Everyone, eventually, grows up.
You get wise to what you like, what you need and what you want.
You develop your own style — your choices start to reflect who you are, what you’re willing to try. You realise that you’re multi-faceted: not one dimensional.
Some – ok a very minor few – come to this naturally, but most of us take their time (with the occasional nudge from loved ones). Everyone’s journey is different.
When it comes to motorcycle wear, however, it can be hard to find quality, affordable and stylish pieces that offer rider protection.
When we looked at opening a retail store (which we did, some epic before and after shots to come), top of our criteria for motorcycle gear was: stylish gear that’s made to last; is comfortable; reliable; designed for the rider; and importantly, gives you choice. It was a long list. We did our research. We took our time.
We’re very happy to announce that AMAC Motorcycles has teamed up with Blackbird Motorcycle Wear to bring great quality motorcycle wear to Cairns and FNQ.
An Australian brand with a growing global cult following, Blackbird Motorcycle Wear designs motorcycle jackets, jeans, gloves, tees and accessories with the ride and the destination in mind — meaning their gear looks and feels good on and off the bike.
If you have a classic motorcycle, cafe racer, custom bobber or flat tracker, this brand is for you. If you have a modern bike and you’re looking to personalise your look beyond the typical fare, we have something for you.
Blackbird Motorcycle Wear Boston gloves, available in men’s and women’s sizes at AMAC Motorcycles, Cairns.
Across their range, Blackbird captures that vintage, retro feel that’s seen a renaissance in the last few years and which easily adapts to the urban rider looking to build their own style.
The men’s Wakefield jacket, made of quality natural milled leather, feels as good on as it looks and is built to last.
Naturally milled cowhide makes Blackbird’s leather jackets and gloves super soft and built to last. Removable liners, vents, perforations and textile options help adapt to our warmer climes. Removable CE armour comes standard with every jacket.
And ladies, we think we’ve found the best women’s motorcycle jeans on the market. Seriously.
The ladies in our team — one experienced rider and competitive drag racer and one new-to-road-bikes with champagne-tastes-on-a-beer-budget rider — tested them out before we stocked them, the verdict: every one of us now has a pair.
The women’s Montana jacket features perforated upper panels for ventilation and pairs perfectly with Blackbird Motorcycle Wear jeans, available in black or blue, fully lined or integrated patches.
That’s because Blackbird jeans have been designed by women riders (finally, a designer who understands!). They feature stretch skinny denim that feels great, looks amazing; a drawstring tie waist for a personalised fit; a high cut waist for no awkward reveals, and a faux zipper crotch. Available in black or blue with either a full-length DuPont™ Kevlar® fibre liner or integrated patches at the seat, hips and knees.
We’ve started off with a select range in store and we can order in any item and size from the Blackbird catalogue. You’ll see our range increase over time with helmets and boots and quality accessories.
Already our customers are telling us these are the motorcycle apparel choices they’ve been looking for.
But you’re the ultimate judge.
Come and see our new store and tell us what you think - you might just find your best look here.
