Just joined! Looking for some gear advice and sharing the stoke - iclyamused - 02-24-2026 Hi everyone, I’ve finally decided to join the Motobuys community after spending months reading through your threads for advice. It’s rare to find a forum with this much solid info and such a dedicated group of riders, so I’m glad to be here! For me, riding is the perfect escape, but as I’ve started putting on more miles, I’ve realized that my current gear isn’t quite keeping up with my ambitions. I’m a firm believer in the "All The Gear, All The Time" (ATGATT) philosophy, though my wallet doesn't always agree. A quick intro on my riding life: The Bike: I’m currently cruising on a Suzuki SV650. It’s been a reliable partner for both lane-splitting and those long Sunday morning rides. The Journey: I’ve been on two wheels for roughly 6 years. I’ve had my fair share of "learning moments" (read: drops in the driveway), and I’m always looking to sharpen my skills. Current Quest: I’m in the market for a new all-season geometry dash meltdown mesh jacket. Something that breathes well in the summer but can handle a surprise rain shower. If you have any favorites that have survived a slide or just years of abuse, please let me know! I’m looking forward to getting involved in the discussions and learning from all of you. Thanks for having me! Keep the rubber side down, iclyamused
