Why Stylish Waxed Jackets Are a Must for Every Biker

For bikers, stylish waxed jackets are more than just attire; they’re a staple in both style and functionality. From enhancing your look to providing lasting protection, waxed jackets remain essential for every biker. Let's uncover what makes these jackets a must-have for your collection.

Stylish waxed jackets are timeless symbols of individuality. Its rugged charm and versatile nature have made them a staple in fashion industry and generations. Are you considering adding a stylish yet safe biker jacket to your wardrobe?  When investing in a biker jacket, it's crucial to ensure it's well-made and fits properly. But do the same fitting rules apply to waxed cotton jackets as they do to other types of jackets or outerwear?

Identify your style:

Before exploring the variety of biker jackets, it's important to identify your style. Do you lean towards classic leather designs, or are you more inclined to modern interpretations? Knowing your aesthetic preferences will help you narrow down your choices and ensure you pick a jacket that matches your style. If you commute on your motorcycle, a stylish waxed jacket will probably be the right choice for you.

Understanding biker jacket styles:

Before diving into the fit, it's essential to familiarize yourself with different biker jacket styles. Stylish waxed jackets come in various designs, such as the traditional double rider jacket, the racer jacket, and the café racer jacket. Each style has distinct features and origins, so exploring these options will help you find a style that resonates with you.

How should a leather jacket fit?

Waxed cotton might stretch over time! But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! So you want to start with a waxed cotton jacket that is standard in size.  The right fit is crucial for comfort and style. It’s also important to allow room for layers under your waxed jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a waxed jacket that fits just right:

Shoulders: unlike suit coats, waxed jackets can extend a few inches down your arm. The jacket could be too small if the shoulder seam sits above your shoulder.

Chest: waxed cotton jackets should fit more comfortably in the chest compared to regular overcoats. Consider the inner wear and ensure you can comfortably zip or button the jacket!

Hem length: the bottom of your waxed cotton jacket should not fall below your belt or the top of your thigh. This is typically shorter than other overcoats!  Remember that waxed cotton jacket that hangs well below the belt is too large.

Sleeve length: the sleeves of a waxed cotton jacket should end at your wrist. Sleeves that extend past your wrist make it look like you're wearing it by borrowing from someone larger.

Check the material:

Choosing waxed cotton surely suits your lifestyle. It can be perfect when it comes to maintenance and aesthetic tastes. They are tear-resistant and very durable and they age stunningly with aesthetically pleasing creases and colour permutations. They are perfect for outdoor clothing and gear, such as bikers jackets. One of the big draws for waxed cotton is that it is a product for life.  If you take care of your waxed cotton garments properly, they will last for years and years. They’re made to timeless styles that never go out of style.

Color palette:

The waxed cotton biker jackets usually come in timeless colours like black and brown. Black jackets exude edginess and versatility, while brown jackets offer a more casual and rugged vibe. Select a colour that accompanies your wardrobe and personal style.

Hardware and detailing:

Consider the hardware details such as zippers, snaps, and buckles. Silver hardware adds a modern edge, while brass hardware gives a vintage touch. The level of detailing can also influence the jacket's overall look, so think about how much embellishment you prefer.

When choosing a waxed jacket, you’re investing in more than just style; you’re investing in a piece of biker culture. For stylish waxed jackets that deliver on both durability and aesthetics, explore Speedwear Ltd high-quality collection today.

[evilgwrl]

okay ngl, this is an ask I'm sending to multiple people because holy shit why did it pop in my head I need to see this written T^T

reader is part of !141 and is the only one who knows how to ride a motorbike, so she has to go undercover for a biker gang?? idk but just hear me out. Anyway she has no tattoos or piercings so they get her those temporary tattoos that last two weeks and some fake piercings (or real ones in case they fall off) and so none of the 141 know she's having this whole makeover, and when they get the big reveal I just want to know their reactions- I'm sorry I suck at writing, I'm just good at coming up with the ideas lmao. reading back my whole paragraph I realised how much I truly suck at typing, I apologise that you had to deal with this.

Ahhhh!!! I love this. I hope I did your idea justice and you enjoy it anon 🥹 If you want something a lil more racy let me know but I kept it SFW just incase

CW: None

Your body felt exhausted, thighs moulded to the chair as manicured hands rushed around your frame, prodding at your skin with brushes and wet rags, stamping your flesh with intricate designs. The woman’s voice was soft as she took in your expression, an understanding smile adorning her features as she assured you, they were nearly done.

