Badass Full Body Armor for Motorcyclist.
 
So in my journey to find a motorcycle within my price range.
I also did alot of research and came to the conclusion that...I need some badass body armor to go along with it.
And you tell me, is this badass enough?

The Dark Knight Rises™ - BATMAN™ Leather Motorcycle Suit

You tell me folks, you tell me.

Trololololol, come on you would deff still try it on

They both look like you could only wear them during halloween and even then you're probably trying too hard.

Not sure I would use them for street or track gear, but the second link does look pretty sweet.

I would mod my lid to be a bat-helm and crack u every time i ride. That is cool. It will get way too hot to weak leather in the summer even with the lining off. Do yourself a fa favor and s supper set riding and a winter sent riding. This mainly means a mesh jackets with guards and gloves that breath and a leather jacket and 3/4 to gull gauntlets. The other thing to consider is the wrist are on the jacket. Will the glove slid over under it.

dude, if you hit the ground, you're still fvcked even with that gear on.. the ground is unforgiving.. I'm glad I gave up riding speed bikes.. and I'm still around to talk about it. I lost a few friends on motorcycles... It sucks man.

Minsu 07-31-2014 09:30 PM

It's full suit, it zips at the waist, and errglove slides under then the forearm.and wrist guard cover it all

Minsu 07-31-2014 09:31 PM

I just wanted it cause I was probably gonna go at lower speeds and thought it would be nice to have for a sub 40mph fall

eastwest2300 07-31-2014 09:35 PM

yeah but its like heaven forbid if you do have a spill and you land on your back, there is ZERO protection on your back besides the leather, I'm telling you, the concrete aint giving up ANY resistance, and Im afraid that leather would literally shred apart.. It'd be a bad deal.

just my 2 cents.

Sure it hurts. However, It's Better to have that cow skin scrape the floor than my own.

Gear up Mitsu.

I have never landed on my back but my bro had a big spill in leathers. H walked away unscathed. Much like your lid, leathers or gear for that matter only work when they are worn nd fitted correctly.

Will there be XXXXL size?

Minsu 07-31-2014 10:22 PM

It would still be too small.for me

DjSquall 08-07-2014 06:08 AM

One important way good leather will protect you is I'm case of a spill, you'll just slide instead of rolling and breaking every bone in your body.

But in Minsu's case, cheap synthetics will do. :roflpuke2:

Roddy1 08-07-2014 11:10 AM

would be extra distracting if that stuff came in skin colour.

First question.
1. Why do want to look like Batman?
2. Why wont you buy a one piece leather race suit?
3. What kind of bike do you ride?

I rode sport bikes up until about a year or so ago and started ASR (Austin Sport Bike Riders) group on Meetup.com. I've seen a lot of people come and go and lost a few good friends along the way. I quit riding due to neck and back issues and getting too many tickets and riding way to fast. I was a corner freak and if I wasnt scraping a peg somewhere I became board thus riding harder and faster.

My friends suggested doing a track day and I did and had a blast doing it but its very expensive with fees, traveling, and gear. I did a track day at Cresson north of Dallas.

I decided to give up my sport bike for my 370Z actually to at least keep a little fun in my life but do miss those group rides heading to the twisted sisters burning those corners up.

Im not sure how long you have been riding but my advice is this.

HID headlight (MUST HAVE!!!)
Bright gear. Yea you look kinda stupid but everyone does see you.
Pretend you are invisible.
Helmet all the time. Every time.
Ride your own ride and dont try to keep up with your buddies. This is where most of the guys go down as they ride beyond their skill level. Use your brains not your nut sack.
Dont stunt.... please... we all will hate you. Even the motorcyclists will.
Leather is your best bet in case you low side. It will save your hide.

Last but not least, when you throw your leg over your ride, put this thought in your head. "I could die today if Im not careful"

Enjoy your ride, wear your gear, and be safe. Keep the rubber side down.
