Jacket Advice...

will go well with a silver bike

Hey,

That's what I was thinking...silver on silver... I sure hope the silver doesn't flake off... Should be here mid-next week! Thanks again for the advice.

Thanks Coombest for this, "The Teknic stuff is pretty good gear... It's good enough for our reigning British Superbike Champion, John Reynolds to rely on, as well as others, such as Aaron Yates in the AMA Superbike Championship." That really made sense to me. Great point!

FWIW My gear is silver as well. I am going onto my 2nd season and it still looks good. (except for the peppering of dead bugs, but wachagonnado)

I should have it in about 4-5 days!

That'll match your bike just fine... You've got the jacket, what do you wear on your legs (please don't say jeans )

Funny you should mention that. I have a pair of black teknic riding pants. I bought them to go with my old jacket (which I since sold). I don't need the pants so I'd gladly sell em if you're interested Mitch. They are size 32 waist (I'll check and confirm when I get home), black, with perforation in the thigh area. I am 6' 170 (160 when I wore em) and they fit loosely enough to be comfy. (though they were a tad on the short side. No biggie with boots on though) They have a zipper to attach them to teknic jackets (how convenient is that?) Anyway, I paid $75 for em, and I'll let em go for the princely sum of $50 (plus P&P) The only problem (there is always one problem) is one of the zippers on the ankle has come off. (an easy repair at any tailor shop) Anyway, lemme know.

Hey,

It finally came in. It was just after 10 when I was at home during my spare... nice timing I do say.









Thanks,

Mitch

All that aside, that is one nice jacket Mitch

I have some Teknic gloves andlove them, very underated gear IMHO.

The flash makes it look a lot worse. It's more of a silver, almost a white it's so light in colour. Looks good in my opinion. Glad to hear your happy with your gloves. Hope I will being saying the same about my jacket.
