Title: Just Pulled the Trigger on Some Motoport Gear
Post by: seagiant on December 09, 2013, 02:26:59 PM

Hi,
      Being 6'8" tall and 275 lbs. I have trouble buying regular clothes off the rack. When I tried to find something for riding it turned into a nightmare trying to get something of good quality and at a good price. There is also the "penny wise,pound foolish" slippery slope to look out for! After chasing my tail round and round looking for a 4 season type setup suitable for Florida I went with Motoport!

  Although pricey,I figured to buy once and cry once,get it over with. How much is your hide worth it's up to you I guess. I sold some other toys to ease the pain and went for it. We will see in a couple of weeks I guess! Anyone using Motoport wear here???

Well worth every penny...  8)

I have the Kevlar Mesh II... it's going on 8 years now... wearing anything less, just feels naked.  ;D

Hi,
      Thanks fellas! I've been trying to push myself while riding the C14,learning to lean it better and decided I wanted something a little better than a leather jacket and blue jeans! Talked to the owner of Motoport and he was very confident in his mind that he made the best riding gear at ANY price! After a lot of research before I called to order, figured he might be right!

  Hi Steve, I looked at KLIM but they make pants in tall but no jackets in tall sizing????? Who would of thunk it?

Wayne is a great guy to work with... stands behind his product.  :)

This is August 2006, a few months after I bought my jacket... on the way to CO from TX.
