    When I bought my 1st bike (ninja 250, 1999), I was working for a very experienced rider. He told me, "get the $375 helmet, not the &150 helmet. Get the leather with hard armor inserts at joints. Get the back hard armor." Arrai helmet. Triumph brand leather jacket and pants. $125 dollar boots. I had 3 accidents, never had an injury and still have all of the gear

    I had a high side literally under 2 minutes after leaving my house. I had Alpinestars Leather Jacket, Arai helmet, G Star Raw Jeans, Polo Alpine200 Mens Hiking Boots (more like Sneakers), and Gloves. The Jean's were torn off and skin taken with it, the metal on the boots were grinded to nothing, the toe area was one tread away from eating my toes. Even my underwear were torn off.
    We never anticipate these things happening to us, but it does. Its better to pay for the gear and not need it, than to need the gear or end up in the ER paying medical Bills....as an FYI, most insurance companies cover up to $3000-5000 in gear as part of your policy.
    Buy the gear and wear it. There's nothing cool about having scars or having to stay in the house all summer healing because you wanted to ride with a T-shirt and sneakers.

      @Seth Taylor - Shop at your local retail store then buy online? Think about that from the local shop's perspective. They pay rent, utilities, and lots of taxes. They pay the salaries of their sales staff and they invest a fortune in inventory for you to try on... so you can buy it online and save a few bucks. Not cool, dude.
      I buy online, but I'd never go to a local shop and take up their time, which is money to them because the salesperson is being paid, and then after their pre-sales assistance, buy from their online competitor. I guess it's better than shoplifting, but they're fairly similar. In either case, something of value was taken from a retail business.
      Gee, I wonder why there are fewer local shops with knowlegeable staff where we can shop and make an informed purchasing decision and we're now forced to buy riding gear sight unseen at Amazon?

I have been in 2 accidents wearing cheap helmets and it saved the skin on the top of my head once, but the second one I was wearing an open faced helmet and it moved up when I hit the road. Busted the top of my eye completely open. I also was wearing tennis shoes and when the other bike hit us it broke my big toe and foot from getting trapped between the motor and the front tire of the other bike. WEAR THE SAFETY GEAR.....

Long story short I hit a deer that obviously jump right in front of my bike about 10yrs ago I was doing 50mph and a full face helmet saved my live. I didn't have full gear on so road rash was a thing I was responsible for. I didn't sustain any broken bones but let me tell you taking a shower with road rash is extremely painful.

    Another nice video on the info on gear. As far as Helmets go, people should think of them as a " custom fit" item. It wasn't until I went to buy my 3rd Helmet and met a salesman in a Harley dealership and he thoroughly explained the difference in brands and models, antyfog visors and if the padding is machine washable. After that experience I couldn't believe the previous salesman from other bike shops including other shops the bikes shops I walked into in search of my 3rd helmet. With the relaxed attitude about the gear thay have on their shelves. Every time I was told " Helmets are over there, come find me when you've found one you like". Any time you guys here this move on to the next shop. Until you find someone who will help you find the most comfortable, best fitting helmet you can afford.

    • @yeejay6396
      @yeejay6396 Год назад +1

      I've been wondering about this for the longest time.
      I often just measure my body/head and go with a fit. The issue with this is that given the site/vendor/seller their fit is varied because sizing can be off by even a few cm's and screws up the sizing as a whole. Stuff like this makes me miss football days. The only reason why I buy from the web is pricing can vary greatly, but often times it quite literally comes at a cost. Some day soon I'll find a shop/dealership like you did, and much like my sports coaches hope that a sales rep fits me right and gives me advice. I want to ride for as long as I am able. Because owning and maintaining a 4 wheel vehicle all the time is a pain in the neck.

    Gotta say that integrated sun glasses should be way up on the list for city driving. It's a safety feature. It helps me SEE. Drive around a corner and the sun is now shining directly into my eyes? Sun glasses down. Drive into a tunnel? Sunglasses up. Seeing where I am going is the number 1 safety feature. If I ever happen to get into a crash directly on my forhead and the helmet provides less safety because they hollowed that part out to make room for sunglasses, well, that will suck. But I've already avoided several accidents thanks to my integrated sunglasses. They are also super nice on cold days when I have the visor open to combat fog. Seems to do a lot to keep my face warm (so that I leave the visor more open) and reduce fog. Again, helping me to SEE. And I will never again have to ride home at night with a tinted visor. This makes sense to me. Does it make sense to you? Why does literally no one talk about this? Am I missing something?

    The only thing I disagree on is the combat part when talking about boots when you know what combat boots to look for they can be just as protective as motorcycle boots is recommend looking for special operations boots like special air service boots there specially designed to allow the wearer to use motorcycles and all kinds of special operation scenario

    The best equipment consist of wearing fully armored racing leathers, complete with an air bag system, high armored motorcycle boots, armored gloves, and a SNELL certified FULL FACE helmet that’s never been in an accident and is still less than 5 years old. If you can afford all that, you should be wearing it.

    I'm one of those squids who usually only wear a helmet. When it's in the 80s and 90s during summer, I cannot fathom wearing all that gear. It would be sweltering in stop and go traffic. I usually only wear jackets and gloves and boots when it starts getting cool/cold outside or if I'm planning to take a long journey via interstate highways. I'm that guy wearing an expensive Arai helmet with Tshirt, shorts, and sneakers. If I go down in a crash, I'll have only myself to blame.

I mean dead on in my sightline, where I'm pretty certain it would've hit me directly in the eye. Even if it didn't permanently fuck my eyeball up somehow, I would've for sure dumped the bike doing about 45mph.

    What about commuter gear for those of us who work where it's not feasible to wear motorcycle pants and boots all day? The helmet, jacket, and gloves can all come off. But I need boots that aren't riding boots at work (work boots, and I prefer steel toe), which some people may consider fine but not being experienced myself, I don't want to make that assumption. And do the experienced here think it is better to change pants at work when arriving and before leaving, or to wear something like an over-pant?
