Thanks but if I explore my feminine side, I don't think I'll be advertising.  ;)

Explore someone else's feminine side, then.

You mean that's all you'd like to see her wearing.

I'm kinda digging Alpinestar's pink thang...



Ja, laces are not good.  Any other comments on how good it is or isn't?

Where's the Armor in that jacket?  :dunno: Looks more like fashion leather than a M/C jacket.  And that shade of pink!!  Clash city.

"CE certified SP elbow and shoulder protectors," not that that means anything...

I always wear the back protector I got for track, so I don't care about back armor.

I suppose I'd have to see it to really slag it, but from what I see it's definitely not to my taste.  Guess my feminine side is deeper than I thought.  ;)

GAH! You GOT that thing? So much for taste! :lol:

I guess it is better than that yellow contraption you had earlier. Why does it have corsett-style lace on the back? Is it a bustier also?

Quote from: WAPSo my girlfriend has been bugging me to find a pink helmet for her. Solid pink without any graphics. Any ideas? None of the major helmet manufacturers seem to have pink in their selections. And I'm wary of corrupting a helmet's shell by painting it myself.

Mine has been bugging me for the same thing... My local Suzuki dealer says pink helmets are hot right now and he has a hard time keeping them in stock... Wait, WTF?  :?

After checking out Ebay there don't seem to be any full face M/C helmets on there that are completely pink. The hemlets that are completely pink look pretty ridiculous, some even come with goggles, how retro eh? Theres something but a company called Z1R that looks pretty decent, Snell and DOT approved. If I were a chickie I'd wear it.

You know, that helmet is pretty sweet. Not that I'd ever wear it, but still, very sweet. I'm gonna print it and take it into my local Suzuki dealer and see if they can order me one since I get parts at cost. My helmet was 150$ and it cost me $98!@ The ball and chain's helmet was 140 and I paid $89. Yes I know I'm a cheapskate but hey, I've got bills coming out of my ears including my bike payment.  :guns:

I came across that Stance.  The only problem is that the local listed dealer for Z1R only carries the Strike, and it really left me with a negative impression.  I'd want to see the Stance in person first, and they won't order it.

I don't think you'll be able to slip a back protector (and/or sweater) into that jacket.  Suspect the lacing helps fit.  It'll work, but not my style.  If it feels good, go for it.  I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

I rode to Portland and back this weekend with a back protector under it.  It works.

Okay, on that note I'll raise my appraisal to 8 out of 10.  If that's you under that leather, it suits you.  :thumb:  But I have to say that you might cause some distraction with male drivers on the roads out there.  It's their problem, not yours -- and at least you'll be noticed.  :)

Woah, that pink leather is outstanding. The wife is in love with it and wants one. Thanks a lot! Now I have to go find one like it. Where'd you get it from?
