A little while ago I blogged about losing weight and having to do something about my now over sized elephant sized leathers. Well yesterday after extensive looking around at whats available and even trying on bushpigs new dainese suit I decided I'd get myself an Alpinestars GP R jacket with a a set of Alpinestars missile leather pants. I can't wait to get out for a ride in my new gear. Hopefully I don't put any weight on over the coming winter, I don't want to have to buy a third set. Your right bro motorcycles will keep you penny-less, well that and kids.
great looking gear there
ReplyDeleteis the jacket a goretex style of material [or do i look it up]
Hi mate
DeleteThe jacket is leather although down the inside of the arms its like some gorex material, probably to make it lighter
thanks for the reply
Deleteso not waterproof then
but looks the goods i like it
Definetly not water proof mate, i have a dry rider to throw over the top if needed.
DeleteChiller, looking forward to some pix of your new svelte self in the new togs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Theo, I can't wait to try them out
DeleteWell deserved after losing some pounds.
ReplyDeleteYou worked hard to do it, I am sure they'll stay off over the winter.
I've been slack these last couple of weeks, just have to make sure I don't pile it back on
DeleteNice! My road riding Alpine Stars goretex pants are swimming on me now...Luckily my new Adv gear was bought after I dropped some of my blubber.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear mate, its expensive buying all this stuff
DeleteVery sharp looking! I like the yellow it adds some panache! You aren't the only one who worries about gaining weight over winter and gear fitting in the spring. My winter involves Christmas baking that my daughter does and then me consuming.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dar
DeleteVisability should be ok with the flouro highlights
My goal this winter is to not put all the weight back on
