Gear addiction
Hello everyone.
I am always looking at buying new gear, new jackets, helmets, gloves, pants, boots... Anything. At the moment I only own two jackets, two helmets, gloves and boots.
how much gear do you own? How often do you get new stuff?

Re: Gear addiction
1 helmet, 1 heavy jacket, 2 light jackets (one w/busted zipper), 1 pair boots, 1 pair overpants, 2 pairs gloves. Now my wife OTOH, I lost count of her stuff.....SilentComposer wrote:how much gear do you own?
When the old stuff wears out. Discovered a couple of holes worn through my lightweight gloves, gotta replace 'em. Thinking about a new helmet next year, this one is getting beat up...SilentComposer wrote:How often do you get new stuff?

I own far too much gear... 5 jackets, 6 or 7 pair of Icon Street Pursuit pants, 3 pairs of gloves, 2 helmets (though to be honest, I only wore the one for a few hours, it's too small...) 2 Draggin shirts, 2 Bohn armor shirts that I don't even wear... Cripes, leather overpants, a pair of chaps.
Dang...I need to sell some stuff...

One summer leather jacket
One cold leather jacket
Long underwear
Heated bra
Chaps one with frills one without
One pair of boots
Two pairs of gloves one summer one cold
Too many jeans to count
Okay I was kidding about the heated bra, although, once the girls are cold its down hill from there, maybe this is a retail avenue I should look into.
On my way to work and its a balmy 12 degrees, can't stop riding yet.. maybe when the snow falls.. although I don't see many bikes on my 20km commute to work anymore this time of year.

I have 3 closets full of gear.. Although I have 3 boys that ride as does my wife. I guess most of it is from www.BritishMotorcycleGear.com
I love the classic European stuff... My kids seem to think it is cool as well. Belstaff and Barbour are as classic as you can get.
