K i need your help!!
i just got my bike and obviously need some gear to go along with it...
what would you recommend for not to much of a price..
i need something around helmet..pants or leathers..jacket or leather...gloves..and knee sliders if im not using leathers...
well leathers are always a plus. If not buy some zocchi knee sliders and u can use them over your jeans. Get somekinda of motorcycle jacket.good gloves. ***/snell aproved helmet and your good to go.
Got to your local motorcycle dealer and buy some dirt biking knee pads like fox,shift ones, they are only around $10-12.If you cant buy a motorcycle jacket( a real kind like alpinestar,etc) just get a leather jacket with some elbow pads.For a helmet you just need a dirt bike helmet or a ***/snell approved helmet.You dont really need gloves but its more better to have some kind of gloves because if you dont you hands can get seriously messed up.
Get a HJC helmet very reasonable in price and a great helmet. I saw some nice padded bicycle gloves at Wal-Mart the other day for like $10-$12. I would recommend gloves at all times. I don't have leathers yet so I can't help you there.
gloves are very imortant!!! I took a dive this weekend and my gloves took a pretty good beating instead of my hands. If I didnt hve them on I would have been done real early in the day. that would have sucked since I already paid the $30 for the day of riding.
I say don't waste your money here and there on jackets etc. Just get a full leather suit once. They usually come with knee sliders so no need to get anything else. Sliders cost $25-$35 a pair and you won't be needing replacements for a while depending on how you ride.
I HAVE EXTRA JACKET IF U NEED THAT I WILL SELL TO YOU CHEAP ITS BRAND NEW TEKNIC VENTED LEATHER JACKET.ITS YELLOW/BLK/SILVER IN A US SIZE 54.BRAND NEW STILL HAS TAGS ON IT.IF U WANT TO SEE PICS OF IT E MAIL ME YOUR E MAIL ADDY AND I WILL SEND PICS.

It depends. If you like walking around with your suit fully zipped up then a one piece is fine. If not, then get a two piece. I like both but in certain circumstances I prefer the 2 piece. You get to walk around with out the extra weight.
Not to mention my suit is slightly big on me so it comes off slowly if I unzip it.
I wear in practice what I wear for racing....everything. If you don't wear full gear, you don't push your bike to the max. At least I don't anyway. But then i'm an old fart and I break easy without full gear, heh.
When you get used to wearing gear you cannot ride the same without it. I would suggest a 2pc. suit just because if its hot you can take the jacket off and still be comfortable. I love my 2pc. and would never replace it.
I wear my leathers, gloves, helmet, and shoes even if i'm just reving the bike on the stand. You never know! LOL
that has to be the finniest damn visual ive had all day.......silly azz bass turd standing next to his minimoto fully geared just reving the snot outta the bike...inside his garage.....lmao
