What gear and where?
Hi,
So I've got my license and making plans for a trip. But first I need a bike and the gear.
I'm a short lady so want a low, light bike for touring - aiming for plenty of dirt roads in Africa/US, but I'll be building up to that while I'm saving up in the UK (I've only done 4 days on a bike for my test). Currently thinking the XT250 or a DRZ400 with mods to lower the seat height.
But, where's a good place to go for women's specific gear? - helmet, jacket, trousers, boots etc... Would love to be able to go into a shop and try some stuff. And is there anything I should be looking for specifically?
Basically, I know nothing about the clothing etc, so any pointers to get me started appreciated!
