and the stickies on top of this sub-thread 'Newbies' as well >> will save ya lots of time and energy and make sure you start / continue riding ATGATT ! At times,
free gear could be had under
Riding Gear , else they are very reasonably priced!!!
>>> jacket, riding pants, gloves, boots, lids, 1pc, 2pc .... <<< You can start collecting or continue to amass more .... gear !!!! :laughing
As to gear, take advantage of all the moto gear shops in SF and all over the BA to go in to try on for size and comfort (jackets, riding pants & lids). To name a few : the D-store (Dainese store) & Scuderia West in the city; CG (Cycle Gear) all over the BA; Road Rider in SJ and Santa Clara Motorcycle in Sunnyvale. Nobody minds if you walk around the store with a lid on to get a feel for comfort and fit. Ask lots of questions to the staff about gear. :afm199 <<< LOL I just added this paragraph to this greeting. :cool
I like
General >>> good stuffs and
Kitchen Sink >>> entertaining stuffs :teeth
Read up some posts, be active, join a ride, even create your own ride (with time and route) and post it up in Group Rides. :afm199
IMPORTANT: If you need help on the road >>> post in 'General' and
BARF Roadside Angels will come to your rescue !! RT Russ was referring to this as Connie is our BARF Roadside Angel Leader.
