[CDA_RMK]

Sled, ATV, PWC, Ski, Scuba, Hunt (snow camo,turkey camo, Mulie camo, warm elk gear), fly fish, trap shoot, rain gear, and carhart type full work wear.

I've lost nearly 100 pounds since Aug. 20 (bypass surgery). I am really feeling the $pain$ of going from 5X to 2X with still 60 or more to loose.

Any of you fatty's need some nice gear? LOL. EW

[rockdog2112]

I've never added it up, but I keep telling the wife that when I die, the next husband does not get to play with my sh!t.

Damn straight. Bury me with it. Let that F***er buy his own! That includes my sleds. I'm damn sure worth a lot more sitting on my sled than I am anywhere else. lol

 

[ouch]

ive learned not to add things like that up. I just say I've spent alot on gear... makes things easier for myself

You could always ask to be buried in it. Then you know it wont get handed down

 

[svensdream]

between fmx and sleds if I take some spare gear ( due to the fact I crash a bit offen and want dry/clean gear) it is mind blowing

2 shoei helmates (airbrushed) 1000...ea
2 jerseys 60 ea
1 tekvest 275
1 evs cest protector 90
2 mx pants 130 ea
3 pr.mx boots 350 ea
3 pr. sled boots 300,190,100
3 pr. gloves 40 ea
3 pr. googles 40 ea
1 coat 90
1 beacon 275

roughly comes out to $5000. The best money spent to date.... tekvest.
and the sad part is that most of us have not counted the gear that has been worn out, lost, didn't like or gave away.

 

[Ex-Member]

The best money spent to date.... tekvest.

gotta agree with you on that one. Knee protection too.

 

[MARV1]

Dunno, I'm usually the bargain shopper all the time and have bought new gear for less on ebay and on here.
Helmet--$55
eVent jackets--$150 for 2 brand new ones(one for me and significant other)
eVent gloves--$70 for 2 pair
Bibs--$200(2 different pair for different types of weather)
Cabela's thinsulate/Gore-tex jacket--$170
Rocky boots Gore-Tex of course--$130(work for hunting also)
Slednecks jacket--$210(gotta look different somedays ya know)
509 goggles--$145 for 2 pairs and extra lenses
plenty of misc. stuff, too much to add up. . .
Oh, and about another $500 for each of my 2 older boys! Yes it is expensive, but we get to use our gear all winter and ride everyday if we want(well we still do).

I second that, I forgot about the knee protaction. I learned that one the hard way.

 

[tudizzle]

I carry over $2000 in safety gear that I hope I never have to use not to mention all the other Klim gear and what not that I use on a regular basis!


How about a pair of $4000 custom knee braces with built in knee and shin protection...and the list goes on...and on...and on.

haha, yep.... Day after I bought my sled... first and last time I rode without something on my knees. Busted four of the cheap knee guards last season.

You know, I think it is once a weekend that I see you go over the handlebars At least it doesn't come from a lack of trying to go big.

No.
