Thinking about new suit and gloves

JTpaintball70 · 03-15-2008

Well, I was looking at work and thinking about getting these:
http://www.kawasaki.com/KawasakiNew/...at egoryId=42
http://www.kawasaki.com/KawasakiNew/...t egoryId=182

I can get them for better than anything else, and they look like they're well made. I'm wondering what ya'll thought about them?

(I have my first trackday with the new bike on the 6th, and I'm just looking for things to buy before then

Gear that matches the bike would be nice

)

NATHAN!

Get away from the screen!

Close the catalogs!

It's the secret intention of every m/c shop never to pay you for your hours worked. They just leave catalogs lying around, knowing you'll spend every dime you've earned.

Betcha go faster wearing those duds.

No kidding!

But I'm not minding right now, cause the money I'm gonna be making at the dealership is mostly fun money. I'll be paying my bills from the money I make with the ambulance service

Probably would, but I won't get to test THAT particular theory...

Well... Let's just say I love our Parts Unlimited Rep.
I got last years blue version of this:
MX-1 Racing Leather Suit - Alpinestars Official Store
For dirt cheap

Looks like I'll be set for the trackday after some toys gets here!

Nathan, I take if from your post that you got the job you were interviewing for. I've been checking for the post you had been talking about it in, but couldn't find it. That's great. Hoping this wind finally dies down, been blowing like 30 to 40 mph over here. By the way the gear looks great.

Thanks

Yea, I got hired on with Superior. I start a week of orientation on Monday. And then I'll be working 4 12's a week

Wow those are cheap prices. I like them.

Wow that is a pretty cheap price on that suit, I paid 325 for my agv forza one piece I got the gray/gunmetal one. The kawasaki one looks better.

Look like good prices. I paid 60 bucks for my alpinestar gloves and they're the short ones not the gauntlet style.

I've been looking at suits myself but just can't justify one right now.
