Does your gear match?

Rev-it Jacket and Pants

**Oldfulla** · 7th September 2007, 17:20

well the gear I have is isnt the most expensive, however hopefully it will save me a few layers of skin if i happen to can off.

HJC helmet
Mobig camo pants and jacket
RJAY's boots
No Frills leather gloves

Just an end rant here. I have had no end of troubles with my Mobig camo pants, Im on to my third pair now in only 2 months. The stitching comes apart around the pockets and the thigh seems. They are having issues with this. It looks like my lastest pant is starting to do the same thing after just one ride in them

So word of advice, stear clear of the mobig camo pants, however the camo jacket is great

Same manufacturer for the jacket and pants (Spool) which is a bit of an accident since both came off trademe.

Black pants, Rjay's synthetic wet weather overpants. Usually over jeans.
Brown jacket, Drizabone Arno bomber style- people said I'd be cold but with a woolen jersey underneath I've been fine so far.
Black shoes, steelcap safety shoes, not boots- looking for a good pair of boots though. Cheap.
Black helmet, Nitro brand- looks quite good, full helmet with clear visor.
Black GN250- that has issues and conked out on the motorway on a spaghetti junction overbridge this morning :'(

Well couldn't resist this

I have a gorgeous blue Daytona and I am a woman and an ex pom. Therefore had to explore the Triumph, blue and UK stuff.
Have a great Triumph retro jacket, blue and black with my birthday on the back (luck) second one of the same actually

Very soft and very strong,only little complaint is that is doesn't have an aluminium liner like the boys jacket. Trousers are black and BKS, best leathers in the world, so comfortable and got them secondhand for 40 quid.

Also have a red and black Spyde jacket which I wear on the red and black CB750F (accidental didn't really want red and black).

Gloves - black revit and blue triumph

Helmet - Red and Black and white HJC - now just for the Honda

Shoei XR1000 Patriot - just got this and tried it out on the way back from Roturua yesterday. I am so in

It is light, v comfortable and only a little wind noise which I reckon will go with the whisper kit. Have pin locks for winter and tinted visors. Love the graphics too, better in the flesh than online so I am stoked

:

Have a spare medium to sell. Want about $950 for it. Still in box.They are no longer made so only few left available. Took me ages to find these. Lots of websites list them but none in stock. Definately none in NZ.

I agree doesn't make me a better rider but when you look smart it accentuates a beautiful bike rather than detracting from it.

(not that it's a bad thing)

Yes, I do have union jack underwear too

Got it for a laugh but actually it is really comfortable and what is wrong with celebrating a great make of bike.

**slofox** · 18th February 2009, 11:14

Its all leather. And its all black. So I suppose it matches...

**Hawkeye** · 18th February 2009, 12:26

Here we go again. Trawling up the old threads.....

**imdying** · 18th February 2009, 12:33

Black everything. Doesn't matter what bike I ride today, or which jacket I choose, it all still matches. Black rules

**vifferman** · 18th February 2009, 12:35

Does my gear match what?
The answer to both questions is "nope".

**vifferman** · 18th February 2009, 12:37

Japanese helmet, Dutch jacket, Italian pants, Eyetalian boots, Churman (?) gloves, Kiwi Rider, Japanese/British bike.
Nope.
It's a ferkin multinational war.
