I do miss my textile when it’s really hot, but from what happened to it in the accident I’m glad I bought a full leather one. Held up good tho I must say.
Gauntlets. I need them.

I’ll try to get a link to my textile…its pretty damn solid compared to others i’'ve seen.
If you look at it compared to any icon textile…my joe rocket is like 10X thicker/heavier… lol.

I have an HJC helmet but plan on upgrading to a shoei rf1000. Have heard nothing but great things about them and they are reasonably priced.
I dont feel the HJC is THAT heavy i just cant stand the damn wind noise.

i had an icon mainframe helmet that wasn’t as expensive as a shoei if someone is looking for another option. it was really quiet and pretty light in comparison to others in that price range. there were vents on the top that kept it really cool, although if you had your head in the perfect spot they would whistle, but it was hard to find the spot. just an fyi.

When Im out ripping wheelies I prefer the hoody or maybe even T-shirt. Must have sleeves if Im on the street. Sleeveless in the lots is ok tho. For a helmet I wear a Shoei RF1000 or my dirtbike helmet.

Well, if it’s a sport bike, I usually see them in flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt. Last summer there were a couple of guys riding on the same bike. That’s not something you’d see on a Harley. No nuts to butts!
