Riders all over the country wearing your gear and now a military contract.

[Stickchick]

Congratulations Dude!!!!

[Steam]

I salivate... who do I have to shoot to get one? Nah, actually I'm saving hardcore for Aussie.
What's the basic design / model / make of the gear, or is it completely custom?
They still use Kawa 250's eh?
Congrats Quasi!
Of course, you being a defence supplier does mean you are now a terrorist target, right?
Al Qaeda has you on their list...

[98tls]

Congratulations. No doubt well deserved. Preferred supplier status is a valuable asset to any business. Hope it all goes well for you.

[riffer]

Excellent stuff Quasi. :yes:

[Big Dave]

Good Job. :rockon:

[Zapf]

Congrets. Is that reflective piping I see around the chest and arms?

[RantyDave]

Whoa! Nice one, and a rare big score for the small guy!

Dave

[slopster]

Mint when are they actually being issued (time for me to approach the transport guys here in camp with a few boxs of piss...) Are those boots part of the package too?

[SARGE]

NZ has an army?????

[chanceyy]

congrats Quasi .. well done !!

[Nasty]

congrats .. that is great news :)

[sAsLEX]

NZ has an army?????

You have probably met a few from Papakura smart arse...

[McJim]

Nice camos! Ugly helmet though....oh shit it's your head! Hahahaha :rofl:

Well done dude. Congrats on the order!

Tell gijoe1313 - he'll be interested in a set.

[Paul in NZ]

Well done mate - good looking gear as per usual... You deserve your success - enjoy!

[oldrider]

NZ has an army?????

Yes but they can't afford the motorcycles, they just use cardboard cutouts, like the police cars and policemen. :yes:

Hey, well done Quasie, I would like to know more, will PM. Cheers John.

[sAsLEX]

Well done mate. What did they have previously? It looked like most just rode in standard kit with gloves and a helmet!

EDIT: No chest epaulette for rank?

[Colapop]

What cost is a set?

[SARGE]

You have probably met a few from Papakura smart arse...

those guys still around??.. i wolda thought by now Uncle Helen would have sent them the way of the NZ Air Farce


nothing can kill an SAS Soldier quicker than a Labour budget

Well since they take the Prime Minister in to the fire house and shoot the "terrorists" out from around them with live rounds I would question if they would let them go that quickly.

Especially since they are one of our most active, and recognised units....

Are they getting the gear Quasi, they might not want the reflective piping?!

you guys are SO lucky you get to take the PM to the Kill House

all we got was some homeless guys

course .. hard to tell the difference innit it?

[QMOTO]

they might not want the reflective piping?!

The Set you see is essentially still a prototype, the scotchlite piping is an option of interest but no decision has been made on it, so will will finalise that and a few other things before going into full production

[QMOTO]

What cost is a set?

I havent done retail costings on it, not sure if camo is a marketable idea for non army interests ?? what ya think ?

[sAsLEX]

young squids would love it, maybe in the urban camo though.......

[janno]

Bet the camo gear would go down a treat with the gen pub. Heaps of riders here in Aus in the camo draggin type jeans in the different colours, I presume you can get the same gear in NZ.

But I'm too Nana to wear camo gear - why wear camo when a motorcyclist is hard enough to see already?! :shit:

The army gear looks great though, Quasi - really smart looking.

[limbimtimwim]

I havent done retail costings on it, not sure if camo is a marketable idea for non army interests ?? what ya think ?Not for me, but YES, I think people would go for it. Especially Mr Steam here.

Also, you look like a bona-fide soldier in that getup.

[paturoa]

hmmm, camo gear with scotchlite ..... kind of defeats the purpose somewhat.

Well done.

P.S. how is the Navy's latex one peice coming along?

[gijoe1313]

That's awesome! Now, where, when and how much so I can get a new riding outfit courtesy of Quasi! :niceone:

[Switch]

Well done Quasi, You certainly have made an impact :yes: Thats pretty impressive, you have connections to the army now ;) ;)

[Big Dave]

what ya think ?

The anti-hi-vis vest.
Fundamentally a dumb idea. But that's never stopped stuff from selling before. I'd wear the pants.

[QMOTO]

We made the Latex Suit and SASlex is trialling it now, he has had it for over a year and he seems to be doing a extensive trial for sure

[Cr1MiNaL]

congrats mate, now wheres my bak protector???

[sAsLEX]

The anti-hi-vis vest.
Fundamentally a dumb idea. I'd wear the pants.

Hmm think about the application and intended use maybe.......

