The best leather jackets......

[Quasievil]

Well I just paid a lot of hard earned dollars (actually insurance $$) to buy a range of Alpinestar gear, MX1 jacket, pants and gloves. I know I paid 3x the amount it probably would've cost me to buy either Quasie or TonyB's gear, but it's my money and I'll spend it how I feel. So call me a brand-chaser or whatever, I couldn't give a fuck. Ever since I was young I appreciated gear like A-star etc because of the racing image, style, and performance. Now I'm not a wide-eyed kid with empty pockets, why should I not live that dream. I'm not ever going to be a sponsered racer on the MotoGP grid with free gear being thrown at me left right and centre, so if I have to buy it I will.

You'll know its me when I ride past in my gear, I'll be the one with the huge smile under my (Arai) lid.

Nice one mate, if you need another individual glove let me know I will sell you one only anytime two are $89 ,so one is er um $44.50 less KB 10% discount = $40.05 !!

Youve been testy all day !!
you need to get on your bike and go for that monday night ride

are you suggesting I take my aggression / frustrations out on the open road - I can think of several reasons why thats not a great idea right now, not least of which would be the lack of decent leathers and gloves......

its official this thread has just turned into farce....LOL

Still got that glove too mate, it stood up well in the crash I must say. And if it wasn't for the back protector I got off you either I most probably would be typing this from a laptop in hospital. I have no problem with any of your gear, it obviously fills a gap in the marketplace quite well. But seeing as I bought my last A-star suit in Japan for a great deal, and insurance replaced it's full value -10% it was a no brainer for me to get another suit I like. If however I was spending my own money, well the way costs have balloned out on the bike alone I definitely would be contacting both you and TonyB.

Nope have an old rev'it I got in london about a decade ago, and some cordura Spidi stuff Lou got me - better for winter and about town really.

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate the olive branch. Don't take this the wrong way but I've been seeing other suppliers and have sorted something out, but if that falls through then I will certainly give you a shout (bad timing I guess). I will however send my missus to see you next time shes in hamilton so you can fit her out, in some new gear. If we ever meet I'll buy you the beer, hows that LOL.

[QUOTE=dawnrazor;834365]

So in your own humble opinions, who makes the best leathers, who else should I look at?

I do want something reasonably sport biased, so none of that harley gubbins with tassles and little pockets for chewin' tabaccie!!!

Try D-vice if your'e feeling a little naughty great range of riding leathers in store!!!!

Enjoy the freefall while it lasts the next bits gonna hurt!!!

Gericke is good stuff but you can't really source it out here.

Gericke kit is bloody wonderful gear and it is a positively major shame that it cant be bought over here.


Oh my god I just agreed with Dover, quick someone ...... SHOOT ME.

You reckon? Some fag in my office has a set that make him look like a complete gimp. Gericke, a German make translates to geriatric. It's an old mans suit.

The Gericke armour dug a sizeable hole in The_Dover's arm at his infamous bin.

Was not pretty.
