32, though since my gear protected my tuckus, WORTH EVERY STICH!
I try for at least two of everything, three season TourMaster jacket and pants, leather one piece, leather jacket and pants, two helmets, two full gauntlet gloves, one pair racing boots, one chest and back protector, a partridge in a pear tree.

I'm at 33 but that's only because I bought an inexpensive helmet that doesn't fit me very well which I replaced with a Shoei Hubby is only at 17 so I win! We are planning to buy some more gear before next season though. Revzilla is our new favourite web sit

Revzilla is pretty good, but you should also keep a close eye on Sportbiketrackgear. They get crazy deals, especially around the holidays. After shopping with them, I refuse to pay anything even close to retail for gear. I typically buy when I can get close to half off (and sometimes more!). Just FYI.

Sometimes if you call STG, they might just give you a little bit more off the price they list too.

24. Lack of proper motorcycle-specific boots is bringing me down, but my shortness requires a bit of platform in the front for me to be able to have more than just tippytoes touching the ground.

I tried the Daytona Ladystar or something, but they seemed too clunky. Too much of an overall wedge rather than just a thick-ish sole. If you know of other suitable boots, please let me know!!! Always on the lookout.

Due to the cold and wet, I've added pants, new gloves, etc.
Up to 33 now. I think I should be good for quite a while, as I have the things I need for commuting and spirited riding!

I counted 56 points in my gear closet. I'm always on the lookout for the next gear whore purchase *evil grin*. In the sake of full disclosure, I've scooped up 23 points worth of gear just the 2nd half of this year.
Does RS Taichi count towards the Brand Whore bonus points? |