[Big Dave]

Hmm think about the application and intended use maybe.......

I believe the question was - 'what do you think for retail?'.

[sAsLEX]

I believe the question was - 'what do you think for retail?'.

For hunters going out on their trail bikes its perfect.....

[Big Dave]

For hunters going out on their trail bikes its perfect.....

For noobs with their boxer shorts and their arse hanging out of them on mini choppers it's....................maybe a good thing.

I'm not going to back away from 'Fundamentally' motorcycle apparel that makes you more difficult to see is not a good idea.
I understand the repercussions - some kid buying online might not.

Not that I give a rats - I only wear black anyway.

[sAsLEX]

Not that I give a rats - I only wear black anyway.

But there is the argument that more people see big scary arse bikers in black as they see them as a threat.

[howdamnhard]

Congratulations Quasi,well done,that should provide a nice steady income.Hope you still have time for the rest of your gear.When are you going to update your website to show your new range that you have been going on about?:yes:

[Big Dave]

But there is the argument that more people see big scary arse bikers in black as they see them as a threat.

That's my argument.
Bottom line is I'd rather live dangerously than Geeky.

Roll out the camo.

[Karma]

If you're producing it specifically for the army then you may not even be allowed to sell it to anyone else... I'm fairly sure people like lockheed-martin aren't allowed to go around selling stealth bombers to anyone and everyone.

Make sure it's specified in the contract if you can or can't eh.

[babyB]

sweet, :clap:congrats Quasi hope it goes well for ya

[MSTRS]

NZ has an army?????

Cors we do. Enough to fill the one Herc we have left....
Well done, Quasi.

[Grub]

not sure if camo is a marketable idea for non army interests ?? what ya think ?

I would think marketing "their" design to civilians would piss the Army off. There's no rationale for not doing it but the military do like to feel they have something special. In fact, I'm surprised that it's not on your contract.

Well done on the contract and well done to Defence for awarding the contract locally and not to bloody China!

[QMOTO]

Hi Dude, yes new products well under way, they need to get here first, then photo/model shoot, then do website, lots going on but working bloody hard, as a little looky here is one of the new jackets from the rapid range.

It is very highly spec'd external TPU armor (from italy) which is a new thing for us, as well as a heap of other high specs not found in most Jackets here.

this model is available in Red/blue/ black silver
available in about two weeks

Army use alot of Civilian gear.

If you want to survive in Wiberia you go and buy a civvy sleeping bag, in the Summer you use a Camelback..... with the adapter so it works with your S10 respirator mind you.

There are a few things that they use that are just COTS..... a term you see more and more in the military all over the world.


Commercial Off The Shelf.

[Macktheknife]

Awesome Quasi, well done mate. So where/when do we get our sets then?

[wayne708]

Nice score Quasi, shouldn't take to long to kit out the whole of the NZ Army, but then there's the Aussies, and heaven forbid George dubblya' lot, but then they would want it in a desert camo

[gijoe1313]

And will they be able to make them in molten red camo... :whistle:

[Grub]

Army use alot of Civilian gear.

Nods. I was thinking more about stuff developed for military but I guess if they don't pay for the development then they have no IP claims on it.

I would still clear it with them though ... no point in messing up a new and beautiful relationship.

[Skyryder]

Congrats on the contract. Nice to see the Army doing something for the locals.

Bloody rare these days for locals to support locals. Good show and all etc.


Skyryder

[deeknow]

not sure if camo is a marketable idea for non army interests ?? what ya think ?

course it will be... just think of all those poachers and pot-growers... they'll be screaming out for camo gear !!!

seriously tho, bloody good on ya.

[250sx_mulisha]

i would wear it
im selling my race car so might get a hayabusa turbo or something fast

[Coyote]

My mum wants me to be visible, not to blend in with the scenery

...so red glamoflage draggins it is :p

[Coyote]

NZ has an army?????
Yeah, the Salvation Army

Don't know why they'd be wanting camo...

[TonyB]

Awesome news! Well done!

[Metalor]

I havent done retail costings on it, not sure if camo is a marketable idea for non army interests ?? what ya think ?

I'm sure if you set a couple in each of the most common sizings a few people will buy them, don't really have anything to lose with the large amounts you'll be supplying to the army, and if that stock doesn't sell you could always chuck it in one of the army shipments. Good on mate, you'll be making a killing if all goes well!

I do wish the army still got their combat boots from john bull. About the best boots I've ever owned (not for riding of course).

[Kittyhawk]

Congrats on the new contract! The DPM style is nice.
