This is some of the gear I wear racing, its all I have at the house. the rest is with the bike. A pair of car driving shoes, Sidi boots, a Very hi-end shoei helmet and another shoei from 2001. I painted it and retired it after having a major hi-side in the mtns. the interior was crushed but the shell came out pretty good. says alot about shoei. 70mph smack on the head, then a slide into the guardrail. You guys don't know pain until you have a hi-side!

Its the helmets that get me. A pair of knee pucks or toe sliders are cheap. But the helmets..... just one drop, even if it just falls off the bike has to be replaced. So I started buying the new KBC airforce helmets. same material and weight. coolmax replaceable liners. But you know the rule. 5 dollar head, 5 dollar helmet. I have some spare suits with the hard armor and aero hump backs. If your a size 44 they will fit.
