My new (used) Alpinestars gear

[oldgangalee]

I totally lucked up and got this jacket and pants for a steal. I've only been riding for a year now and probably dont "need" full leathers .. but damn this set is sweat!

Well nobody "needs" leathers until that split second before they start sliding across the pavement. Currious as to what you paid. New in Calgary from a shop would be approx $250 for the pants and around $350 for the jacket. Would be able to find closeouts this time, and of course everything for us Canadians right now is cheaper to order form the States.

EVERYONE needs full leathers.



Great choice. I love my Astars.

I was not sure about buying leathers either, but after hearing from others on the forum I decided to get them. I bought them back in Aug. and feel a lot safer riding with them. Yours look great, I like the all black.

ok, i stand corrected. I meant i didnt need it in that b/c im a new rider i wont be going to the track anytime soon; and only really ride my bike for commuting and maybe taking lil trips here and there with my boys. I dont see myself draggin any knees anytime soon ... but hey! at least i'll look the part.

man! thats a nice Kat, Randy.

yeah man that jacket is FRESH!! Hell i felt super protected just trying it on!!! YOu're still super lame! Oldgangalee : "Lemme put on my full leather riding outfit so i can go to blockbusters and back..gotta rent the Notebook again" .........................actually im jealous

Alpinestars is the way to go lol I might be a little biased about that (check my avatar)

I personally think full gear is important. Whether you are dragging knee or not. The only time I dragged a knee was when I went into a turn and gravel slid my back tire and I went slidding... messed up my knee pretty bad... and I was only going maybe 10 mph!!!

I don't know if I'm pmsing or what but this gear issue is a big deal to me. If I lived on the sun itself I would still wear my gear... its really important people!!!

Very nice! I prefer the 2 piece as well.
How much did you pay?

Hello all,
So after reading up on boots and stuff and seeing that wearing my new leathers with my timbs isnt a good look. I searched and searched and lucked up on a pair of these:




.. used of course.

NOW you look like a robot ninja! which just so happens to be the BEST kind of ninja....because....well because they're robots.

All you gotta get is a helmet and you'll be fully protected
