What do you think your total investment is? If I had 8 of my helmets, 9 jackets, and 5 pairs of boots, those alone would be enough to buy a new bike.

Do you bargain shop and/or impulse buy things off the WERA boards or other classifieds? Or have you bought all these from retail shops/sites?

Mostly bargain shop. I got a Shark Helmet for $100 for example... Most of my jackets are Icon. For example,I have two Accelerant jackets,one perferated and one normal. I only paid $265 ea for them. I have the Icon Neo-Daytona Hero jacket in blue/gold and the 24k gold TiMax gloves I got for $250 for both. Plus I've been riding for going on 30 years and I rarely throw gear away...

If my husband and I were not both into riding and cars we may have a lot more. But with 3 cars, two bikes, and both of us having a track addiction we keep the gear to the a complete set each.

My husband wants to get a new helmet and a one piece suit...but we also just paid off the vette () and will be getting the Miata's suspension upgraded soon.

I don't have much.

5 helmets; 2 Shoei's, 1 Fulmer, my wife's AFX and an Xtrex offroad helmet.
1 jacket; Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0, red and black to match my bike.
Couple different pairs of gloves for different weather/rain.

I would like to have a good pair of riding boots, leathers and or a nice leather jacket. I have too much going out paying a mortage, vehicles, wheeling and kids to get much of what I want all at once.
