  • We cover the basics of what a new rider should get
  • Prepare for the sli de, not the ride (Christmas Story little brother!)  Just kidding and we had a lot of fun with this during the show. :) 

#1, your gear is your primary setup for climate control, get something as comfortable as possible, and minimize gear that is distracting.

• Ride your ride, no need to keep up with advanced riders beyond your skill level

Find a helmet that FITS properly!

• Recommend a full face, but that’s your decision

Boots

• Over the ankle, sturdy, perhaps leather, sneakers need not apply, flip flops, your an idiot

Gloves

• Good place to spend some money for quality and comfort, remember climate control..
• Three finger gloves for Bacon ;)

Jacket

• Leather or Nylon, consider changing weather needs and rain options

Pants

• recommend riding jeans with full kevlar or motorcycle specific riding pants
