Any checklist for new riders for gear before they ride. I only have boots and gloves going to buy the rest this week. Will be taking my safety class 27-29 of this month. Then will be looking for a 06-09 ninja on CL Dallas.

um… helmet, armored jacket, and amored pants mebbe?

Don’t know if Dallas has them flying type bugs, but if it does, a good full face shield helmet would be a good idea…

Gloves, boots that go up to your ankle at least, along with Spaz’s suggestions.

I got a Fieldsheer Jacket with armor(and it looks and feels/fits awesome BTW) for $46 and I can get armored pants for around $50 so they are even affordable IF you look. Jacket and pants around $100, Helmet was $60 and gloves $20(leather with the molded knuckle armor and extra padding in the “skid zones”. So im pretty much ready to go for under $200 for everything(I already have about a trillion pairs of work boots that will work just fine for over the ankle boots) I need to ride and its not junk this is decent stuff just on closeout most of it.

Jacket:$47

this is the Jacket I got(just got it today) its armored in the shoulders,forearms+elbows,and back VERY nice for the $$$
Jacket:(i got the yellow for visibility)

thats $180 for everything..not “cheap” but not horrible to be fully protected either..a LOT of people pay more than that just on ONE piece(normally the helmet) alone let alone get ALL your gear for that much..and like I said its not junk Fieldsheer is pretty good as is Tour Master the helmet is DOT/Snell so thats just a example of how you can get gear of decent quality for “cheap”

[BoOZe P-ti Motard]

that’s a decent set of goodbargainprice gearing stuffs… second link for gloves is better… coz i like above cuff i used to wear normal gloves but switched to high cuff ones where you can tuck your jacket sleeve end into the glove, preventing air from entering your jacket because using the first said gloves, i was like parachuting on the bike…

Yea, i liked the 2nd pair myself..bad thing is they only had my size in the red and blue and i was thinking with a yellow jacket they may look cheesy , I can luckily velcro the sleeve openings tight so no air can get in . I cant say enough GOOD things about that jacket for the price..I was leery at first and its a great jacket.
