99 problems but the gear ain't one

JohnnyBravo · January 9th, 2014, 06:27 PM

Stupid stupid people buying up all the pretty colors I want and leaving me with the choice of black, black, black, an now an then red or blue

I don't like black, or red, or blue... I want white, an hi viz, or Kawi lime!!!

Boo being tardy to da party... Boo

NevadaWolf · January 9th, 2014, 07:16 PM

Go online. Lots of choices!

I actually want to add more hi viz to my gear. I like the looks and love how much it pops on the road.

JohnnyBravo · January 9th, 2014, 07:44 PM

I cant just be looking any sort of way!
I go online... But most of the gloves an boots I really want in my price range are not in stock. May pop on the white an black A* gloves tomorrow, since the one with the yellow are all sold out. Gonna look a bit harder tomorrow an hopefully I won't have to break my piggy bank for none of the outrageous stuff.
I have always liked neon, bright, flashy colors! Yea they help folks see ya an all that to

tfkrocks · January 9th, 2014, 08:02 PM

I really want to get a separate set of hi-viz gear just for commuting (helmet and jacket). Guys I have a problem; I'm too much of a gear-whore. I just want all the gear

Buy what you want and wear a vest?

JohnnyBravo · January 9th, 2014, 10:05 PM

1. I don't think to much gear exists unless they are filming hoarders at your house
2. Ever see my first helmet an jacket? I gota vest to!
3. I want all these gears!!!

Guess I should be more specific even when posting general rant threads. I was mainly looking at gloves an boots today. If they got my size they don't have the colors, if they have the colors they fit Sasquatch!
I still have no clue why so much motorcycle stuff is black

rasta · January 9th, 2014, 11:36 PM

Sounds like the gear IS one of your 99 problems...I like black. Gear, that is. So versatile. Black with green accents is my fave though. Totes

tfkrocks · January 10th, 2014, 12:07 AM

I feel your pain about gear color selection though. There's just not enough green! Nearly all the green gear is icon, but I just don't really care for icon gear anymore and it doesn't fit me well anyway. If only dainnese made more green gear, I would be happy.

rasta · January 10th, 2014, 12:23 AM

My favorite green jacket:

alex.s · January 10th, 2014, 01:11 AM

i look like a god damn tropical parakeet but for all my effort i might as well be wearing camouflage.

I like that one too, but alas, I am still too small for A*'s smallest size. Being tiny is hard

DEFY · January 10th, 2014, 05:38 AM

I say just go with the black and add a bunch of colorful patches lol

You are correct! Never tried much icon gear myself.

Copied from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather_fetishism

".....wearing black leather clothing is an erotic fashion that expresses heightened masculinity or the appropriation of sexual power

; love of motorcycles and independence

; and/or engagement in sexual kink or leather fetishism

."

NevadaWolf · January 10th, 2014, 08:41 AM

oh thanks.

*thankful she doesn't own any black leather gear otherwise it would now need to be burned*

It does look good!

My next purchase will most likely be a one piece!

Sirref · January 17th, 2014, 08:36 AM

I just got a one piece, should be arriving in the mail any minute now according to ups tracking. I want a new daily jacket since mine is more of a winter/waterproof jacket and I got it to be able to wear multiple layers under it (think hoodie, jacket, jacket) and the fact that it's multiple sizes too big sucks in the summer. I'll likely wait for something like this to go on sale or pick up something by scorpion (love their styling & price point) when late spring hits.

JohnnyBravo · January 17th, 2014, 08:57 AM

I'm hella picky, that's one of my downfalls... Congrats on the suit

Sirref · January 17th, 2014, 08:59 AM

Being picky isn't a downfall, it's just frustrating when you can't find exactly what you want. It's a great trait when you can find exactly what suits you.

There are two A*Stars jackets I really like:

GP-R Leather Perf

and

Jaws Leather Perf

Sirref · January 17th, 2014, 10:19 AM

I'm feeling the GP jacket in black/green more than the jaws. Thank you for the link. I'll wait for it to hit closeout before jumping on it though, whether that takes 1-2 years or so.

JohnnyBravo · January 17th, 2014, 10:38 AM

Both are pretty sweet lookin... One for the light days, one for the dark days!!!
