be ok on money spent on protective gear. next ask her if you can buy that full set of dainese leathers you always wanted oh and yeah that $1000 shoie helmet that has excellent crash protection.

:msn-wink:
:doctor:

[McJim]

Glad you found the place okay - and glad you've got yourself into some protective gear. I hope you never need to test it's protective qualities.

See ya on the 3rd December then.

[xwhatsit]

Heheh rock on. Is that the place in Western Springs? Next door to the tyre place? Are those two shops related somehow? The tyre shop seemed to be OK... the guy didn't really want me around due to it being Friday and him wanting to go home, but he did it when I stood around and waited for him, did a nice sticky Avon rear for a good price. Yeah gear is good shit. Have you seen the photo of my hands after coming off with no gloves? Pretty and shiny and red...

No worries about bragging. Always interested to read your threads, learn about the trials of your lovely bike. Still got the RZ? Haven't swapped it for a GN?

[andrea]

"SIGH!!" yes yes good on you for getting gear, and now i must go and purchase some "ahem"proper gears

[zeocen]

What was the jacket out of curiosity? I'm heading out tomorrow to buy some gloves and since the only padded jacket I have is a heavy leather (not very waterproof) one I was thinking of getting another padded waterproof one.

I know how you feel though, I feel ashamed riding past fully geared bikers with no gloves on, good on you!

The Jacket is an RJays Jetstream.

Waterproof, and VERY wind resistant - managed to test both today, and I'm bloody stoked!

Seems pretty thin, but kept me nice and toasty, my arms got cool at 0630 in the morn, but I didn't feel cold at all.

Head through the door, and aim straight for the back wall... $99 bucks down from $219... can't say no really.

The boots are RJays also, Vulcan is the style - real comfy, and also $99... tell ya, riding from 'kura into the CBD (my *first* town ride!) I felt so damn good, just knowing that I had better gears than my heavy leather jacket and my work sponsored steel caps on did absolute wonders for my confidence.

Yup, that's the one - almost wound up at the tyre place, as the Motomail signs aren't exactly lit up in neon with scantily clad lovelies waving crudely drawn signs saying "Bike gears in here". Pity...

Heh, yeah still got the RZ, think she and I have reached a bit of a truce... now I look better, she gives me a little less grief - typical bloody woman and her fashion conscience!

Go on... go shopping... then we can look all shiny together, and dazzle fellow KBers with our splendiferous shininess!

Ahh awesome, yeah I bought some RJays boots too, $199 down to $99, they're not very flash ones but they do the job and I'm very pleased with them.
Right, time to actually wake up and get ready to go! Mmmm early christmas presents to self.

Nice... self pressies are the best, you always get what you need (or want!) instead of the standard socks/undies... :D

Hahaha I pulled that one last week. Got the ok for a new shoei or arai etc. plus a leather race suit...yeeeha

[zeocen]

Well Donor, you are now responsible for the sudden drop in my bank account :P

I saw the jacket you mentioned, I was quite keen on it.... untill some super natural force pulled me in the direction of another section of jackets. Now I'm the proud owner of a fully padded Rallycross dririder jacket haha, I love it, so breathable and so comfy - much better than a heavy old leather jacket on a hot summers day! It was $129 down from $349 - very pleased.

I also got some gloves, just some thin ones with padding down from $99 to $50, got home and opened the package only to find that they were infact SMALL instead of what it said on the package, MEDIUM.

And that motomail doesn't have a phone line so I guess it's back off to motomail for me haha, ahh well - just one of those things I guess, I just hope they have actual medium ones because they were bloody comfy. I dont want to have to turn up to the 250 ride with no gloves :nono:

Does feel good to finally be comfy *and* fully padded though.

0800 MOTOMAIL works quite well :D

[zeocen]

I rang the proper store to get the number for the other one and they said they don't have a phoneline and I'll have to go back in :/

Bugger - so much for me being a smart arse...

If I didn't have the kids, I'd offer to accompany you... *ahem* purely for security and safety reasons of course... :innocent:

[zeocen]

Woot! They had the right size, I'm officially equipped :)

Bring on Dec 3rd!

WOOT! Truly you are all shinied and ready to go!

Trying to work out how to raise funds before the 3rd to get some pants, but as both my eftpos and credit card of goodness have told me today to go and have copious sexual relations with myself, I don't fancy me chances.

Hmmm... the kids have savings accounts... :devil2:

Nah cuz, you got it all da wrong way!

Go to the store and buy some gears.

Spend the first week wearing them into work, but as soon as you get there and when you get back home remove them and stuff them into a convenient draw/locker/cupboard and make it known to the rest of the extended pacific fambily that the gears are stolen from some white chick that gave you attitude and dealt to island styles.

They'll respect you, and leave your trophies alone - no problem! :done:

Well I have a black/red jacket and black/blue gloves so there's a bit of a colour clash there but I don't care! It looks and feels good to me! :P
