My new (to me) gear setup! - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

jspansel · 07-01-2010, 11:29 PM

Well, my riding buddies just kept throwing the deals at me!!!

Gear doesnt match the bike at all, and I dont care one bit! I bought the deal, not the color. Wouldnt have been able to buy if I would have got new/correct colors... I'm protected now when I hit the twisties and that is all that matters. Not wearing this to and from work of course. Have other jacket and gloves for that.

Here is what I got!

Moto GP Kangaroo leather 1 piece suit
Alpinestars GP Plus Gauntlet gloves
Dainese back protector/vest with rib pads
Oxtar Riding boots

(dog not included

)

All for the sum of $275! Crazy that everything fit me. And everything is in great condition. Just could not pass it up for that price. This is over $1,200 worth of gear.

haha yeah! I had to shoosh him out of the way a couple times and he just did circles around everything. Kept wanting to lay on the suit. Finally just sat next to it.

Nice setup... now, lets get some pictures of you on the yellow bike! (can't be as bad as the guy in the other thread on a ninja with Yamaha leathers on)

Bad Ruger.... no laying on the $1000 suit

Was going to go out this weekend with a camera and try to get some corner shots. Not a high end camera at all so not sure how they will turn out. But I will post them still. Its really not too bad. Ive actually seen a few riders on yellow bikes with the same color red/black suit.

**JonKerr** · 07-02-2010, 09:24 AM

Good deal. There are worse color combos than yellow and red. There's an Aprilia I've seen on Palomar that's yellow, red, and black and he wears the same colors. (Not that I would be caught dead in anything yellow)

jspansel · 07-02-2010, 09:26 AM

Yeah, I wouldnt want a yellow one anyway! I'd just go straight black or something. Im happy with it though.

What's wrong with a yellow suit? Don't you like any of these?
