Before summer, I bought my first bike. It was a wee little ninja that I cautiously learned on until I traded it for my current 04 Kat. Now, riding my ninja I was the typical obnoxious college kid on a bike, jeans and a tshirt with the law reguarded helmet. Since purchasing the kat, Ive really been afraid. Not only does the larger\faster bike make me a little more cautious but since the start of the college year more and more idiot drivers have rolled into town.
So Ive geared up.
Picked up a scorpion jacket for a hundred bucks from KD.com, and some Joe rocket gauntlets from a local shop. All in all I spent less than 200$ and its worth it for how much safer wearing gear feels. I cant imagine whats going through the heads of the kids zipping around on their rashed cbr\r6's and still not wearing gear.
This thread is mainly about how different the feeling is once you actually put on a jacket compared to never having worn one. The difference is irrevolkable and I wont be jacketless again.
Whats even better is that most of the online dealers offer some bangin deals from time to time, especially on super small sizes, which my girlfriend happens to be. Hello jacket\helmet combo for under a hundred even!