“Voila,” she gasped, moving away from you as you stared at the mirror in front of you. Temporary tattoos snaked around the coil of your arms, muscles stamped with infamous gang signs and your nose and eyebrows dangling with metal jewellery as your fingers prodded at them, your face creased with slight discomfort.

“We’re going to need to get you dressed but you already look the part!”

You winced at the excitement in her voice, a slight simmer of humiliation broiling through you as you took in the look. You looked so… different. “Thank you,” you murmured, turning around to take in the large snake design that was entwined between your spine.

You felt like you were entering a pageant, constant hands smoothing out your skin and hair as you coughed at the lethal amount of hairspray. Grease dribbled down your chin as you choked down some food, disgusted huffs passing through the lady’s mouth as she ushered something about acting the part too.

“You’re all done, sergeant.”

You paced the room anxiously, wire taped to your chest, nestled in between your cleavage as you awaited the remainder of the task force. It was strange, the most they had ever seen you in was a pair of jeans and a simple top beside your military gear, the barracks were no place for fashion. Sweaty hands rubbed at the leather pants; slick stains of residue quickly brushed away nervously as you prodded with the facial piercings in the mirror.

“Hells feckin’ bells, Bonnie,” a swift voice whistled, Soap’s face charmed with a boyish grin, blue eyes sweeping across your exposed skin, “ain’ you a sight for sore eyes?”

“I look ridiculous,” you blurted, folding your arms self-consciously as the Scotsman tsked his tongue, smacking his lips together.

“Ye’ look good… lil too good for the task force, hen. Might need to find ye a new profession after this.”

You rolled his eyes at his playful tone, his lashes flickering as he took in the sight of you. A flirtatious whistle cut through the air as Gaz slapped his hand against the door, mouth wide. “Sergeant Y/N, that you under all those tattoos?” You bit back a bark as he smiled at you, tongue darting out to lick his chapped lips.

“You look good, [callsign]. Them bikers might wanna keep you to themselves.”

“We ain’ gonna let that happen, lass,” Soap jabbered, “Yer’ our girl, ain’ ya?”

Your reply was cut short by a pound against the door as a gruff voice snapped, “Oi, let’s move it. Don’t got all bloody day, Sergeants.”

Ghost’s eyes lingered over you for a moment, blonde lashes flicking up and down your body, pausing on every tattoo almost as if he was memorising them before he turned around, cold physique dusting through the hallway as you all followed. Captain Price was rambling through his headset to Laswell before he paused, dismissing himself as you all waltzed towards him.

A large Yamaha was sleeked against the exit, the tyres slightly worn to feign usage as you whistled lowly. “Got this all for me, Cap?” Your tone was sharp, admiring the ride before you as a tattooed hand wrapped around the leather handles.

“A biker looking like you ain’ gonna ride a shitbox,” he said, his voice holding an underlying meaning as he did a once over, “Y’ get in trouble in there and you call us in immediately, you understand [callsign]?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Take care of those tattoos after this as well, suit ya.”

A warm blush settled on the apple of your cheeks before you reached for the helmet, flattening your hair down as you secured it in place.

“Let’s get us a win.”

Clover Rants Miraculously: Thee Other 1%

I think this has been complained about before, but it honestly does kind of come off super extremely tonedeaf when the show starts moralizing about rich people being "evil" and how success corrupts people (especially egregious in season 5) when their main soapboxers for this argument to represent the "poor 99%" are...

Girl who's parents own the most popular and profitable bakery in the city (that's constantly getting commissioned for catering jobs by the wealthy and famous of the city), has a world-famous chef for an uncle, who's grandmother has enough cash to fund trips around the world and expensive gifts for her (no shade to Gina, biker GILF is valid and can do whatever she likes with her ex-husband's alimony checks), and is favored by famous rockstar + 2 world renowned fashion icons (one of whom was willing to fund a trip for her to New York for an apprenticeship). Like Maribug, I love you, but seriously...

