I'm a gear whore

[Krazyjohnny]

There may be a 12 step program out there for some of you.

I love my Aerosticth 1 piece. I also have an Olympia Moab mesh jacket and pants. The best gloves to date for me have been some made by Held and I am currenlty wearing a pair of Lee Parks Designs PCI gloves that I really like. I need to get them on a long trip to really give them the "what for".

Autocom, GPS, tank bags, panniers, heated grips, levers, .....problem I don't have a problem...two way radio, Gerbings liner, ......

Did you get the correct size, have you tried it on?

Tried it on a little while ago and thought the medium was too tight, though I thought the large felt perfect. I had no idea how loose the large would eventually get on my head. Good thing about these Shoei's is I can fit different cheek pads if it's too tight or too loose. The shell size on my HJC couldn't fit wider cheek pads, only slimmer ones.

I won these boots on e-bay for $66otd.:spank: I think they're new.:cheer: They're very think for heavy winter uses.:thumbup:

so how do you determine what's good quality gear? by price or reviews or just personal experience? Motorcycle gear is expensive but definitely needed as I don't ride without my helmet, gloves and jacket and now am looking for some boots

I look for ride reports of guys that have gone down.:rockon:

Any boot that covers the ankle, is a good boot. :rockon: If it does more, then the better off you'll be in a down. :thumbup: All my boots come all the way up to the bottom of my built in knee pads.:rockon:

My other pair is the Oxtar Gore-Tex touring boots. I strongley recomend them, if you're looking for new boots. :cheer:

Wow, that's a lot of helmets... I have 1 helmet I use for everything, an HJC CL-16. I think I may have purchased it too big though. It felt snug on in the store, but after wearing it for over a year it moves around on my head when I'm on the highway. So I think I may need to go a size smaller, but really don't want to spend the money on it now. I just got new gloves and a rain jacket, so it's not in the budget!

Just get different inserts for it and wahlah, snug fitting helmet
