new pants, helmet oh a little more bling - Monyx - 14-04-2007
Something about Saturday mornings, sleep in a little then wonder out to the shops and spend my hard earned :pi_money:
Got some Draggins, decided to try the Chinos as well which I don't see around a lot - hopefully get by with a shirt & tie as plan is to wear  'em into work.
Get home, and grabbed pair Yoshi TRS that I spotted on ebay couple days ago:

Nice ! I bought a pair of the black Draggins a while back. I find them a bit clingy and restrictive and they ride up a bit. But... they do the job and allow me to arrive at social functions without always looking like I just did 30 laps at Eastern Creek. (I prefer my full leathers... but its so hard to find suitable social settings for them...)
I also bought an RJays EVO winter jacket on the same shopping trip. It's great. For almost 20 years I've ridden all year round, but I found last year I was feeling the cold.... getting older I guess. This EVO jacket is very warm and snug so I'm looking forward to riding comfortably in any conditions this winter.
I picked up Astrobusa Mark II in mid-August last year and vividly remember going for a long ride the night I picked her up. Full leathers with a jumper underneath in frigid conditions = brass monkey time. The first two hours I didn't feel any pain.... new bike syndrome had set in. At about 1am, with a 'still' temperature of 4 degrees and a wind chill of something I don't even want to think about... I was saved by Max (owner of the Road Warriors Cafe) who loaned me his winter jacket. This year, I'm prepared !

What about your father in law markus, has he replaced that stacked helmet yet?

He's got my spare AGV while he's awaiting insurance assessor due down to Canb this week. These are possibly his new pipes (or taking my RS3s) one or the other at least.

draggins are good but i feel theyve priced themselves out somewhat @$229 last i priced them. I bought an Icon locally for $100 has added padding on knees but not on butt. they felt so good I bought another pair in black, previous was denim blue. and got the Icon bling helmet a few months before that with gold visor.

I've 2 pr of the combat dragins.  Paid a lot less than $200/pr for them too! (Second pair I only got just before the Jindy trip) A bit warm here in Qld during the summer but otherwise the way to go
