I'm an out of control gear-whore

[madmike]

Heineken, I am gunning for you!!! (j/k)

Arrived today:

Cortech Tail Bag

Ordered today:

Dainese Hard Shorts:

Dainese Knee V Guard:

And the coup de grace, Dainese Alien Jacket (perf)

My business won a key task order today, though I'd treat myself.

As soon as this jacket gets in, and I confirm the size is right, etc, I will have an Icon Motorhead jacket for sale if anyone is interested, size XL.

don't worry, it's not a problem, until you start having multiple bikes

Dainese is top shelf stuff, can't be their quality

The sadder part, so am I.

Gawd I have two bikes now and it's looking bad... like I really must have another one... hope my wife doesn't leave me.

Saddest part is I already have more bikes
Can't ever have too many, as long as you can get them all out and riding.
If they sit, then you start to ride some of them out of guilt, and that's not good.
So I say as long as you can ride them all regularly, then go for it! :thumbup:

 

[Soapartist]

Nah, no worries, you've got a long way to go to be a bonifide gear-ho!

I've already pitched this to my wife, as I told her we should get a cruiser for 2 up riding/touring, and get her her own bike when she takes the course. She's like "and have 3 bikes?". I said lots of people have multiple bikes. Her response was "just like all drummers have many drumkits?"

She knows me way too well.

I have interest in your motorhead jacket. pm me.

 

[RoadTrip]

If that Motorhead fits loose, consider keeping it for cooler weather riding so you have room for clothes underneath, the alien doesn't come with a liner, so I would make it your 'snug fit, race style' jacket for mild weather riding

I did, but two things factor in. A) tho I really like the Icon, for colder weather I would consider a new jacket anyways and B) I never get cold. Only my feet get cold (due to frostbite years past) but other than that, I'm always hot. Just how I'm built.

I never have liked two up riding ... I really like to have the control of my own ride.
Be prepared when she does start riding ... and if she really likes it, she may have to have a bike for every type of riding she wants to do.
My husbnad and I have 6 bikes between us. I've got 4 bikes and my husband has 2, though I am only keeping my little 250Ninja because my 16 yo daughter wants to ride as soon as she gets her license, otherwise I'd only have 3.

Nice Jacket Mike.

That is my top pick when finally upgrading to leather. Those shoulders pads look fierce!

Just read a review on it from Web Bike World.

Mike,
How are those knee guards gonna fit with your Sidi boots?

 

[madmike]

Mike,

They're not for that.

I boguth the knee guards for when I ride in jeans. My Cortech jeans are nice, but the integrated knee armor is too low on my knee. So I will wear those udner the jeans, with my Sidi Streetburner low cut boots, like if I am going out in town. When I am riding just to ride, I wear the Alien pants and Vortice boots, and the armor on those are placed perfectly.

lol @ Mike... i think you're quite normal, actually.... most of us get into that swing of things- ie upgrading gear, looking for newer stuff/ bikes etc... it's all good. i just bought some new icon armor too- to wear under my leather suit- as i anxiously await the completion of my Pilot jacket. and, after that, i know i'm going going to order a Pilot 1-PC suit & some new boots. it's inevitable and truly never ends. :lol:

my biggest question that i'm on the fence on, as of late, sadly- is whether or not i should seriously think about selling the 6R. i just don't have time to ride 2 bikes lately. and, it's not that i don't love the 6R- cuz i do. but, if i'm completely honest with myself, i enjoy riding the R6 more i guess. what to do what to do... sigh. :\
