  • Starting to buy some bits with view to getting test.

    I have no idea what I'm doing, just been reading reviews so I'm posting up here in case anyone sees any issues or has any suggestions. I'm buying for local fairweather leisure riding at the moment till in get my skill level up.

    Shoei NXS lid
    Alpinestars SMX6 boots
    Alpinestars GP plus r v2 jacket
    Haven't decided on trousers, something that zips into the jacket.
    Haven't decided on what to wear underneath, Merino t shirt?

    I'm pretty set on a Ninja 400 now for my first bike pending a test ride.

  • As up-thread, I find myself somewhat a collector of jackets. That’s meant I’ve been happier with the Acerbis X-Air comp suit, and then whatever bike jacket on top. However, normally on green lanes while it’s cold I wear a Richa jacket with armour in place.

    Whatever kit you buy, I can more or less guarantee you’ll be buying different kit after a few months of riding, and realising what feels good/bad.

  • Urban Rider right now has a sample sale and there’s a RDS waxed cotton gilet. Things like these are nice under a leather jacket on a cold morning/night, as they block wind and allow that retro look if someone’s into that
