i do tend to agree that that gixxer 600 is the bike i see most squids on...


i know its a stereotype but if it fits 80% of the time. i tend to just go with it..

Squid = Squirrely Kid

Retard with a bike that cares more about impressing people than riding...

White Leather Icon Timax Shorties. (They don't have all of the long armored plates up your forearm, just titanium for your knuckles and palms.)

i just picked up an older joe rocket speedmaster, it is hot as balls but thick and very protective. I would never use it in the summer, i have the mesh joe for that, (but the armor in that one is only foam so, it looks like its good for just about 10 feet

sorry to go totally off topic but does anyone know a good place that would clean the entire jacket, a small portion of the leather on the inner side of the jacket is bling, but the outside seems to have a darker shade from the dirt, is that basicly permanent or can it be cleaned up to look like new (bright yellow). I tried using some wilsons leather cleaner but it didn't really do anything.

That has to be the dumbest thing i have ever heard. Just to let you know icon happens to be one of the best leather companies for perpitration. Not only do they breathe better but they also tend to last longer.
