Ebbs. I just got some Teknic Chicane leather pants and they are freaking awesome. They fit my big ass great. I tried on some Dainese and they are obviously designed for skinny Italian butt. Not fat American ass like mine. Plus my legs are fairly stout from moving pool tables all day. I got them from Newenough for $150 with shipping. Here is a link for ya...

Okay. Back to the Drama....
George Bush hates Black People. Rant on now.

Yeah that's what Marko and CEO have been telling me... and almost got a pair of Chicane's when CEO posted the link you did a while back... but I held off... but I went ahead and got the ones Marko posted

I got them from newenough... but they don't have them up anymore... I got them for 179.

Damn. I wish the Sports where up when I tried to order them. I wanted the sports but for $150 more I didn't feel like paying for them. But either way they fit great.

You're right. Icon is so much more reputable than Teknic. Get the fuck out.

ahhh so was Teknic back in the day. There's actually been talk of Icon track gear but I wouldn't hold my breath. Heck not to jump ship but has anyone seen the new Scorpion gear. Pretty snazzy I must say! BTW alot of people don't think that any gear manufacturers make STREET gear except Icon.

EVERY thing that is Textile is STREET GEAR! 90% of what every major manufacture makes is street gear.

I like Scorpion's helmets... don't know about their gear... but marko's point is that VB is saying that Icon would be cheaper and fit better than Teknic... well 1. how... they don't even offer a similar product... they offer like what 1 set of leather pants? and 2. they're new... yes all companies were new at one time... but Teknic's got the track record for having good shit... same with A*'s... right now Icon can't fuck with that... there's a reason Icon's gear is cheaper... ithey're new and they're trying to get a solid customer base before they raise their prices (inevetably) and their gear wouldn't sell for shit next to Teknic or A* or even Joe Rocket if priced the same.
