gear:
Syed custom leathers
Held Gloves
Teknic Violator boots
Arai Aoyama helmet


I only buy (or get from sponsors) what I WANT. So I have it all. I'm admittedly very very lucky.

This year I'll order my custom 2 piece Syed street suit.

If I buy a top-end suit, it'll be because I can afford it. I can only afford 5-600 dollar suits now. Might have to get one as a gift from the wifey one of these significant days. And I'll be doing a lot of searching to find the cheapest deal.

Yeah I'm in the same boat... I can't afford what I really want, so I'm going to wait until I can. When I can, my current two-piece will become my street gear.

I was just saying when you do have the cash to get something top-of-the-line (say 12 hundred bucks or so)... I would recommend (from reveiews people have given me) going custom instead of off the rack... check out vanson, syed, zee customs, etc... I've checked a lot of them out in person... VERY nice stuff.

I am good on gear. My suit isn't messed up at all and fits perfect. I got klucky pucks for the track and wiz sparkies for screwing around. My SMX plus boots fit nice, have a little big wheel wear. Just got a X-11 that fits perfect. Got a pair of GP Tech gloves and the fit and feel awesome, Killboy let me borrow his pair and I fell in love with them, so got me a pair. Got the tech back protector as well.

A bluetooth chatterbox would be nice but not necessary. I need a trailer and a XT lap timer next.

Not on my own dime, plus that perk relies on training. Plus I need it for towing the fiddy to the races around town. I will eventually get a pick up, but have other things I need to get first, like a house.
