Sorry Nallac - I am only the humble (ha!) graphic artist.

My Arlen ness jacket is 5 years old. I wear it as an overcoat over leathers in winter. Good thing.

Yes, White's gave it to me - One of my first powah of the press experiences.

The reason they do is so that we can say. My Arlen Ness Jacket has lasted 5 years and it's still good. (OK it's not shabby at all - really)

It only comes out in winter, got a hole in the pocket and it could do with re-proofing, crashed in it a few times too and it's not even scuffed up.

I'm happy to say all the Arlen Ness stuff I've had has been good. Pants were too. Till a Scrambler ate them.

Did the pants develop a hole in the pocket too...

DAMNIT! I want one of those Slayer helmets! But I've already ordered and paid for a plain black KBC helmet as part of my whole package (they were out of stock, I'm using a nasty loan helmet at the moment)

Slayer helmet will have to wait.. how long does stock like that last?

**TOTO** · 19th August 2008, 01:27

ToTo can use some new extra armour boots for sure.

i'll let him know

I think those rockhard ones have been on the shelves for quite a while hence the discount. They're quite a niche design really.

Hey guys, just got back from Motomail now.

Went to check out those Rockhard helmets cause I want one of those Slayer ones,

They will be going on special during the sale aswell, only the 'Slayer' and 'Hustler' helmets will be at $100 off, so $299. This leads me to believe that perhaps a couple of other helmets will be on special too.

Just nobody grab one of the Slayer helmets.. i'll be coming in on monday to grab one for myself.

And they're a *very* limited stock, I don't belive any more will be coming into NZ and I was told something like there's only 40 of each helmet in the country. Probably a few more than that but my memory isn't exactly renowned.

interesting. presumably because you have long legs and when sitting your calf/knee was forward of the heat shield?

I have the opposite problem (short legs) so when straddling the bike I got a hot thigh.

**Devil** · 20th August 2008, 16:19

You better be Slayer fans you bastards who are considering buying the helmet!

Adv riding - nuts on the filler cap down the side of a mountain - in a river.

Normal riding - no issues, no heat.

Ruined 3 pairs of goretex going to extremes on it. Knee touches the headers.
