Should I get the black Sport Racing Boots (size 13 for $99) or the EVO Ti Racing (size 12.5 for $140)? BTW, I am normally a 12 or 13 in normal shoes.

Now how about the same kind of great deal on gloves?
I just bought a whole new gear setup since my wreck.





Suit = 500$ on ebay
Gloves = 50$ www.sportbiketrackgear.com
Boots = 187$ www.sportbiketrackgear.com
Visor for teh arai = George @ sky

SBTG has alot of good prices, if you call them on the phone they will give you an even better deal than there internet prices as well.

Got some clipons off them and a few other odds and ends for cheaper than there site was saying.

Check em out

get the EVO Ti.. you wont regret it.

Edit: I crashed in my pair of EVO Ti and my boot was under the bike as it lowsided, my ankle is perfectly fine, not even sore and damn did the boot take a beating. held up great.

I got the EVO Ti too... At that price, I couldn't pass them up either.

Damn, Tony... love the suit, very nice. What's with the red gloves? You directing air traffic at the airport gates?

Thanks, the new suit fits and feels way better than my last (has room in it for my back protector)... Im in my suit right now actually... LOL

I got the Race Replicas this time around (the inner lacing system on it is really badass, i can sprint around my yard in the boots and it doesnt feel like im wearing boots) Oxtars ftw!

They were outta black gloves since they were on blowout sale.. I grabbed the red ones since ill be painting my bike RED

Call George at Skypower sports... ask him to get you a pair of the Cortech Scarrab RR gloves... They are like $60-$75, I forget, but they are in league with gloves in the $150 range.


They have a new glove out I may be getting... the Cortech Adrenaline... looks badass. A bit more money $80-100.

The kevlar on my Scarab RR gloves held up good in my crash, most of it was torn up but it still stayed on.. These motogp nitrous gloves i got are pretty nice, they have 3x wrist straps to keep em on and are pretty adjustable with the velcro. Hopefully i wont have to crash test these ones soon.

Heres some reviews of the gear I have reccomended. My buddy Jami just recently drove to Sportbiketrackgears Shop in Michigan, he said all the guys are really cool and there warehouse is pretty badass. All of the guys race and do trackdays and they WILL NOT sell you anything that they dont use or have tried and approved of themselves.
