[ambasnakeman]

Pls participate. I started this poll after my recent injury and cant decide if i should invest on 1. but very ex.

 

Can SBF do a mass order with SBF logo

please at least get a riding jacket and gloves man. they'll save you from serious abrasions. im not saying you have to wear gloves and jacket to the market also, but it is good to wear when you are in a 'playful' mood. especially on rounding trips. oh yeah, good poser value too ^^

If you can't afford a riding jacket, at least buy a riding glove. I think that is the minimal a rider should have when they ride. I wouldn't say a jacket is a must. I've got one, but I don't wear it daily as Singapore is too hot for it. Only wear it when I know I'm gonna push my yourself in Malaysia. Just buy it when you have enough cash to spare. Last but not least, Ride safe!

well if it was not for full protection (leathers) i dont think i'd be able to walk ever again today. leathers @ protection

[Lass]

i think at least a regular cotton or denim jacket is required and gloves too.

[Rebby]

N Jeans!!

[StaN]

Yep, i haf to say that they will definitely protect thought the prices are nothing near cheap.

 

I've had an accident last year and even though i was wearing shoes, i still broke 3 of my toes, was travelling at no more than 60km/h. So you can imagine the damage it'll do if i was wearing slippers.

 

The hospital fees alone came up to 3k....not including the return trips to the hospital. The hassle of using crutches for 3 months.....

 

I weighed the cost of a pair of boots, a jacket n gd gloves(total less than $900)......they don't even come close to the price that i had paid...........

 

So now i always feel that safety gear is important.... they may not come cheap, but medical bills will cost more. If you have the $$ to buy a nice bike, take gd care of it.... how come no $$ to buy gear? Save up slowly to get it, its ok......just dun ever think that its not important.....

i tink everything riding is ok... but if its for touring or in msia.... i must say its a must

[Guest aiya4]

if you think its important, its important, if you think its not, its not.

there are inexpensive range of riding gear, depends on what kind you want, what kind you can afford.

 

May I ask, when you say expensive, what range were you looking at?

I would say, If U can buy A bike, Y not spent a bit at ure normal riding gear.... It's will save ure life.

 

For example, think at d other ways, Hw much u think ure life worth? Then buy safety gear at d amount U can afford to.

the difference of protection gear quality is when ur body touches the tarmac...

thats when u know how much savings in exchange for ur sufferings..

[Guest aiya4]

dun understand, recent injury still make you indecisive about investing of simple riding gears, I dunno what else would make you really start to get them.

 

maybe something like permanent loss of limbs? or... wheelchair bound? or bed ridden for the rest of your life?

[MiCmAsTa]

Its not about the looks of you wearing a full gear...

 

Its about the safety....

 

Get a full face and protect your chin...

 

(I got a 3 stitch on my chin last year)

[Arcfire]

Yeah, be thankful that u are still alive and can move ur 4 limbs.... so if you don't want to get protective gears, the least you can do is up your insurance coverage to at least be able to support your parents till they pass away......

[pistolwhip]

never compromise on gear, boots, jackets, gloves, fullface......ram into car, fly face first into door, roll around on the ground......bruised n banged, but not a scratch...

[Kr0n]

Yeah man I love his sig too! Anyway, can anyone recommend a good brand of jacket? I'm looking at about 500 or below. Was considering the RC 100 short jacket..

 

Riders with experience on this jacket please comment. Thanks!

 

Cheers

[rex]

all these riding is really damn expensive but think about it, its a very good investment. it might actually one day save your life...im totally proper riding gear.....the miminum should be....jeans, good shoes, glove and jacket

[Arcfire]

You forgot the most important one.....a gd lid on ur head

[Xiao_Di]

at least buy a normal jacket like RJAY cost around $160 can save u liao

 

a normal glove cost around $40 to $70 can save ur hand
