Re: Riding Gear was [ST] ST bars on an RS...



Garry,

Here would be my suggestions for riding gear - I'm sure there are other
options but here goes:

Normal Weather - Triumph Leathertex Jeans $205 - I got them on sale for
$185 - great pair of pants, nothing like jeans, have built in armor
(removable) and are at the least weather resistant.

Hot Weather - after my love at first use experience with my Triumph Raptor
jacket, I'll be picking up the matching pants.  Again they have removable
armor - list is $125 but if you haggle you can get them for $115.  Can't
wait to get these and best of all they'll zip together with the jacket.  I
haven't been able to find these of Triumphs site or Great Bay's (my dealer)
so they're pretty new and not all dealers may have them.  Great Bay has them
is stock and can order whatever size you need.

Overpant - I'd go with the Joe Rocket Ballistic Pants.  You might be able to
find some leftover ver. 3.0 pants that are supposed to breathe better than
the 4.0's, but the 4's are more waterproof.  www.newenough.com sells them
for $129 + shipping.  As a bonus to you JR offers 'tall' sizes.

Well, that's my two cents and probably worth about as much.

Jeez, I absolutely gotta find some riding pants...
Nobody stocks my size (tall and skinny) and I'm leary to buy sight unseen. I
think I really want a pair of overpants (for commuting) and dedicated pairs
of summer and not-summer riding pants. Three pairs at $200 (or more) a pop.
SWMBO would not be amused. Road rash wouldn't amuse her either though...
