New jacket
 

I just bought a new Icon jacket at Iron Pony here in Columbus. It was on sale for $100. I thought I was a good deal. I went riding the other day and no joke I had 3 or 4 people call me a penis. I guess I was called that word because my jacket, gloves, helmet, and my bike match. I don’t know. Can anyone tell me way we are looked down upon by others just because I wear gear that matches my bike?

Tell them to fuck off and them show them how to get a knee down as you learn to actually ride your bike.

jealousy is a nasty bitch.

W e r d.

Seriously, who gives a fuck. If you like to match, go for it.

i was matching sunday, and everybody gave me hell over it...but looking back they matched too, i think it was because i'm usually wearing one of the helmets that dont match anything but sunday i was

They may not have been commenting about your matching gear but more likely your choice of gear brand. Icon has a reputation of being more about looks and less about protection. Honestly I've never owned any piece of Icon gear, but I know people who do and when they've gone down the protection was adequate. Don't worry about those idiots, ride your own ride and pat yourself on the back for being fully geared.

Yea fuck those cock suckers! It's unbelievable the lengths people will go to just to insult each other! At least you were wearing gear. As far as reputation goes,Alpinestars was the first company I know of to produce "stunting gear" and also the first to sponsor stunters. I've gone down a few times in Icon gear and it has held up wonderfully! Quite frankly,I have a Dainese jacket that fell apart when I got in a crash about ten years ago. Shit,my Joe Rocket jacket feels like a sweatshirt compared to my Icon jackets.

I'm not a fan of Icon. I do, however, own a pair of their gloves. The fit isn't great. But I crashed in them and they held up spectacularly. No busted seems, leather didn't wear through. And the carbon knuckle did what it should do.

It's cause you are a penis.... fag!

Or maybe your zipper was down and the chicks were telling you your junk was hanging out???? :idk:

Now when am I gonna get to see that new jacket????

Don't worry about matching or not matching. You found a jacket you like and you wear it, that is the important thing.

Yeah!!! Another Ohioan to go riding with.
