I'm looking into getting a bike soon (CBT in a couple of weeks).

I have often read advice against using second hand kit. While I can see why this applies to helmets, what about the rest of the stuff? I have been thinking about picking up some two piece leathers/globes/boots from ebay to save costs until I actually have more first-hand experience of what I gear I really want. Opinions welcome! smile

Nothing wrong with used clothing, just don't get a used skid lid.....cool

What are you looking for exactly, as in size, style etc, only I'm about to get shot of my stuff that I used to ride the Ducati in.......as I don't need it for riding the Harley rolleyes

yes Don't get a second hand lid! You can't tell if it's been dropped. For clothing - lots of good bargins on e-bay etc.

Do you fall differently from a Harley compared to a Ducati? Is it a different type of rain/cold depending on the bike you ride?

I've been thinking of a 2-piece set for around 39" chest, 33" waist suitable for summer use.