Boy who's a world famous fashion model, who's father owns a (self-made) fashion empire that spans the globe, who's mother was a (claimed-to-be but the show refused to expand on this) famous actress and former noblewoman from the British aristocracy, and spent his childhood being taught by (very likely expensive) tutors paid for by his parents

Girl who's mother is the head chef for a extremely popular and long-running hotel-line (Alya sweetie I love you too, but...)

Set of twins who's mother is a former rockstar who may or may not still get royalty checks from her old producer (and maybe child support from her own ex(no shade to Anarka either you get that bag girl!))

Boy who's late father was a weapon's manufacturer (and a rather lucrative one at that) and noblewoman mother is the heir apparent to their household (mostly due to her twin being disappeared and then dead)

Girl who's mother is the owner of a huge tech conglomerate on par with Apple

Girl who is the affair child between the previously mentioned fashion icon and an never-seen business man, who spent a majority of her childhood at a (implied to be) super expensive bordering school

Corrupt (now former) mayor who has changed gears to corrupt movie director and still owns his expensive and profitable hotel chain

Classmates of the first mentioned girl who's parents include a famous mime actor, director of the Louve, and an astronaut (we're never shown/told what everyone else's parents do but I'm certain they're on similar paygrade levels)

A man who's screentime involves emotionally abusing his son, mistreating magical animals in his care, and humiliating children and his own adult friends for his own ends

Like, if it was an argument about "class solidarity doesn't exist between the elites because they constantly change/raise standards even among themselves", they might of had a point to make, but it's always just "Rich people are all inhuman monsters (except the ones that give us stuff, you guys are cool)"

[attollogame]

hi! i went to look for physical descriptions of the ROs but the link isn’t working. is there an alternative link?

No but I can help you here!

Pariah

Pariah is 5’5” with an athletic build to their body, mostly honed from all of the physical exertion their night job requires. Most often they wear riding gear (leather jacket, cargo pants, biker boots; basically attire appropriate for someone who rides high-speeds on a motorcycle) with a black motorcycle helmet that has red lights within it. The helmet is modified to allow Pariah to discern things at night, and also to withstand Pariah’s own powered abilities. Pariah also carries two sickles strapped at their waist. Their powered ability is shadow manipulation.

Without the helmet, they have short cut curly brown hair, tanned skin, brown eyes, and a scar on their chin. Here’s an excellent visual of them drawn by the talented @phanosis !

Vasilisa

Vasilisa stands at about 5’11” with another athletic build to her body, again honed by her career as a detective for the C.A.P.D. She usually wears a white dress shirt rolled up at the sleeves, black jeans, timberland boots (closest I can describe them) and on occasion will have a black blazer on. Very often seen with a coffee in hand because her sleep schedule is as atrocious as anyone’s in Attollo. Her powered ability is emotion manipulation. 

Vasilisa has blonde hair she keeps tied back, pale skin, and blue eyes. She has a beauty spot under her one eye. Here’s an excellent visual of her drawn by the talented @exotic-inquiry !

Suha

Suha stands at 5’8” with a softer build. Her employment as a judge for the Crowes Court and her role in her own fashion business often keeps her quite preoccupied and on the go. Suha is a Muslim, and therefore wears a hijab. Her role in fashion means she dresses incredibly well, often preferring higher-brand clothes lines that are both comfortable and befitting of her personality. She prefers lighter colored clothes, as it contrasts the gloom of Attollo, even though her personality itself is quite serious. Suha’s powered ability is botakinesis, or plant manipulation. 

Suha wears cat-eyed glasses and has dark skin and brown eyes. Here’s a stunning drawing of her done by the talented @artsyaprilmr !

Operator

Operator stands at 5’7” and has a very lean build coming from his amazing ability to forget to eat half the time. He’s rarely seen without his black face mask and blue tech glasses, which enable him to see the ongoing of the city even when mobile. He usually wears a black turtleneck and black jeans, as well as sneakers that should really be changed in at some point. He does wear gloves as well when outside of his dwelling in the Under City. Operator’s powered ability is tech manipulation… among other things.

He has auburn curly hair and blue eyes beneath the glasses, as well as pale skin. @exotic-inquiry also did some lovely art of him (he is a little guy) !

