is there a way to look good and functional at the same time?.
>>18654469yes
>>18654469nbt, tcx, pando moto and alpinestars for urban gearrst, alpinestars, dainese, rev'it for sportbike gearthat's if you want really nice looking gear. if you're in the US and on a budget, just buy whatever's in cycle gear. I only buy italian gear these days because it's all that fits my build. american brands are better if you're a lard. run a legit helmet like arai or shoei and an airbag if you have the money. i use the shoei x15 and helite h-moov (electronic version) and i won't ride without it at this point. there's a motorcycle general on /o/, you could ask them as wellwhat do you ride?
The one time you're justified in wearing a leather jacket.
>>18654469It's doable. It's really annoying to find gear that doesn't make you look like a marshmallow thobeit.
>>18654471somebody needs to come get their mom
>>18654469 no>>18654471 amazing, best in show>>18654735 functional (good)>>18654767 absolutely not>>18654792 incredible but texhnicly a moped or something
I just embrace the Dual Sport look. I've thought for a while that jeans and a flannel would be pretty /fa/ though, and you can get armored/kevlar lined versions of both that look pretty normal but are safe riding gear.
Harley has a cult following in Japan and lots of those dudes wear stuff like vintage Carhartts and selvedge denim. >>18657285I've been thinking about getting armor like that but what's it like in +25 degree weather?
>>18657355I assume you mean 25C? It's about as good as it gets for hot weather, wear a jersey over the top and air flows right through the whole setup. Do keep in mind that it's really meant for dirt and not that protective on the road though, the armor panels themselves might hold up but everything else will shred instantly if you go down at speed.
>>18657405Is it worn with a t-shirt underneath?
>>18657429That's how I wear it anyway. I think a long sleeve Under Armor-type thing would be ideal but I don't have one. Might also be worth mentioning that you can get reinforced abrasion-resistant shirts/jackets designed to be worn over these, to make them properly safe for street riding. I know the Klim Dakar is one example.
>>18654469Dress for the slide, not for the ride.>>18657718I'd love to see that bitch crash in that outfit!
>>18657732Beautiful MV Agusta F4! It's an F4, right?
>>18657750Yes. It’s actually a scene from The Dark Knight Rises. Bruce Wayne has a collection of Ducatis, MV Augustas, and other high end motorcycles in the film.
>>18657708>Might also be worth mentioning that you can get reinforced abrasion-resistant shirts/jackets designed to be worn over these, to make them properly safe for street riding.

I've heard the fitting on Klim is all fucked up, what's your experience with that (also factoring in armor underneath)?
Basically if you aren't wearing a pair of picrel, and absolutely nothing else, I consider you a fair weather biker who must not enjoy having legs below their knees
>>18657762Thanks, Anon!
