I propose positive points for:

Extra reflective bits (HALO bands, the stickers they give out at MSF classes, reflective rim stripes, etc.)
Personal geegaws (Windstoppers, add-on shield tint)

I propose negative points for:

-Stick-on mohawks and ponytails
-Faceshield overlays (the ones that make you look like a demon, or a knight, or a nightmare clown)
-Sneaker "condoms" (shift protectors)
- SERIOUS negative points for Batman, Iron Man or TRON suits

Don't feel bad. Since I posted I've already bought an Aerostich Roadcrafter and a new pair of gloves.

A lot of stuff I have now too big to fit me since I lost weight, but I haven't bothered getting rid of yet. This also doesn't include dirt stuff (which isn't that much, since I bought the gear but never bought a dirt bike).

Also note, I usually buy my gear on closeout or used if it's leather, so I'm not actually spending a ton of money. That probably should lower my score some, but I'm going by MSRP price on categories that have price.

Boots
2 - Setup Sunrise
3 - Sidi Vertigo
4 - Sidi Vortice

Pants
1 - Sliders jeans
3 - A* AST-1
3 - Scorpion shock and Awe
4 - RS Taichi GMX motion Pants
4 - Kushitani Dragon pants

Jackets
3 - Shift XC
3 - Alpinestars T-Gasoline
4 - Dainese Nevada
4 - Alpinestars Spinner
4 - RS Taichi GMX Motion Jacket
4 - Kushitani Dragon jacket

Gloves
1 - Alpinestars SMX-2
3 - Cortech scarab winter
3 - Teknic Xcelerators
4 - Knox Handroid

Helmet
4 - Shoei TZ-R
4 - HJC RPS-10

Suits
4 - Kushitani 1 piece suit
4 - RS Taichi Nixie 1 piece suit (NXL003 Type 3)

Misc gear
1 - Fieldsheer reflective vest
1 - Shift knee gaurds
1 - Forcefield armored pants
2 - Knox Contour back protector
2 - Knox Aegis back protector
2 - Knox large chest protector
3 - tinted shieds for both helmets, as well as pin lock shield for shoei
1 - 3 sets of in jacket upper armor as backup replacement

Total 86 if my math isn't wrong. I also sort of cheated with the kushitani dragon and rs taichi GMX, but I got those separately, not as a suit. Also didn't add brand whore points. That should only apply if you exclusively wear a brand IMO.

How did you choose the brands for the Brand Whore Bonus Points? I'm not asking because I want extra points. What about Daytona, RS-Taichi, and/or Sidi?

Arbitrary, capricious whim played a significant role.

How do you like your Tourmaster boots? I've fallen back in love with mine again recently. Have about $700 in boots sitting in my closet and I find myself wearing my $100 Tourmasters almost all the time.

Also -1 points for not knowing the brand of gloves.

guys i only have 10 points
just some over the ankle leather work boots..icon leather gloves, an icon textile jacket, and an Arai helmet. With this I think I will feel (somewhat) safe riding to work on the backroads (25-40mph zones). I have my eyes set on a pair of Spidi boots which I need to save up for.

I also would really like to get a full leather race suit, armor everywhere, for long highway rides just because I don't think I'd feel safe enough otherwise. My only concern right now is that I'm very short (same exact size as Dani Pedrosa, height and weight!) and am having a hard time finding something that will fit. Anyone know of a suit that comes in a small enough size???

Those boots are some of the most comfortable boots I have tried. (plus you can't beat that price on a full sized boot!)
They aren't super armored like some models, but the comfort makes me much more likely to wear them over something that is more of a burden.

I think if I can find the RS taichi brand somewhere, they have sizes that fit. Dianese seems to be a little too large for me, 44 euro is the smallest i think. Thanks, I didnt know about the taichi brand!
Good news, getting Spidi boots for my birthday..woohoo.

With Dianese it depends on the series, like I heard the Red line series fits well for shorter skinny folks compared to a Leguna Seca. You wont know unless you try them out. Rs Taichi is like a underground brand. They love it over in the 600rr forums since a number of the store sponsors like STG swear by it. Elena Myers is actually rocking one of their suits for this season.

Bad news is you wont find these in stores at all with the exception of a few retailers. You need to order them through the official retailers like Motoliberty or STG. They are pretty knowledgeable in sizing from what I hear so they will ask for your measurements to be sure. If you do choose to order, if you specify the Japanese sizing(which you probably will), just prepare for a two week delay or so because sometimes they would need to order it from Japan.

Yeah, I noticed that they weren't as available. It seems as though Japanese SS would fit well. I think I'd be willing to wait two weeks to get a great fit though

No? I'm not saying RS taichi is some inhouse brand like bilt, I'm saying most people have never heard of it. It's a shame because the quality is just as good as Dainese.

I also would really like to get a full leather race suit, armor everywhere, for long highway rides just because I don't think I'd feel safe enough otherwise. My only concern right now is that I'm very short (same exact size as Dani Pedrosa, height and weight!) and am having a hard time finding something that will fit. Anyone know of a suit that comes in a small enough size???

Check out Bates or some other custom leather outfitters. Surprisingly low prices.

I only have 9

Boots: Over ankle CAT steel toe leather boots(unless these count as 1)
Jacket: Sporpion hat-trick
Helmet: Scorpion exo700
Gloves: Cortech Injector
Pants: Street Jeans(I know I know)

I wear some over the ankle leather steel toe boots but they are not for motorcycles(unless those count for 1 point, then I have 10). and just some street jeans. I have been looking into some of the newer jeans with armor in them.
