Me too, which is why I PMed him when I was ready to buy mine.

Dude I want the gun in your hand that looks like exactly what I need to put on gun rack in my truck....:dthumb: BTW good burn on nts about being badass enough to wear icon gear....:zowned::pat:

fucking sterling mk4 is the shit. i sriousluy miss that peice. see all the ak mags/./ ? i hd a never fired and onlty dropped onc3e norinco aK TOO fucker was gorgeous

scratching my head on this one.

Nah, not at all. Even though, for the most part, Icon isn't my taste, I DO make the argument that SOME gear is better than no gear at all (but I've never argued about sex with a dead hooker, so that's not a valid analogy :lol: ).

If someone's objection to wearing gear is the looks (it's too boring, it's not the right color, it doesn't have any 'flair,' or whatever the fuck) but they look at Icon, and feel it's more "them," then so be it. At least it's GEAR. And in the last few years, Icon HAS changed and gotten safer - they no longer rely on just the triple desity foam armour.. most pieces do have CE rated armour, and there's been rumor for a couple years that they're working on track leathers, too.

So it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it IS still better than no gear at all, IMO.

You said that people who wear icon aren't badass enough to justify the badass stylistic image that icon portrays. He posted picture of himself overseas in a warzone therefore burning your ass and relegating your previous steatement to retarded status.....:diitb:

Well... if it makes everyone feel better... I have a really small penis...

Seriously... I got nothin.

I never doubted his badassdom, and you cant really justify being in the military as being badass. its a career choice. he doesnt get to go around wearin camo and carrying rifles to shoot at people with when he comes back to civilian life. unless hes got some serious PTSD and needs to vent a little bit.

notice: i'm not calling anybody out in this thread, just FYI. I do think most of icon's shit has the "im too cool for school" mentality.

you ever see the pic of me doin a backflip across the courtyard of the eifle tower in a ural? thats a bad ass pic, but it doesnt make me a bad ass.

Yea,I agree that Icon has "hooligan/badboy" marketing stategy. Just like alot of the other gear makers pander to "older" riders,racer-boy wannabees, Harley "Hell's Angels" types,etc. I still don't understand the targeted hatred of this one particular brand. Everytime someone mentions Icon,some of you guys jump to put the brand down. I just don't get it. To start a thread downing a specific brand goes well beyond "it's not my style".

I think it was just a spoof on the "Icon FTW" thread. You say it like he just made this out of the blue. TEKNIC FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
