So, I bought my first bike, what gear do I need? - Page 2

I ride a sportbike so I am sure my opinion on gear is different than what the cruiser guys will tell you...so instead of putting in my opinion I am just saying hi.

Although...regardless of the bike...please wear a good helmet.

Only you will know what is good for you.

I suggest helmet, jacket, gloves and boots

I have a* street cargo pants.. They seem as though they are meant to be overpants. Ill throw them over my uniform... Bit I took the foam armor out... And got a*knee and shin guards.

if you get the overpants with full length zippers down the sides I dont think your pants will get too wrinkled. At least mine don't.

I say fuck it go no pants... After all... You don't live anywhere near me... And might help motorcycle awareness

During the MSF course I remember them drilling into our heads that even driveways are "intersections."
