Kitting up for the first time - what are the essentials?
Hey guys,
So I've got my first bike and while waiting for it it to be delivered on Tuesday (not soon enough!!), I spent yesterday getting some gear. First time ever in a bike shop... big thanks to Chris at Peter Stevens Motorcycles for talking me through every purchase and seeing me right.
So far I've got: a full-face Arai helmet, a sturdy textile/cordura jacket with removable lining and adjustable everything, leather motorcycling boots and leather gloves with reinforcement in all the right places.
I figure that's enough to get me started - and I spent over a grand, so my credit card was feeling a bit traumatised after that little lot! But is there any other gear you'd strongly recommend I get at this stage? I wanna strike a balance between being sensible and safe and not bankrupting myself in these early stages of my riding career!
