I sold my motorcycle shiznat after I left Canada now I have been riding with the bare minimums and my Heavy leather jacket is fuxored I need to replace the zipper no longer zips properly.

I recently replaced my gloves with a pair of Yellow Corn ones.. They are very nice I love em. Since I was in the market for a new jacket I am thinking of geting a Yellow Corn mesh jacket for the summer.

Any good etailers of motorcycle gear in Korea?

ANy other suggestion for Jacket alternatives? (Must be armored)

I am committed to a certain shop in Toegyero 5ga (the motorcycle area between Chungmuro and Dongdaemun Stadium stations), but there are lots of choices there.

My shop has an English-speaking sexy, nice girl working on most weekends or in the evenings. Even without her, you can go in an see their gear. I have found some good, discounted deals in there.

To get there, go to Toegyero 5ga and find the Arai helmet shop. Look to the left of the Arai shop. The accessory store has a red sign and currently has a small rack of gloves and facemasks on the sidewalk out front. When you walk in, there are stairs immediately on your right. The jackets are up there.

You can order things on GMarket and bikemart.co.kr, too, but I'm always afraid of ordering clothing unless I know the exact brand and size is what I want.

Good call...I'm out hunting for decent saddlebags and prefer to buy a set here rather than from overseas. Can I assume that I can find some in the same area, Bibbitybop? I'm not have'n much luck looking online...

I've seen the Marlon Brando style jacket he wore in Wild Ones in Iteawon.
You would get a better price on it in Dondemoon.

I was riding in heavy leather with no armor, but it gets really hot in it.. I want something lite but armored. I will stop by my local shop today.

Well I am a insta gratification *beep*.. I just picked up a jacket retailed for 300k and because I buy stuff there all the time so they gave me 40k off. I am happy its a great jacket, has some Engrish on it but its made in Japan and the quality is superb.
