Okay So im short on cash and I'm slowly making my way thru getting my gear and repairs for the bike and all that good stuff. Ebay is your friend.
Anyway, i needed something to hold me over (for gear) until I can afford a nice leather jacket, preferably from Alpinestars. So far, a friend of mine (also the seller of the bike) has been generous enough to let me use his helmet for the time being. So I have that.... and nothing else for gear. Basically I haven't started riding the bike too much yet cause it still needs rear tire, chain and sprockets, front brakes and stuff but I do take it out a couple times a week to keep it running.
Everytime I go out, this is what I put on for protection. Better than a white Tshirt and shorts right?!
nfloor Well, i have my friend's Shoei Helmet which is pretty good. I have on my pretty sturdy jean pants...specificially, they're pretty tight and sturdy jeans from Expressmen. I have my wife beater tucked into my pants. I have a regular shirt over it, tucked in the pants as well. (So if i go sliding across the asphault, I dont get road rash on my back) I have on my boots (not ankle high, just some black leather Sketchers), and I have a Old navy denim jacket, fully button and tightened. And, I put on a pair of Nike Magnigrip gloves on (only leather gloves I have). That's about all the gear I have so far.
So my question. Will these be sufficient enough to at least protect me a little bit? Especially the denim jacket... or am I just making myself sweaty, hot and uncomfortable for absolutely no/little protection? If so, what a sucky trade off!
Well thanks.
