You know those trango tents were designed for alpine mountaineering? I've got one and can't imagine camping in it in temps above 40 degrees. It would be like a sauna.

Woodbead seat cover from Walmart--made a 2012 Weestrom seat into something useable--and only cost $ 9.00

I have a Joe Rocket Ballistic series jacket that I got on clearance back in 2001 for $120. Many, many thousands of miles later it still rocks. I finally busted one of the armpit vent zippers, so I oughta have that fixed. Otherwise it's been the best piece gear in my closet.

Sidi Gor Tex Adventure boots, all day comfort and great protection followed closely by the leather man multi tool, has helped me constantly both supplied by my completely supportive wife (think she just likes me out of the house )

I'm impressed with how a $9 pair of new grips revolutionized the feel of my "worn" bike!

Agv GP Tech Five Continents helmet. $429 on sale
Agv K3 $250 helmet

Rev'It Tarnac leather jacket $499 on sale
Furygan Vertigo textile jacket $500
Icon Waterproof Reign boots $150

Best?
How about "best" value I could afford from the get go!

[1poser]

My ultimate best equipment ever bought...



obviously hands down

Then there's all the other stuff that'll enhance the ultimate purchase that's too much to show, but here's what come's to mind right away;


cheapest throttle lock $19.99 and it works!


HID headlight bulb and Clearwater LED lower lamps BEST investment-you gotta see and be seen


Leo Vince muffler to increase performance





Rev Pack does the trick for weekend camping trips, but I'll be getting side panniers for longer adventures

that's it for now

I have had one of these for AT&T least is 15 years and I still thinks its awesome.

I was going to replace a set of old and dull Chicago Cutlery knives, but thought I'd tried this first. The knives are like new.

Note that it takes a little while to sharpen each knife.
