NC Dealer doesn't think gear is necessary

My favorite is still the '05 Repsol. Only $16,500!

ha ahahahahha, that's hilarious, nice sandals. I think the repsol they are selling is the same from the homepage.

I dont think its as uncommon as you may think...i know a local place here in town and while they sell gear, Ive never heard or seen them promote it in the least and most of their employees go gearless...

yeah the 16.5 repsol is funny... guess that chrome is expensive. especially since they have a regular 1krr thats a year newer for half the price...

he and i argued back and forth through email yesterday before i eventually gave up... be basically said that he prays and Jesus is is savior so he doesnt need gear since he's prepared to move on...

Maybe he's been touched by the graces of God too.

The graces of God don't help when the nurses have to scrub the asphalt out of your wounds.

I'm all for everyone wearing what they feel is appropriate gear. Sometimes I squid it, so I don't preach.

However, I think it is a poor business decision to advertise yourself as a reckless fool with bad form.

That's true. The graces and I are usually hanging out in a bar laughing while that's going on, (they can be super bitchy when they've had a few).

Having had the "pleasure" of holding someone's hand while the asphalt was being scrubbed out of their wounds, sans any pain medication, and then getting to care for their wounds which got infected anyway, I'm pretty sure God and her grace have little or nothing to do with the bad choices we make.

Same here. The local Zuk stealership doesn't offer much in the way of protection aside from helmets. And they're always pushing to sell the bigger bikes, especially to those who've never ridden. Bah.

Even the local HD store...which doesn't sell Buell BTW...

doesn't offer anymore in their store than a few helmets and some HD gear like leather jackets and boots.

And their employees? Gearless....
