Gearing up

When I left my home country I sold my old gear, since I strongly believed I would never be using it again. Oh, I had forgotten how much fun it is to browse for motorcycle equipment. After shopping around I found that Helmet City offered the best pricing for the gear that I was looking for, plus they do ship to Canada. Other gear I purchased at a local dealer GW Cycle World, a family owned business, which would become my favorite place to check out bikes and equipment.

Here's my ultimate motorcycle gear list:

Firstgear Kilimanjaro Jacket with removable protectors and liner

Frank Thomas Jasmine leather pants

Odlo Thermo-Undies

Hein Gericke Kidney Belt

Mother-in-law's hand-knit woolen socks

Waterproof Alpinestar Ridge Boots

Several gloves: Scorpion Kats, my old warm Therm-Boy's, and a pair of Thor motocross-gloves

Shoei RF-1000 Helmet

Scarf and face mask

And yes, it will take up to ten minutes to get dressed. And yes, chances are I will very much resemble the Michelin Woman or the Dough Girl, but do not intend to prematurely end up as an organ donor, if I can help it.