Sysba

Because Sysba is gender selectable, their appearance does tend to change depending on which you select, although not by much. Overall, though, Sysba is a very flamboyant being that dresses in a way they feel expresses themself best. They stand at 6’ all forms, with a toned form they somehow managed to retain despite their disastrous eating habits. They prefer colours like red, black, or white for what they wear, and they prefer fabrics like satin, velvet, or silk. Sysba often wears heels for the benefit of standing an extra few inches above everyone else. They also indulge with a lot of jewellery, including necklaces, earrings, nose rings, etc. Because they are an entity, their powers extend far beyond what most do; shape shifting, manipulation, and power absorption are a few of their abilities. If they could get out of Attollo, they would be travelling quite swiftly too. 

In all forms, their hair is black, their eyes are black, and their skin is a very sickly pale color. In male form, Sysba has short cut hair, in female form it comes in the form of a bob cut, and in the non binary form it’s short cut as well. The very talented @retconomics has art of them here, @phanosis was generous enough to draw them in their more ‘natural’ form, and @redjack even kindly made a 3d model!

DW

Standing at 6’4” with a more built tone, one could say, due to his line of work (you don’t run a criminal organization without some intimidation on the side). Dreamwalker dresses very business-like in all aspects of his arrival, including in the dreams (although he did play dress up for those because it was fun for him). He prefers dark dress shirts, dress pants, and well-polished dress shoes. He wears a signet ring on his right hand. His powered ability includes dream manipulation and an ability to directly harm a sleeping individual through their dream, as seen with MC. He usually warps his features in dreams to make him indiscernible. On occasion, he wears a red scarf when not wearing a high collared shirt. 

Dreamwalker has dark brown, almost black hair with a slight curl to it. His eyes are a glowing gold with no discernible pupil unless you’re very close, in which case you will see it as a darker yellow color. He has a notable scar on his neck from a knife wound, and dark skin. The talented @bleruh drew art of him here (check out their operator as well!), as did @retconomics here and @/kill-a13 here among many others :)

Choosing the Right Waxed Jackets for Bikers: Classic Biker Jackets Guide

Waxed jackets for bikers are a smart choice for anyone looking to combine road-ready resilience with a touch of timeless style. The classic biker jacket design, enhanced with durable materials, provides both comfort and protection on your rides. Here’s a guide to choosing a waxed jacket that matches your style and safety needs.

Premium Materials

High-quality waxed jackets for bikers are crafted from densely woven cotton or canvas. The wax treatment adds water resistance, enabling the jacket to endure the rigors of wind, rain, and road debris.

Seek tightly woven fabrics with durable stitching, especially around the shoulders and elbows. A robust inner lining can further enhance longevity and comfort, making these jackets suitable even for rough terrains and extended use.

Weather Resistance

A hallmark of waxed jackets is their reliable water resistance. This protective layer shields you from unexpected rain, offering comfort without stifling heat. While not entirely waterproof, these jackets provide solid moisture resistance.

For long-lasting protection, ensure the jacket is easy to re-wax, which maintains its ability to repel water over time. Regular reconditioning also preserves the jacket’s classic finish, extending its life and usability.

Classic Biker Aesthetic

Waxed jackets for bikers are as iconic as they are functional. The classic biker jacket design features high collars, adjustable waist straps, and reinforced panels that give it an edgy, timeless appeal.

Many jackets incorporate refined details like epaulettes, metal buttons, and thick zippers, completing the look. A tailored fit ensures both style and movement, allowing the rider comfort without excess bulk—a crucial aspect for motorcycling.

Built-In Protection

Safety remains paramount in any biker gear. Choose a waxed jacket with reinforced panels in impact zones—elbows, shoulders, and back—for additional security.

Opt for jackets designed with pockets for armor inserts, which discreetly add a layer of protection without compromising style. High-end models often come with integrated armor, combining safety with a sleek look.

Practical Storage

Ample storage is essential for any biker jacket. Look for models with deep, secure pockets—ideally zippered or with waterproof closures—to store items like your phone, wallet, and keys.

Waxed jackets often feature both internal and external pockets, providing versatile options that are especially helpful for long rides where accessibility is key.

Ventilation and Comfort

Waxed jackets, while ideal for cooler weather, may feel warm during intense summer rides. Look for jackets with ventilation features like underarm vents or breathable linings.

These adjustments can improve airflow, allowing you to ride comfortably across diverse climates. Soft collar linings and adjustable cuffs add to the jacket’s overall comfort, enhancing the riding experience.

