Isn't buying new Biker clothing fun..

[NineOneSeven]

As my DAS starts in a couple of weeks I have decided to hire a bike to get some practice in.

So off I went to buy some biker gear. I already have a new Shoei Raid 2, which I got last month to compete in a Endurance race in my mates 911.

I got a great AlpineStars Jacket, boots and gloves. Just need a pair of jeans now and maybe a 'forcefeild' back protector. Its a good feeling buying kit.

I did well actually as all the Alpine Stars stuff was on sale and I got the gloves for free.

Now I am gonna look great on that CG 125 I have hired for week. (NOT!)

I actually hate buying new gear, always feels better in the shop than it does when you wear it on the bike for the first time. If your thinking of jeans atleast get bike kevlar jeans or fabric bottoms, normal denim doesn't stand up well to tarmac- surely you're going to need decent pants for when you've passed the test?

definatly yes to back protector if the jacket hasnt got one.

i hate buying stuff, it never feels right for 6months after getting it.
