40 points, Gear Whore. I acknowledge that this is not normal. But I could quit any time . . .

47 if I don't take into account any of my dirt gear. 66 if I take into account just the dirt gear that still fits into those categories. It figures that I would be the one kind of whore that costs ME oodles of money.
...... Well.... at least Alpinestars and Sidi weren't included in the brand whore section. But really, it's not my fault leather feels so good and Dainese and Shoei make such insanely sexy products ^^; |

43 (+4 probably, I'd count Alpinestars, Sidi & Shark (RSI Carbon race spec €500 helmet) in the bonus brand points)

Excellent point. Scoring system adjusted.
There is nothing holding you back from earning money in any way you see fit.

79, and that's without going through my glove drawer. Do Sidi boots count for the "Brand Whore Bonus Points"?

74 points. That's only counting the stuff that fits me now, not the 11 points worth of stuff that I plan on giving away next weekend. I don't own dirt gear.
What about cooling vests? I suggest different points for evaporative cooling vests and phase-change cooling vests.

1. Good point on cooling vests. You now have 86 points. And I'm up to 41. 2. Gear you own but don't wear totally counts. You have 86 points until you give stuff away. 3. Holy schnyckies, that is a crazy amount of gear. I am morbidly curious to see a listing of how you got to 86. As a cautionary tale for the children if nothing else. You know, like Scared Straight might keep kids out of jail.

For the record, part of the point here is to mock those of us who hoard stuff, not to encourage people to buy stuff they don't need. Nevertheless, I hope Revzilla sends me a gift certificate for all the business they will get from this. I foresee this turning into a penis size competition thread. "Oh, yeah, well I have 92 points now! I just bought some more gloves!" You are welcome, Revzilla.
There is a side benefit of this thread, though. When my wife complains about my next purchase, I can say, "Honey, at least I'm not as bad as Ken Johnson."

52 here since I just cleaned out my closet and got rid of some extra stuff.
I also counted my custom made Teiz suit and my custom made Helimot leathers under the Brand Whore bonuses since I figure any custom piece of gear is worth an extra couple of points.

About to total mine up....
But I'd also add two more items in the "miscellaneous" category, at pretty high point values. An airbag-equipped jacket or vest, and a Leatt or similar neck brace. EDIT: alright, my best estimate is 56 points right now.