A waxed jacket for bikers is more than just outerwear—it’s a piece of gear that grows with each journey. Classic biker jackets offer protection and an iconic look, ensuring you feel and look the part as you ride into new adventures.

Killjoy design masterpost (see reblogs for more)

I've been thinking for a while that it may be hard to come up with ideas for your Killjoy and you might need some inspiration! So I've been compiling a long list of designers and people to look at for help with you designs. Before you continue reading, THIS IS A LONG POST. It's also PART 1 because I can only have 30 images on one post. (If you want alt text on the images, reblog and I'll add it later, it been a Long Week)

1) Vivienne Westwood/Malcolm McLaren

Vivienne Westwood is often credited as the Godmother of punk. She ran a shop in London with Malcolm McLaren called "Sex" and their designs influenced punk as we know it today. If you want outrageous anti-fascist designs, look towards her and Sex Pistols' manager Malcolm McLaren.

2) Disco

That's right, I see your disco OC's, and I ADORE THEM. The Disco has a few distinct styles and pictured here we have a mix of the more casual style that you'll see dotted around and the outrageous designs that we know and love. (Yes, that's a screenshot from Mamma Mia, fight me. Also if you take inspiration from that movie I love you)

3) David Bowie

How do you even begin to define someone so incredibly iconic as David Bowie? His extreme makeup and style has wowed and wooed the world throughout his life and since his death. He's inspired countless artists, including Gerard Way, in both musical style and outfit choices, so he is the perfect person to model your OCs after.

4) Marc Bolan

Often referred to as the man who invented glamrock, Marc Bolan has a style that Killjoys would absolutely adore. He blended a sexy mix of feather boas, androgyny and mismatched fabrics that he made work. In fact, while we're at it, look at all of glamrock! It's like a Killjoy haven.

5) Hot pants

Hot pants were a brief 70s fashion piece characterised by being VERY SHORT SHORTS. They were seen both with layers underneath and without (although I think our dear Killjoys would appreaciate the sun protection and the style offered by the layers).

6) Psychedelia

I know, I know, it doesn't exactly scream Danger Days, but I feel like some Killjoys would find some of these dresses and cut them up and make them their own. They're bright, they're fun, and they're certainly weird.

7) Betsey Johnson

Betsey Johnson's designs seems to emulate this mismatched style that's often perpetuated by other Killjoys. Fabrics, colours, and themes that aren't typically seen together with an overall fun atmosphere, it's perfect - especially to a young Killjoy.

8) Madonna

You're trying to tell me that there AREN'T any Killjoys that took a few fashion tips from Madonna? Be for real. Madonna's regular use of lace, fishnets and a general edgy vibe make her more unique take on fashion would most definitely be seen somewhere down in a Killjoy's closet.

9) Tunnel Vision

Tunnel Vision is an alternative fashion brand that is all about the weird and wacky. Their website spans from more normal outerwear to more extreme styles, some of which is the more mis-matched style you see often in OCs.

10) Biker style

It's honestly so goshdarn hard to find decent pictures of biker gear online, but here's a couple. There are a large number of OCs who have motorbikes, but !! they don't have appropriate gear !! Please dress them well my babies do not want to die in a motorcycle accident!!

Oh wow, it's been a bit since we did one of these, huh? We've been busy lately. Fresh Season 2024 may just have started, but we've yet to wave goodbye to Chill Season 2023, and I don't know how other people feel about it but this was my favourite Catalog to date?

Rules:

Put together an outfit of any kind that you feel matches this week’s theme. Be sure to give it a name, as well!

Saiyan Earth outfits

Okay so I’m making a fanfic where the Saiyan trio come to earth together and stuff happens yadayada, they aren’t informed on Earth fashion standards so they just pick up whatever the heck they see. The point is, they look stupid. It is a gag.

Here is what I was thinking for each of them, thoughts?

Vegeta (gremlin/Dragon-Quest-goodiebag core)

Horns headband (trying to be scary!!)

Big pink shirt (the manliest colour!)

A leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders

Underwear?? Or like some short bike pants (wearing just your undies is normal for them 😝)

Big boots (maybe high heels so he’s taller)

Some shiny things for his tail because he’s ✨royalty✨

All the shiny

A choker necklace to hide his scar (lore stuff dw about it)

Bedazzle his nails 💅 (he hides them under his gloves)

Eyeliner (he did with Majin too, so…)

Raditz (looks the most normal)

Biker/punk jacket

T-shirt (with some horror movie poster on it)

Blue jeans

Black boots

Wanted to get some rings too but Vegeta wouldn’t let him (“I’m the special one 😡😡😡 grrr”)

Dappa (Dad Nappa) (so dad coded it’s insane)

ridiculous fishing hat

Wig???

Star shaped sunglasses

Some type of sports gear that doesn’t make sense for him to wear

A shirt that says “big boy” or something stupid like that, or maybe picture of food on it

Hawaiian shirt

Socks and sandals (the socks have a funky pattern)

[ananke-xiii]

i think that the idea that all angels are overly obedient little unquestioning soldiers comes from the visuals we get of the people they tend to possess. in a way, angels seem to have a type, lol.

it's interesting to see it the opposite way.

even if there are quite a lot of exceptions, the people who seem to be more easily manipulated by angels are the nuclear family-office-employee types. people who need to wear suits to go to work. people who are used to corporate-style management. people who are used to the idea of having a boss. people who SEEK power (the vessels of Castiel, Uriel, Zachariah, Bartholomew, Naomi, Rachel, Hester, the majority of the "grunt-like" angels seem to fall into this category)

but these are not necessarily angel-like traits. they are traits that angels need and use to con their way around consent. it's either that or the true-vessel thing was severely underthought. and i like to think it was not.

on the other hand, if angels are such a military-minded family how come we don't see one (1) soldier possessed by an angel with the notable exception of s13 where either all angels possess people in the military or just civilians wearing military gear (or a bit of both). i don't think it's explored how angels get their vessels in that season but it's sort of funny to visually see angels as soldiers after 9 seasons from their introduction.

let's compare it with s9: now, demons don't need consent but i still find it interesting that the writers went out of their way and showed us how demons usually possess not exactly random people (remember the grandma) but a VARIETY of people, while Abaddon make them change meatsuits. She wants war so she gets soldiers. The parallels between how Abaddon recruits her people and how the angel recruit theirs is quite fascinating but it was unfortunately stopped there.

Some angel-exceptions: notably, Gadreel and his bartender guy who told him yes twice; Malachi the anarchist and his thug-like gang; the church ladies and the bikers; the farmer-like guy and the grief counselor woman from s9e1. the angel who tortured Gadreel and Abner whose "angel turned rockstar" storyline was robbed by Lucifer. Lucifer himself has a different taste than most angels until he realizes or maybe remembers how good it feels to be worshipped and he goes bigger and bigger until he cons the president of the united states who could've been a real buddy boylisit. Balthazar, Gabriel and Raphael's vessels are a bit more of a mystery. I'd like to know more about Metatron's, lol.

In S12 Ishim's garrison's vessels seem to share the same style of clothes as opposed to Akobel. I can't say anything about XIX century fashion but Ishim&co's vessels seemed to be doing well financially and maybe belonged to the same class or group.

I don't know where I'm going with this, lol, but there's such a similar yet different resemblance with Leviathan Dick Roman in that Leviathans ARE the real apex of the supernatural food-chain and, once the narrative had decided to forget about them, angels sort of incorporated their traits but with a huuuuge difference: net of the resemblance of their vessels/victims, Leviathans seem to be more "upper middle class gone big during the opulent, cocaine-fueled 80s in American Dream America" while angels are more like "Italian Guelphs and Ghibellines families fighting over secular vs temporal power during the Middle Ages".

Angels are not just soldiers, nor C-level management: they're the power that comes from blood, the aristocratic kind, the kind that takes what it wants because it never really knew opposition nor has ever cared about it. these are NOT people who seek power, these are people born IN it. well, not people. Angels. Anyway. THIS, this is showed a lot in how all angels act, regardless of their vessels.

I like you *gives Mal proper motor gear*

i think this is my-fourth time redesigning her d3 gear? but this time-this time! is a redesign with the same concept instead of switching it around to a different fashion/bike gear. for Rewrite its just biker punk gear, this is based around motorbike armor, which-looking around on Pinterest, with how-lowkey blank motor gear is-i will admit they did what they could with the canon designs-they still suck-but-theres not a lot to do with motor gear....EXCEPT THERE IS CUZ AHAHA LOOK UP BITCHES.
