I was always a fan of the JT Racing gear back in the 80's! Seems like all the hot factory guys were signed to JT or Fox back in the day. Who wore your favorite JT gear?

Lechien?

David Bailey’s gear was always perfect.  The K-9 line was too gimicky for me.

I like the yellow classic Suzuki stuff because it's the same thing I wore in 1980 when I raced an RM80. It's perfect for this '82 RM125 restoration project I'm doing, if I can ever get back to it.

I think JT has to be the most iconic gear brand in the sport’s history.

Bailey  kit . 

Had all of it apart from the Helmet, which we couldnt get in the UK, paid £125 for the pants, in 1986, should have been £150 i think, and the same for the V2000( Bailey has the V1000) . At that time, my car cost £200.  Still have the pants and armour, and wore it at Farleigh a few weeks ago.

Had JT and Fox gloves and pants (aka leathers).  Thought the JT quality was just a couple notches better but happy to wear either.
