Ive been waiting for spring and a good deal to buy some much needed riding gear and I found just the deal I was looking for. For all you riders out there check out newenough.com. I'm getting a Hell of a deal on full leather gloves on clearance for $17. Some of the prices are normal, some are decent but other prices are amazing..

Some of the prices on their boots were normal, and they all their Icon stuff was expensive. I used www.DSRpowersports.com for one of my helmets and they were great to deal with.

I'm looking to get the new 09' Icon Tarmac street boot, or the SIDI B2 Race boot. I honestly might just get both since I plan on hitting a track day with the bike as soon as I get a 1 piece. I also have to order new gloves this year.

What did you end up getting? I'm a huge fan of Icon stuff. I have an Icon, HJC & Gmax helmet, Alpine leather jacket, Teknic mesh jacket & a pair of worn out Icon gloves.

Safety first! Gear saved my ass twice already. They are ment to remove shoe laces and protect your toes & ankles. The white sneakers are meant to go with blue jeans and my black jackets & helmets for street riding. And you need to wear boots at the track, and all that plastic is ment to warn you when you get to low into a turn. Now I just need a one piece suit.

I wear steel toe work boots when I ride. Actual motorcycle boots don't really fit me right so it is hard to use the shifter and brakes. According to the NTSB high steel toes are supposed to be just as safe.

I wear an old pair of Sears Roebuck steel toes, the area where the clutch is has worn out the hide to nothing :lol:

I have to make some more room in my garage, hopefully I can have my bike actually living at my house in the next few weeks. She needs a new battery and a bath, then it is time to ride :)

I plan on some riding shoes. I went with a cheap leather jacket because I'm pretty sure I will be getting rid of this bike in august for a bigger bike and want my gear to match that bike. I want those sidi boots in white!!!!! I cant wait till I can head to a track day. That seems like it would be the most fun anyone can have with their pants on.
