Sinisalo/vintage mx gear

Canvas is probably your best bet

That was some great lookin gear back in the late 80's/early 90's.   I must say so myself.     Clean and simple.   

Moms got that "i'm about to start trouble" look going.    Gee, I wonder where I got that trait. 

Sweet iroc-z. 

Something like Wardy's stuff would be so dope to get made

Looks like your mom is about to spray you down while she eats an apple!

That was my baby.         It was a pile of GM junk though.      That car had so many mechanical failures within 50K miles.   Plus, there was no roof support, Camaros lacked full frames, they had sub-frames, so it would twist so bad going into driveways etc.        

But man, the young ladies loved it.  

Yup,  she's was a shit-disturber.     Inherited that trait from her.  

What we all really want to know...did you unhook the B.A.S.S. ? 

I had that bike. It spit me off unexpectedly a time or two before I had a Terrycable fork kit put in and a racetech revalve done. Man but was it a tractor on hardpack.

I always liked this stuff

My all time favorite kit!

I never have considered myself a fanboy...but I'll admit that I bought Sinisalo gear back in the day because Wardy looked so damn cool in it. The quality was also much better than a lot of the stuff today. 

I have bins of stuff I’ve been collecting over the years.  I’ve worked with 24co to reproduce a few of the jerseys 

Got bored during my last work call. Only about 80% close to the original but I would definitely wear this. 

I wore the Black and Silver in 1985 in honor of the Raiders lol. 

Whatever cool points you got from that gear , you lost from that front number plate. 

Props though , that was a cool set up. 

What's wrong the plate....standard OEM plate.  Or is it the number/stickers?   Those were required racing numbers/sticker for the organization I raced with:  "CRC" California Racing Club.   

Just like wpark89, I've also worked with "24co" to remake a handful of jerseys and they've always been easy to work with and the best part is they can add your name and number on the back of the jersey in an era correct font style, and it's all dye sublimated. Unfortunately "24co" doesn't make pants, but if you're okay with mix-matching brands, you could match your white/red Sinisalo replica jersey with a pair of white/red Hallman "slice" pants, or just run the entire Hallman gear set, as it's pretty damn similar to the Sinisalo set in your photos. Good luck!

sorry for crappy foto.

Once a year we make dual sport trip with my buddies to Northern Finland with adventure bikes and our regular pilgrimage is abandoned Sinisalo factory at town Puolanka where they used to handmade these high quality riding gear.

I have also good friend Risto, an older gray gentleman who was the Export manager at Sinisalo during 80-90s and he has a lots of interesting stories to tell. He used to travel 300 days per year all over the world and especially at US. He said that he made container-size orders with big retailers almost daily, as Sinisalo was very popular at the time..

I have some old Sinisalo gear from early 90´s and despite of the gear age and heavy use, they are still intact and could use them. I wish that they would still made some quality gear instead of the East-Asian shit we get nowadays.

When I’ve had any jerseys reproduced I’ve spent a lot of time getting them right.  Finding guys with an original and measuring logos and font sizes…making sure colors match.  Finding old catalogs and going through old MXA’s to find as many pictures and ads to get all the placement right.  
 

Sinisalo is the old old gear that fits well enough to still wear today…

getting heavy step-brothers vibes on this
