Thats how I get down...
I've only been riding 1 season, so yet to find pants i want.. (leather or textile?)
but my gear so far:
2 helms
1 Astar jacket
1 low cut mesh glove
1 leather glove
1 pair or low boots which are junk
this summer I hope to get some pants, most likely textile and better boots. Oh and i want a tankbag but unsure what one is good, any suggestions w/o treat jacking would be great, I'll search for it sometime.
