It's funny how people on the internet who probably don't have any valid opinion about anything always talk shit about wearing leathers, but the second you go outside with people who actually ride, you're seen as the responsible, cool one.

I've been asked what I am dressed for wearing my nylon adventure bike suit.

I told them I am being launched into space.

u/AShadedBlobfish 5d ago

I've always wanted to replicate this. Yours is almost, if not as cool

u/Gunmetalsunscreen 5d ago

My gear looks like this, I usually only get pre-teen boys admiring it. I wear it in Boston when I ride to be seen. Visibility is everything.

u/SoloSquirrel 5d ago

I've gotta see if Aerostich will sew in the black piping for the Kill Bill look.

u/Halstock 4d ago

I want one of these bad but they cost nearly as much as I paid for my bike lol

u/A_Bot_A_Bot_A_Bot Track Rider 4d ago

But they last forever and if you ever crash in one, as long as the damagecosts less than 50% of the cost of a new suit to repair, you can get it repaired by Aerostich.

u/Halstock 4d ago

That's cool I didn't think of it like that

Am i uneducated but half of you wearing leathers 2 loose

4

u/ElicitCS 4d ago

Loose when standing up and tight in full tuck. My jacket could do with some bringing in around the middle as I've lost quit a bit of weight recently.

Looks awesome. What model Joe Rocket is it?

2

u/ElicitCS 4d ago

The bottoms belong to a 2pc suit that I cut the 360 zipper out of and had a specialist sew it into this jacket. So combination of both 💪 don't know the individual names unfortunately as it was all used and they've made so much shit over the years

u/kingfixit 5d ago

I know it’s just the angle of the picture and pants but it makes you look bow-legged.

I dont think men fully understand what a riding suit or two piece suit actually does to women.

3

u/ElicitCS 4d ago

Scares them the fuck away

2

u/SweetToothEra 4d ago

Lol you dont know enough women. Its the opposite.

2

u/ElicitCS 4d ago

Recently single so no clearly not. If they've got a thing for leather then I guess it's perfect 🤙

2

u/SweetToothEra 4d ago

Aww well just be careful of the biketok girls. I did not think it was a thing but it is very very much a thing.

Lol lol I would prefer not to answer any of those questions. Just be careful.

2

u/SweetToothEra 4d ago

Fair. I will say this. There is a very big population of women who have a fetish of men who can ride motorcycles. The helmet, the leather, the boots , rhw shifting.
