Default New Gear on the Way!

So its tax time i figured i'd carve out a couple bucks for some new gear while i was paying off bills. Below is what i got, the jacket came from newenough and i donated a dollar to KR cause KR rocks! Pretty excited about this stuff. I did splurge on the Helmet (at least it was a splurge for my pocket, but have only seen good reviews for these Shoei and all the RF-1000 are on sale like crazy. The glove were so cheap i bought them in both red and black because i have a red jordan jacket and this new black jacket as well as my blue mesh JR so i'll be ready for anything. next is a nicer and taller pair of boots - i'm going back and forth between the A*'s, TCX (i think) or AXO's...anyway thanks for looking.

Rockin! I've been looking at the powertrip jacket but wasn't sure if the logos could be removed safely. Plus, I don't need 4 jackets.

That's a good price for the helmet. I think you'll like it.

I LOVE my AXO boots that I got from Motorcyclecloseouts.com. Very comfy and yet seem to have good protection.

I will take pics tonight when I get home.

AXO is bigger in dirt but forays into Street as well. I honestly think that they are one of my more favorite gear purchases...

Couple differences: mine is leather, but not water resistant as that one is. I'm also not sure about the brand, but i hv debated about buying a jacket from leatherup - their textile stuff looks nice though, but their leather stuff looks a little cheap.
