Are these spiffy new Teknic Chicane leathers. Need sliders and new boots, too. Still browsing for the boots.



Black, of course.

Just don't get the green.

teknic chicane...that just sounds hardcore

Oh god no. No Kawasucki green for my Yamaha riding ass parts.

I'd go for the white + grey one

Not on my bike, which is blacker that Darth Vader's asshole.

AND THAT'S FUCKING BLACK.

i leik the green :icon14:

The authentic Yamaha blue or black gear would look even better.

red = teh 0wn@ge :icon34::icon14:

Why do I expect those 4 outfits to break out into a synchronized "YMCA" dance?

because you're so fucking gay?
BLAHAHAhahahHAhaa oh god,,,,,BAKLALAHAHAHA....jesus I crack myself up.

The red looks okay, but I'd definitely go with black.

I'd go with red. It'll hide the blood stains from when you crash in a head on collison with a school bus as you speed your way on some zippy scenic highway and your body snaps into three unrecognizable pieces with one part getting stuck under the school's tire well and your face exploding into a million slimy gooey pieces into the cabin of the bus carrying forty elementary school children five of who will be scared for life as bits of your eyes and nose and scalp land in their faces and they notice for the first time in their life that blood stings when it gets in the eye.

Actually, I don't think the color of the outfits matters too much at that point.

honestly, if you dont crash in a car i dont see why you would crash on a bike....

irresponsibility will get you in an accident regardless of your mode of transportation.

You've never done much riding on the street then. Riding a bike is a constant exercise in self-preservation with all the idiot drivers on the road.

The problem is people aren't looking for motorcycles. Hell, people come strait into my lane as if I weren't there and I drive a 4-door.

interestingly enough, that is the absolute cheapest suit you can buy, sounds like a gramps purchase to me.

PS: i have a lighting, and i crash tested it. great suit.

Quality or price-wise? I looked around a good bit, and these things are damn expensive. I'm not dropping a grand on leathers, but I don't want to buy to buy junk.

hehe i was just kidding. check out http://www.newenough.com i got my lightning for $369, and if i remember right the chicane is a little bit less.

and like i said i crash tested mine and it held up great.

PS: i am drunk so if i don't make sense now i will correct that in the morning

PPS: no i don't ride drunk, ever.

edit: yes $349 at newenough, but they don't have the all black one. they used to, but they sold out i guess. at that price, however i would just pick up the black/gunmetal one.

Donkey schlong!

erm, is that a good thing?

oh yeah, here's another good deal: http://www.newenough.com/alpinestars_gp ... t_page.htm

and also check out their ebay auctions here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrp ... Znewenough

whenever they have just a few sizes left they ebay them, and i've seen chicane suits go for $150 so if you can find the right side you can save money.

hehe :lol: @ tnf and mjrpes

yea people be driveing right into when thay be done distracted by your tight leather .

i like the idea of you grabbing some lycra road bike shorts

Yes, that's my bastardization of danke schon. That Alpinestars suit is nice, but I don't want to spend $600. Not when it's going to be another $150 -$200 for boots.

I think it's great that you're putting safety first and not worrying about what other people think. I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those horrid looking things. Good for you, man. :icon14:

ah, makes sense. btw i don't work for those guys, but i get 90% of my gear there. once you start wearing a 1 piece suit. they are also helpful with sizing, and one time when i needed an exchange they cross shipped at no extra charge. usually when you want good prices you have to put up with bad service, but this is not the case with them.


are you getting some sidis? i might pick up a pair of these http://www.newenough.com/sidi_vertebra_2_boots_page.htm

my friend picked up a pair of Alpinestars SMX 3 boots for $170 locally, if you know your size and want me to check i can see if they have any more there. the lowest net price i've seen for those is $215
