JT was definitely the sh1t! Seems the French had a sweet spot for JT. These pics are off off of a French MoTo site.


Oh Yeah!!!!






Not sure I'd go with the pink, but I did have the red, white & blue Honda H jersey 2nd from left...



Something like this:



Spot the Hottie...



Why is this guy holding a giant turd?



Is the "O Show" go'n race'n or farm'n?



Come on admit it! You had set of these. Mine were blue...



and of course the matching chest protector...



Maybe Lil Hanny could use these...



Holy sh1t! Some of these French dudes are a little freaky with thier collections...



Anyways, you get the idea. Check it out. 46 pages of some really cool stuff.

I wish I still had all my old JT stuff, the only thing I have left is my V-2000 chest protector and a cotton jersey from 80'. I need to go through my parents attic, to see if there's anything left that mom didn't throw away.

Someone (maybe you) mentioned that recently. It's not too far fetched, JT is still in business making paintball accessories.

We used to buy JT stuff directly out of the box van at the swap meet in El Cajon in the early to mid 80s.

My favorites were a pair of pants that had "Good Guys" on the back of them. Wish I still had them. We used to buy gear worn by all these guys by the stack for $10. Be worth a fortune now.

There's a picture of Palm Ave. in there.

it won't be under the same company that makes the paintball gear ....a separate company entirely for moto by a different owner.

I still have my '79 JT Yamaha pants and jersey, Kawasaki jersey from '83. I even had a pair of those JT Champion boots in '77. Great pair of boots.

Yup, why cant someone still make gear that looks as simple and clean, yet so completely PRO, as that old Bailey, Glover and Lechien gear? I know I would buy it in a second. So much of that new stuff out there is WAYYYY over the top. Too me it makes a mockery of the professionalism and dedication required by the riders. No? Has anyone seen that skeleton/x-ray gear thats out now?

I had all types of JT gear in the 80's. I still have my blue ALS 2 helmet with the bad bones on the top. I loved that gear.

I wish I had kept all of my gear. I had probably every thing JT and AXO made but just threw it all out over the years...makes me sick. I had at least 3 JT helmets all gone.
