thanks for the link.
The females out there realy need to make their voice heard so they can have "form fitting" gear. |

Just filled it out. If the information is made public and not too much for commercial purposes, I would urge riders to fill out the survey.

For example, there's a big difference between someone who spends $100 on their gear complaining about comfort and someone who's spent $1000 on their gear. It's not that the feedback from one is more valuable than the other, it's that it should be expected that at $100 you're not going to have the most comfortable gear. But if people are spending $1000 and still uncomfortable then there's a problem. We're getting feedback from people across the board. Some agree with our projects goal of encouraging everyone to Gear Up! Some feel that just wearing a helmet is fine. So, even if we wanted to we couldn't use the data for commercial purposes because it doesn't represent the people who will come back and support Gear Up!. It represents motorcyclists and scooterists at large, which is exactly what we were shooting for. Quote:

Would be nice if the women's line had more choice in graphics on clothing and color selections as opposed to red/black/pink or purple... and less "stripper" lacings (does it come with a pole?) in the products

But.. I like stripper lacings!!! It's also an easy way to make something fit well- corset-style lacings are perfect for adjusting to curves.

My big complaint is that it's tough to find gear for us short, squat type guys. Thanks for the link - maybe this means I'll be able to buy brands other than A* and have them fit properly! (Not that I dislike A*, but ya know, choice is a pretty good thing) |

Yeah, it's hard when you have a short inseam. I've resigned myself to having to alter any pants I buy somehow.
Sent the survey to the BF to take too. |

my number one issue living in Florida is that i don't think there is enough quality gear out there that has the ability to keep you properly cooled while still providing great protection. i'm personally an AGATT person but so many bikers I've spoken with say that's the #1 reason they don't bother with gear.

When I was riding home from work yesterday I saw a guy wearing jeans, sneakers and a sleeveless T-shirt.
It was about 60 Fahrenheit - jeez, dude, aren't you cold?? I'd be freezing my arse off!

Sure it's not bad - as long as you keep moving. Out on the open road you're fine; it's the stops in the city that make you roast in your leathers.

If the ladies really wanted form fitting they would have asked me to take measurements. As it was I just told the companies to make them look hot (how did I know they thought temperature).
