Ok, Apoc made me think of this in the harley thread about Harley posers, but how do you or would you define a "sportbike poser"

Rider · 12-04-2009, 05:14 PM

People who attend bike nights.
People who wear their leather jacket when they are not riding.
People who spend more time cleaning their bike than riding.
People who buy liter bikes as their first ride.
People who wear Icon gear.
People who watch AND enjoy Superbikes.

Well, okay, "enjoy" may be an overstatement... but I've watched it a time or three.

To Icons credit, their gear has been getting safer from what I've seen.

I've got a 4 year old Icon jacket, its verystrong and held up great. No complaints whatsoever.

But at the same time, when I bought my CBR1kRR, they gave me a free Icon helmet, and I absolutely hated it. Never had such an uncomfortable helmet on my head, ever! Shoei FTW!!

I don't wear it anymore, I just love the design. In terms of comfort & safety, I love my Arai. Newer Icon lids seem to have come a long way though.

Damn, I'm a poser. It actually use to be my winter jacket. It was much much warmer than anything else I had and got it for a good price. It does look very poserish though.

I notice this too, Icon stuff is thick and heavy.

My problem with it is, even if I wanted a jacket with sponsor patches, why would I want a Parts Unlimited patch?

LOL, I didn't know better. I bought my first bike in october and it was a nice thick jacket. My bro who was the only biker I knew at the time was definitely a poser sportbiker, so he was my only influence. I got that dumb looking jacket thinking it would make me look cool and keep me warm.

I have the blue one.
