"Hey, in this clip we're going to talk about how to find discount motorcycle clothing. Alright, so as you can see, I've go a bunch of stuff here. Really what you're going to want to do is find, find something you like. Like if you're at a, if you're at a retail shop; take a look at this jacket, this is a Icon jacket. If you like this jacket and you want to get it cheap; don't buy it at the retail shop, it's going to cost ton of money. This is, I think about four hundred bucks; something like that, a new. If you want to get discount, what you can do is you can go online and look like a; go to the Icon website and you probably get some discounts there easily. Go on your local, like a, like Craigslist; check Craigslist out; you can check classified ads out. Some of the things you're going to want to make sure up when you buy motorcycle gear that's especially when it's used is that, if you're going to get a new jacket, you're going to want to make sure that the pads that you have on your shoulders and your elbows and it has like a back pad here; you're going to make sure that they're actually still in good condition. On some jackets you can pull, actually pull out the pad and make sure it's not cracked and messed up or anything like that. An example I have here is a helmet. If you're going to buy a used helmet and you see one of the scuff like this, chances are this person dropped the bike. They didn't know what they're doing and they dropped their bike. Now don't every buy a used helmet because; I mean you can buy one but if you see scuff mark like this, don't get it because it's probably dropped and what happens is the integrity of the helmet gets destroyed, the inside fiberglass or you know, whatever the, whatever the protection things in the helmet will probably fracture and in a wreck, if you wreck later, your head's going to be broken. So don't get a helmet that's ever been dropped. As far as helmets go, same, same deal; check out a retail shop, find one that fits you; go online check it out; go to, you know, maybe Play It Again Sports might have it or something like that; I've seen some stuff there. But you can check also some Thrift Stores, they'll have like helmets and gloves. Glove is another thing. These you can probably find, yard sale, Craigslist, whatever. You don't have to worry too much about the condition of the gloves as far as like; I mean compared to a helmet and like a, a jacket 'cause you got the protective zones on a jacket, but with the motorcycle gloves; if it looks good buy it; you know; two buck, three bucks, whatever. These ones I have have knuckle guard; so, you know, if you find something like this, there might be crack, but that's your choice. Anyway, that's how to get some discount motorcycle gear."
