One mesh jacket (2), one pair of full leather gauntlets (3), one full face helmet (3), 2 visors (I'm a noob - what would you need more than two for? Clear and tinted, what else?), one pair of shin guards (1) (my weight is all over the place right now so I don't have proper pants yet but once it settles I sure will), one pair of boots (2) = 11. Barely not a squid, whew!
I'm rapidly starting to think I'm going to need a new jacket for the evenings though... mesh is great for SoCal most of the time but these desert nights get chilly fast. Do I get any points for the fact that it's all hi-vis? And all neon green? :P (I have a reflective "STUDENT" sign on my backpack too.) |

It's gotta be worth something I'd put it in the same category as strap-on back/chest armor.

43. But I think I should get a few extra for my Hit-Air vest and upgrading *all* my armor to D3O, and the CE 2 versions wherever they'll fit.
Also, there should be a point for each jacket/suit that has a medical form permanently stashed in it. |

The service manual and the user manual comes with the bike I purchased. Unlucky me since I did not use my money on those manuals rather than wasting it to buy riding protection for myself, eh?

2006 - New Bell full face helmet - $85.00 2006 - 3 large bandanas for cold weather face protection - $ 3.95 2014 - Gauntlet insulated cold weather riding gloves - $40.00 2017 - Used garage sale full face Bell helmet - $ 2.00 Total - $130.95 I'm very glad you have service manuals also. A service manual is just as important as a set of good tires to me. I was just doing a personal behavioral science study. By the way, Michigan just repealed their helmet law. 99.9% of the time I wear a helmet because June bugs and large bumble bees bouncing off my face at 60 M.P.H. hurt like hell. Ride on and thanks. Bill

Fyi, the current apparels I bought were after 8 years of owning my first Kawasaki ER-6n, such as the Rev-It! Leather jacket and pants, which I paid using my credit card and still paying for it (under the monthly flexi payment plan) even if it has been over a year... My items listing so far were as below: 1) Custom Made Fieldsheer jackets - purchased EXACTLY 8 years ago. 2) Delta tactical boot - I HAD to buy it since I COULDN'T AFFORD A DECENT MOTORCYCLE BOOT. 3) Fieldsheer short glove - I bought it along with the custom made Fieldsheer jackets as a gift to my brother, but since he couldn't care less using it, so I used it anyway. 4) Vemar Jiano Bluetooth Helmet - The ONLY HELMET I BOUGHT ONLINE THROUGH EBAY. THE SELLER HIMSELF HAS STOPPED SELLING. THIS WAS ALSO 8 YEARS AGO. Bought using cash, wire transferred to England, which I saved a portion from my monthly salary before browsing ebay to buy it. 5) Nolan Modular Helmet - Bought it using my credit card. strive by getting part time job so that I could afford on monthly food. Thanks to this, i could pay off the credit card company on time. 6) Forma Majestic Touring Boot - I bought this using the bonus my company rewarded me. The result was that I was not around during the festive holidays with my family just to cover back my expenses for this purchase. The list goes on and I would not want to bore you on the reasons I made to these purchases and not spending a US$50 for a service manual. It doesn't matter whether you are 69 years old biker or 36 years old too-much-spending youngster (according to you - i rephrased), if you crash with no proper apparels on, it's going to hurt. And calling me an "ill repute" is just plain rude for a 69 year-old "experienced" biker like yourself.

A 100% import duty? I guess there aren't many Harley Davidsons in Malaysia. A full blown Harley Electra Glide Classic would cost you $48,298.00. If I crash I want to be buried not rehabilitated. Bill

Your quote "Be good to others so that they would be good to us too" is very similar to a concept promoted by the French Political Scientist, Alexis de Tocqueville, "self interest rightly understood". http://xroads.virginia.edu/~hyper/DETOC/ch2_08.htm Bill

Bill, you're saying you don't ride with a leather jacket with armor, and some sort of good armored pants? I'm a little surprised.
