I have 8 "active" helmets. 6 pairs of gloves. 9 jackets. 2 sets of riding pants. Upper and lower Dainese "under armor". 5 pairs of boots. 8 pairs of riding socks (very nice,I highly recommend!). 2 sets of Icon knee armor. Various baclavas,dickies,vests,neck cozies,etc.

3 jackets
1-mesh
1-better quality mesh
1-leather

2 boots
1- street
1- dirt

1 backprotector
1 pr gloves
1 race collar

What do you think your total investment is? If I had 8 of my helmets, 9 jackets, and 5 pairs of boots, those alone would be enough to buy a new bike. :panic:

Do you bargain shop and/or impulse buy things off the WERA boards or other classifieds? Or have you bought all these from retail shops/sites?

Mostly bargain shop. I got a Shark Helmet for $100 for example... Most of my jackets are Icon. For example,I have two Accelerant jackets,one perferated and one normal. I only paid $265 ea for them. I have the Icon Neo-Daytona Hero jacket in blue/gold and the 24k gold TiMax gloves I got for $250 for both. Plus I've been riding for going on 30 years and I rarely throw gear away...

If my husband and I were not both into riding and cars we may have a lot more. But with 3 cars, two bikes, and both of us having a track addiction we keep the gear to the a complete set each.

My husband wants to get a new helmet and a one piece suit...but we also just paid off the vette (:rockwoot:) and will be getting the Miata's suspension upgraded soon. :panic:

That is the jacket I have...same color too. Too bad it is not red....

man I thought I had a lot of gear. Def some good stuff there. Righ tnow I am lookin got upgrade a few things. have 3 helmets although my arai is about to be retired. 3 pairs of gloves including hte gerbings, but I want ot get a new pair of street gloves. A leather 2 piece, a mesh jacket and a textile jacket and textile pants. I will also be getting 2 pairs of the reinforced cargo pants.

Prolly no track for me this year so I need to focus more on commuting, our upstate day rides and a little bit of touring.

BTW yammer where did you get the shelfs your helmets are on I would love ot ge tmy hands on something like that.

5 pairs of gloves, 3 alpinestars, 1 Joe Rocket, 1 winter/cold weather

some under armour, and a neck thingys that keep your face and neck warm

I don't have much.

5 helmets; 2 Shoei's, 1 Fulmer, my wife's AFX and an Xtrex offroad helmet.
1 jacket; Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0, red and black to match my bike.
Couple different pairs of gloves for different weather/rain.

I would like to have a good pair of riding boots, leathers and or a nice leather jacket. I have too much going out paying a mortage, vehicles, wheeling and kids to get much of what I want all at once. :D

damn just bought another Shoei, RF 1000 this time, anybody got one, how do they fit compared to RF 800, 900?
