Those gloves are nice but look a little fagile...:dunno:
See if there is a local place where you could try them on and see them in person.

The seller says no q's asked returns, so I'll give em a try! No place around here even carries Icon gear, WI sucks...

This is going to be my next helmet (which really takes me back to my old Army days):

Definately unique, but I'm pretty sure they're not legal here in WI? At least that's what I've read on the cbr forums...?

Why is it not legal? Can't be any worse than those half-helmets.

It's basically a 3/4 (covers the ears), has a cool sliding visor and is made by AGV (which I assume, can only sell legal DOT-approved helmets in the U.S.).

I'm also looking at Timberland-type boots like these, but in black:

(And yes, I have to watch out for those laces. Wouldn't want to have them wrap up in the shift lever, because if they do and you roll into a stop, you might not be able to put your left foot down and keep the bike upright........don't ask me how I know). :eeps:

I'm sorry but if I saw a biker roll to a stop and then fall over I would lmao :rofl::rofl::rofl:


Of course then I would go up to him and check on him, but I'd be holding back a snicker...

1) I think it's ridiculous not to get a full face helmet

and

2) I think it's ridiculous not to buy proper riding boots.

My bad, I was thinking of another helmet I saw on some cbrforums, the helmet looked very similiar, but it was from Europe. Apparently it didn't have the same safety regulations...

I know you know a lot about gear, any recomendations on nice, breathable pants? I'm not going with a full body suit, I've already got the jacket and all other gear, but the pants are holding me back...

I don't have any specific recommendations on pants.. Go to www.webbikeworld.com and put 'pants' into the search box... read their reviews, I've always found them to be thorough and accurate.
