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.

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?

You’re right about the helmet. I’ve been living in Vietnam for the past 9 years. We really don’t drive that fast here (thank God). 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.....

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

Жыл бұрын

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.

It's also worth noting that gloves help keep the sun off your hands. May not be a top priority for someone in the Us, but if you plan on riding somewhere like Dubai during the summer, gloves become really important

i was just in a motorcycle accident yesterday please wear all your gear i know its not comfortable but it saved my life helmet chest and back plate are the #1 according to my emt i would be dead.

its true, my mom was riding back in like '89 and got hit by a dude at intersection ran a red light and it ripped her foot off it was dangling by just the achilles tendon. she had bunch more serious injuries but yah. a good boot cal really save yuh a world of hurt

I wanted to commute year round in Philadelphia when I started riding and didn't factor in the cost of all that gear. Every season change for about two years saw me buying more gear. Now, I can ride comfortable (somewhat) from 15 to 100 degrees, but good lord was that expensive. I urge new riders to really think about what they want to do on a bike and budget for extra gear when starting out and buying a first bike.

I feel that the airbag vests/ jackets are way more important that this video leads on. Tons of fatal accidents are casued by injuries to the chest/ thorax. These vests can save your life and I think should be worn by everyone. Especially vests that support your neck and reduce whiplash. Every rider, and especially beginners, should just throw on a vest like the Helite Turtle 2.

DO NOT BRING MOTOCROSS BOOTS TO YOUR MSF COURSE! Makes getting your toe under the shift lever nearly impossible. Any bike you get you can adjust where the levers are, but they wont let you do this with the course bikes.

I have a leather riding jacket, black. But my bike. A Yamaha v-star 650 custom has a good amount of chrome and chrome plated parts. The glint of these parts are eye catching. I’m not sure why people call them dad bikes. A flashy paint job that blends in with all the other flashy paint jobs. Is literally just blending in to the driver experience. Stick out anyway you can.

6:35 SNELL was created when it was discovered that the old leather caps are insufficient in the event of rolling over a car that has no roof.

I just tried on a few helmets yesterday and ended up buying an LS2 Stream that cost $170. I'm going to take it to the basic course this weekend and see if they say it fits me and if I made a decent choice. I left all of the tags and stickers on it, so I can exchange it for something else, if necessary. I wore it around the store, and it felt okay to me. I'm just excited to finally try a real motorcycle. I sat on a few at the store yesterday and they felt really comfortable. Hopefully I can find a good, used beginner bike.

Yes, very good Nocturne... I love your background music taste(s). So far I got gloves, still need helmet/jacket/pants/boots... Thank you for the informative videos I might be addicted :D

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?

After that I bring water with me everywhere I go, even with my new to me car that has AC. I couldn't imagine riding without having water near, especially during summer.
