Airport lost all my riding gear!

[NZsarge]

You can tell them they're lucky. If they lost the wrong set of my gear, they wouldn't get change from $4k or possibly more.

Yeah aye.. Just had a tote up of the retails I paid on my kit, $4k+. scary shit!

Sh!t there must be a lot of Rossi's around here, my gear which I have had for 2+ years (though it is getting pretty worn now) cost me $500 all up from WMC - boots, gloves, pants, jacket, helmet. Admittedly it leaks pretty bad in heavy rain and most of the zips are now broken

Admittedly it leaks pretty bad in heavy rain and most of the zips are now broken but generally it still does the job just fine. At one stage I had a more expensive helmet as I had lost my current one and I found the more expensive one was crap because it fogged up all the time, maybe slightly better if I hit my head but exponentially increase the chances of doing so if I can't see where I'm going.

I agree ! ! !

$100 Alpine star leather jacket.. Used.
$250 For a Brand new XR1000 care of Mt Edens closing down sale.
$50 For a Brand new pair of gloves care of Cycle treads bargin bin.
$95 For a second hand pair of Draggin jeans off trademe in Near new condition.
$000 For some high laced Oliver work boots supplied by Work.

Total $495 ! !

All have been crash tested up to 180kph and are all still fine..

So where do these cocks get off spending $4k ? ?

Crazy Steve.

Crazy Steve.

Where does this cock get off calling other people cocks when he could probably qualify as the Galactic Cock in any given cock contest except a cock measuring contest?

Cock-a-doodle-do!

Well I went to the airport, met a guy who was most helpful and he drove me into cycletreads.
I got:

$699 down to $479 - Shark Dual Touch Helmet
$749 down to $599 - IXON Revolution Fever Jacket
$299 down to $275 - IXON Climber Pants
$129 Orina Race Kangaroo Gloves
For a total cost of $1200

Thanks again for all your input and especially thanks to the guys at Cycletreads for an awesome deal.
Also thanks to i-site information for replacing my gear with no hassle at all :cheers:

When I dropped my old gear off I had it in a greenwaste rubbish bag. I paid $30 and the guy gave me a ticket with a number on, and then put a large label around the top of it. He didn't however put it in the store room right away, and at some point the cleaners came in and took it away to where it now sits at the dump

The concert was awesome!!!! Best I've seen ever! and I've been to six big day outs, seen Sepultura, Iron maiden and Roger Waters at their own concerts plus a few local N.Z bands. But Tool are my favorites so I'm a little biased.

All in all it was an excellent outcome

[James Deuce]

Nicely done! Good gear too.

Sounds like you lucked out to be honest! Especially considering your gear was that old, you now have all new gear, and not an insurance claim in sight!

I'd be quite chuffed if I were you! (Mind you as has been said, $1200 would'nt exactly cover the replacement of my gear but in your case it's awesome)

Well done
but I cant help noticing your maths doesnt add up
1482 is what I get from your figures?

Does this mean you got an extra $282 discount on the deal

[pritch]

Sh!t there must be a lot of Rossi's around here,

One helmet and a coupla tee shirts notwithstanding, it's got nothing much to do with Rossi.

A lot of my trips have happened to be accompanied by precipitation, sometimes to quite an extreme degree. I got pissed off getting wet. My original kit wasn't cheap, (Spidi), but it leaked so I went top shelf. It is expensive but it keeps me dry.

And I'm pleased the OP had a happy ending to his tale

Yea I was doing the math in the shop when I was trying it all on, but the guy who helped me just said at the end, "thats $1200 exactly thankyou"
I feel like I won the lotto really
The whole drama with my old gear is now a distant memory

Cycletreads do that sort of thing. Either their maths isn't very good or the people who work there are just awesome, I believe it's the second one.

[Mad-V2]

Definitely the second choice in my book, I was there all of half an hour and I was out the door smiling. Also a full set of gear (minus boots) and a cash sale usually helps in situations like that.

Awesome! Lets all go to the airport with rubbish bags and store our gear away
