Oversized leathers?

Doesn't make the Underdog Leathers folks any less a pack
of spammer bitches though.

You're absolutely right. Let everyone either coming into motorcycling or
replacing gear they bought in the early 90's go on thinking that leathers
just cost $1500 and up as a matter of course, and that if you want leathers,
that's what you have to be prepared to pay.

Nice touch you opting out of being archived on Google, too...

 

Eh?

If you are aligning yourself with Allen Kirk, its time for someone to post
you the tin hat!

Well, remembering how that guy tried to turn ausmoto into a seminar for his
con-job motorcycle safety consultancy, and the titanic clashes Clem had with
him before he finally admitted defeat and resigned himself to browbeating a
much more pliable audience, ie. Americans, it's almost like Clem's developed
this hyper-sensitivity towards the group being used for even a hint of
commercial activity.

Thinking about it, shit I'd've been laying into that clown had I been around
at the time.

 

A visit to any MC accessories store will tell you that
leathers don't need to cost anywhere neat $1500.00. Dunno
where you made that figure up from.

Doesn't make the Underdog Leathers folks any less a pack
of spammer bitches either.

I need some leathers. Had a look at the Underdog stuff
on Sunday at Mt White too. They seem pretty good, and
well priced. I won't buy from them though - basic
principle of life: If you buy from spammers, they keep
spamming.

You say that like there's something wrong with it. Are
you a spammer bitch too?

Bob

 

And rightly so. Usenet ain't for spammer bitches. Spammer
bitches are leeches who take advantage of the goodwill of
folks who ship usenet around the planet at their own expense
for their own evil commercial porpoises. Spammer bitches
are an offense to the fundamental principles that teh
intarweb was built on. Spammer bitches are evil.

Underdog Leathers are spammer bitches trying to be clever
spammer bitches. It ain't working.

.....and what was I, chopped liver?

Hammo

 

From my own early wanderings around accessory shops and dealers, when I was
a know-nothing noob, at the mercy of cynical sales staff who had the twin
options of either getting me to pay out of my arse for the good stuff, or a
more sane amount, but for stuff which would peel back every time you go
above 160.

I crashed in a set of cheap leathers of the sort you buy from a shop. Every
seam which had a chance to, failed. A fetish outfit would've held up better.

Btw, from memory, top-of-the-line Dainese and Alpinestars suits are nudging
three grand these days, aren't they?

Are you honestly expecting anyone to believe a word of that?

Yes, there is. It means you want the ability to plop into the middle of any
discussion you please without fear of having something you might say come
around and bite you in the arse later.

See, for instance, since only so many people have replied to your past
posts, I can't quite figure out if you're just another gutless, bored
halfwit trying to shit-stir, or are you really as stupid as your foaming at
the mouth here makes you seem?

Though I do actually have an idea of who you might be... how's the Blade?

As opposed to a trolling bitch?

 

(sigh) Chopped liver, no, not by any means. An acknowledgement junkie, on
the other hand...

Reading back over some of those threads, though... you used to one angry,
angry young Hammo...

 

whats top of the range ??

not too long ago i was in Actions and they had Daunese for $1500

the ducati branded dainese are around or just over $2K

makes the ones i got at cashies for $450 a bargain pity about the colours
though

 

If all the Italians weren't so fond of building their entire faken websites
out of Flash, I'd have the patience to tell you.... but basically the suits
with the Quasimodo aero-hump on the back, offset zipper, hard plastic
shoulders with the incorporated vents and possibly the pointless little bits
of embossed titanium in the shoulders and knees... like, near-replicas of
what the world-level racers wear. You're not going to find those in stock at
many shops. I just reckon it takes a bit of a hide (boom-boom) to slap that
kind of pricetag on what is, after all, a garment.

I'm not saying everything Dainese costs three grand; although, if someone
was selling one of their suits for $1500 these days, it's either very old
(like, superseeded stock from 3-4 years ago) or very basic, like the
single-colour Luce suit which half the sportsbike riders in Melbourne seem
to have bought; in black, of course.

Not wrong there...

 

Im waiting to be told too, but he seems to have gone quiet on that
battle front

Yanno, it's always been acceptable for commercial bods to say "yeah I do
that" *if* they contribute to the group in other ways.

Since 1992 at least.

And what the ****'s an "intarweb"?

Zebee

 

I should also add that Dainese are somewhat in the doghouse with me because
they cut most of their range, save for a couple of the humbler designs, off
as size 56E. I'm 60E.

It's like Dainese are telling me I'm expendable.

Homey don't play that...

 

Gary, does your sig suggest that Gandhi was guilty of those sins, or that he
considered them to be sins?

It's just a list. Have you heard of this Gandhi chap before? Was he
wealthy? Was he principled? What was his sacrifice?

In other words, I'm having two bob each way.

Gandhi was a Hindu, no Hell for them, so you can come back as... a gnat.
