Have been thinking lately after seeing some fashon crimes out riding , what do TSM members wear.
i.e do you buy 1 particular brand or do you buy whats cheap.
Are you covered head to toe in Fox for example.
What got me thinking is seeing old overweight guys wearing pink/orange/red gear which may look good on a teenager but not on an old guy.
Worst offenders are KTM riders over 50 wearing KTM issue DHL/Acerbis race gear. :-[ Midlife crises ?
So what do you wear ?
Myself:
Shark MXR Helmet
Scott Goggles
EVS Vest
Fox Jersey Black/White
661 Elbow guards
EVS Gloves
M2R Pants Black/White
661 Knee guards
TCX Boots
-
Old Bieffe helmet
old Scott goggles
old sweat shirt
old cargo pants
old work boots... all worn by an old guy on an old bike :D
-

i have seen these fashion crimes as well...being a girl i notice these things. but i will say in the old mens defense, they are wearing these because im sure back in the 80's and 90's when they werent old men that was the style. and ive noticed there is a big comeback in the 80's throwbacks. then again, maybe they've had these jerseys since the 80's
Andrew what size helmet do you wear? maybe i can find you one around here and send it your way. i dont care what anyones jerseys look like...but im a stickler for safety gear. Drives me insane to hear when a rider gets hurt and it coulda been prevented by some safety gear. Charles' ribs (chest protector..the first time) Harleys knee (you have braces for a reason). Andrew dont you dare touch that bike without a helmet on or i will personally make a trip to washington to glue one on your head!
As for what i wear, i dont do any track riding its all woods. so anything i dont mind getting a hole in. usually i wear a hoodie and already ripped up jeans...oh the best part, my boots that i have ducttaped completly from toe to knee.

I need to replace the sinisalo as my Berg was continually burning holes in them >:( The emt's cut off my old trusty MSR S6's so I need some new stuff-it's just all so butt F ugly.I've been looking at Moose gear as it seems to be fairly neutral colors with no queer designs and such all over it.

Or......maybe she just wants you to look different-sort of like you buying her a different colored wig and outfit to wear to bed :D
Either that or I'm just jealous as mine always chews me out when I buy something-which is why I don't tell her :D
