Ok, i been looking at some equipment but God damn - prices are crazy, i was thinking about leather corona jacket but $500 and it's almost summer (kind-of trying to get my equipment to match soon and have protection for what skin i have left).. But the question is does anyone got a good sites that are wholesales or maybe group buys? i was lookin on ebay, but cant find the ones i like..

and can someone recommend me some nice golves?

i get all my stuff off ebay. just keep looking a be patient. if you cant wait denniskirk.com is good. as far as gloves go i wear a love the dainese hellracer glove. it cost me about $140 at a local store. but worth every penny. and as far as the corona jacket goes, corona is a suzuki sponser, but it looks good though.

have you tried www.newenough.com? they generally have fairly low prices on a lot of good gear

i just checked the newenough.com prices on the joe rocket corona replica jackets and theyre $425. Not exactly the ones you posted a pic of, but pretty sweet i think:

That yellow one might match your bike better

well i dont know how warm leather is, never wore one.. Idaho usually get 80-90's in the summer (Cour D alene), which is nothing to me - i wear pants year round, and then im thinking im going to take the crotch-rocket back to Vegas for the winter so low 40-50's.. i got a mesh jacket but it's mismatched (going to sell it when i get up to Idaho),

plus the blue on the leather puts it off a bit.. i would go for the grey more, or if i was going that then - would just get the gsx-r leathers (i was thinking gsx-r grey leathers, and then the corona black textile)

golves, i'm still not aware of.. i used to use my work-out golves (bad idea, when i wrecked the tops of my fingers have scars)

then i'm just going to wear jeans, even tho i dispies them - they are tougher then cargo pants..
