| Endorsed Joined: May 2009 From: Oregon City I Ride: Bitch | Where to get Women's Motorcycle Gear? So At some point here in the next two months, I need to get SOME of the following: *Pants *Leather Jacket *Motorcycle Gloves * Boots I have my helmet and my Joe Rocket Textile Jacket. My gloves are just Snowboarding gloves...but you would never know looking at them. NOW that I'm getting my OWN MOTORCYCLE ![]() I need to get some gear to kinda match. Robert's buying me Mandalynn's motorcycle( Head turning KZ 550 Limited (very low miles) ) Anyway- My jacket is Black with Green and white flowers on it (http://www.joerocket.com/catalog/ind...ker_2.0_Jacket), and my helmet is white. I need to know where a good place to get gear is....FOR A GIRL!!! Everywhere I go seems like they have little to NO selection! Is it THAT hard to find Cute/attractive gear for girls? Most places have the generic stuff that look like I should be riding a Harley. Where can a girl get good Gear?!?! (DISCLAIMER-I'M NOT TRYING TO SELL ANYTHING OR REPOST ANYTHING..my links are just to give people an idea of what I'm looking for....) Last edited by RushRider; 09-17-2009 at 02:18 AM.. |

Boots and stuff. http://www.cyclegear.com/city_location.cfm?Store=19 or ridewest http://www.ridewest.com/ and southsound BMW http://www.southsoundbmw.com/. Ducati Seattle has alittle bit of womens stuff. http://ducatiseattle.com/docs/home.php. Womens gear is a real pain in the ass to find. I'm buying my girl a new Rev'it coat from Ducati or ridewest. Ridewest has good womens gear on sale at up to 50 percent off right now. Don't skimp on a winter jacket or you'll freeze your little ass off. No fun !!! |

Go to Beaverton Honda Yamaha Suzuki They have tons of gear and lots of great people to help (make sure it fits right and all that good stuff) Then when you find exactly what you want...... Go online and find the best price. (because Beaverton is $$$$$) |

Bob's prices are a garentee 10% higher than retail (unless on sale) If it was Vicious Cycle (who i love and support) it would be a different story. You wouldnt happen to work for Bob would you? |

They have another site called jakewilson.com that looks like it is mostly street stuff. I know nothing about street gear but if you see something interesting I can get you a decent discount. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Sep 2009 From: lake stevens, wa I Ride: 04 yamaha r6 | you should also just look online at manufacturer's sites--that is the easiest--if you were in WA i'd tell you to check out cycle barn.. but sounds like that might be too far for you! goodluck! |

| Endorsed Joined: Sep 2008 From: Hillsboro I Ride: '07 SV650n | My girlfriend just did the online shopping guess fit based on reivews, then order and return for better size. Took her a few tries to find gear that fit well (they're all different, and small from one manufacturer is medium for another, and even within their own product lines it can change). She tried newenough.com, and they have great service, but are slow compared to Motorcycle Superstore, which I believe ships out of Roseburg (she got stuff in 1-2 days, and they're just as easy as newenough with returns): http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/ |

| Moderator ![]() Joined: Aug 2007 From: Portland, OR I Ride: Monster 750 | Yes, it's hard to find women's gear, especially good looking, with protection and warm or waterproof. I get almost all of my gear from Motorcycle Superstore. Big selection but trial and error on sizes. |

| Pit Crew Joined: Sep 2009 From: Portland, OR I Ride: 1994 Honda VFR750F, 1966 CL160, XR250 | Yeah motorcycle superstore is a great place. They will have grea sales. Also their shipping is fast due to the fact they are located in Medford, OR. I get my tires through them. |

| Endorsed Joined: May 2009 From: Forest Grove I Ride: to stay alive!!! on my SV650 | Yeh- It's REALLY hard to find gear built for built women! ![]() I recently found a website: Bohn-Armor-Pants.com. & ordered a pair of their Adventure pants. They have great removable armor and can be worn under anything you want to wear over them! So, you get to wear your skinny jeans or leathers, whatever ! They also make an armor shirt- same deal. You can get the basic garment in lycra or mesh for warm temps. Check it out! I found the pants really comfy. I think I'll get the shirt, even though I already have a few jackets. I think it would be great for summer & added protection under my jackets. ![]() btw- it's really cool you got your own bike! I did that a couple of seasons ago....best thing I've done for myself! Have fun & be safe! Last edited by ccrider; 09-17-2009 at 09:30 PM.. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Sep 2009 From: lake stevens, wa I Ride: 04 yamaha r6 | ![]() sorry for the multiple postings.. i just re-read your post--bremerton--cycle barn may be too far north for you--you should try RMC - renton motorcycles. they have tons of gear, and a pretty cool bar/restaurant upstairs |

| Endorsed Joined: Aug 2008 From: PDX OR I Ride: 74 cb750 K4 | 1) Cograts on the bike- 2) I get all my gear from Doc Browns- he isnt restocking his gear much these days and he sells stuff at a discount. You may not find what you need there, but if you do it will be at a great price. Plus Docs is a true Portland Exp. I am gonna miss him when he retires. And he stands behind his stuff. When the zipper blew out on my jacket he sent me to Miriam and paid the bill. |

(And Aperilla works with Doc)Ash.. when are you getting the bike?? If you want a girl to ride with, I'm all yours. Its TOTALLY different A)learning from a female if you are one vs a male and B) Learning from somebody who you are not in a relationship with. (I say that just because I assume Robert will teach you) Once you start getting slightly comfortable with shifitng and stuff, lets go out. Im excited for you! oh yeah- and i end up ordering most of my gear online. www.her-motorcycle.com has good tips for how to find good gear for women. | |

| Newbie Joined: Jul 2009 From: Pdx I Ride: Lil street fighter! | I'm a HUGE fan of motorcyclesuperstore.com They have a pretty killer clearance section and they will let you return almost anything - even sale items, no joke. I got a hot pair of ICON brand riding jeans (kevlar enforced knees and hips) for $8. Shipping is reasonable, too. PLUS, they're located in Medford - support your OR economy!! Or, shoooot, let's just take a ride down there and go shopping once you've got the bike! : ) |
