I remember a waiter asking me if I had a dirtbike because I was wearing a Fox hat…

He seems annoyed when I said no.

You cannot deny the gear, but the casual clothing is indeed as gay as fox racing shit.

that’s why i stopped wearing shit, even though i actually rode. it would piss me the fuck off when people wore it as casual wear

it’s like people with BOOSTGETSYOULAID stickers on their car when they dont even have fucking boost. fuckin virgins :jays:

Doesn’t bother me that people wear Fox stuff, or Alpinestars t-shirts.  
Its just corporate branding.

If your wearing the stuff because everyone else is your a tool. The world needs tools  
to sustain the bottom line.

I hope you are an actual racer, because you wearing the stuff on the street probably makes you look like tool to real racers.

lol so true. I thought it was cool when you could only buy their t-shirts and stuff at places that actually sold riding gear. fuck that, now I’d feel pretty weird wearing any of their stuff besides my jacket

meh i have never been big into alpinestars but at the same time its kind of silly to go buy new gear cause a lot of people are wearing it (weather its for actual motorcycle use or not) its a mass produced clothing/motorcycle gear line…get over it?

no worse than surf/skate shirts

People could be an avid moto-x fan supporting a company that sponsors racers. 15 year old kids can’t enjoy motorcycle racing?

I’m pretty sure thats not the point here… it’s referring to the “siqqq new trendy brand” that people just wear to wear it and have no idea what it actually is or care
