oh and this Jacket

[jodymac]

Don't know much about 'em, but they sure look sweet.

Not sure about the shift M1, but i have the shift superstreet and i like it. Its got vents in the chest so its never that hot if youre moving. Its not the most comfortable with the hard armor, but i never really notice it once i'm sitting on the bike. I think you can get them for like $279 at brockton cycle.

[NinjaSwan]

never heard of em either... they do look pretty tight.

[OreoGitorio]

yeah, i think they just started getting carried more widely this year... haven't heard about em up until a few weeks ago.

I just googled em & couldn't find any company info... could be a side branch off of an existing company?

Dave, does your superstreet have any other brand logos on the tag? (BTW, are we gonna go riding together sometime er what?!?!?! )

[OreoGitorio]

nm, found their website http://www.shiftracing.com/

Looks like they're an indepenant company that started out in Off road gear & it seems like they just started making leathers this year.

dont they have to pass some kind of test? arnt all the jackets make from the same stuff with same stiching kinda the same?

[NinjaSwan]

yeah, all the jackets are inspected expect for the real cheap'o knock offs... er.. it's 5:09. the night has started and i'm still at work. blah.

[SmokennFasTT]

what you do for work? how are u on the comp at work?

[OreoGitorio]

Not all jackets are equal. If they were, they'd all be the same price & no one would buy 600 dollar Vanson's

That said, if they're new jackets, chances are that's their "market introductory" pricing.... and it's priced like a pretty high quality jacket.

I'd at least give it a look.

I sell computers for work..... I'm an account manager for PC Connection (http://www.pcconnection.com)

I'm a multitasker.

[SmokennFasTT]

my mom used to work there yearssss agao.

[NinjaSwan]

yeah its a job. I've been here for four years now so I have a built a decent book of business already.

Shift has been around for a while, but not for street stuff. It was actually started by Fox for "alternative" motocross gear or something like that. They've had street jackets for a couple years, they have a couple 1 piece suits too. No, its not vanson quality, but its leather, breaths good, has hard armor, a removable liner, and is under $300. Good enough for me.

And pete, ride yourself down here and i'll show you some fun roads, i've had enough of city riding for a while (just got back from providence). Or maybe i'll just stop being lazy and make it up there again sometime.

[OreoGitorio]

pfft, u think i do CITY RIDING???? funk no... i get the hell outta dodge when i go for a spin!

[ultraTwist]

I saw this at Brockon and thought it was awesome for the $$$.

Well I have a computer at work... in fact i'm on it right now.... BRILLIANT!!!

[NinjaSwan]

I even have a mouse!

[snowborder]

Thread bastardizers that seem to post knowing nothing about the question... Shift has been around for years and is HUGE in motorcross..

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THEN SHUT IT!

[OreoGitorio]

Hey snowboarder, eat my fat hog.

After my first post, I did my research and corrected myself saying they started out in MX and just started making leathers within the last year. Regardless of who's right or wrong, their leathers are new.... And considering their market introductory pricing, I'm guessing it's pretty good stuff.

If that post doesn't have MORE to do w/ the original question than yours, then i'll be damned cuz you're the god damn Pope.

[snowborder]

MY point exactly shut it rather than type 7300 posts into oblivion.... before you even know what your talking about.

Noted you edited your posts about 5 times in the last 5 minutes..

right into the ignore list you go.
