Whoa...that's great! Looks almost like my helmet and almost like a jacket I have (now if it - the jacket - were blue...). But I am green with envy as I see you live in the land of palm trees, hence no snow?? whilst us Northerners are now contemplating when to winterize our bikes and hope for just a few more days (please!) of no snow....

(that's me being green) and

for you!

It would be great to re-savor that first year or so of riding....

Congrats, your bike looks great in that color. Just some textile pants and some boots and you will be all set.

I put it in the back of my truck, they had a ramp. And when i got home, i took my tailgate off, backed up to the gutter and used a 2x8 to get it off, worked fine. Oh and i had just gotten home when i took the picture so i wasn't in jeans and my boots. I got to wait for the next paycheck to get the pants.

Is that a Scorpion helmet? I am looking into buying one and wanted to know what you thought of that one. Even if you havent had alot of time to wear it.

It's Oct 22 and I'm holding on by the tips of my fingers. I keep thinking that as long as the sun is shining it's still good to ride. -2 and I'm still holding in there, sometimes.

Don't worry, cotton jeans will protect his skin about as well as khakis.

armored jeans (jeans with mettal in the butt and knees) dont do very well. textile pants or chaps do well, but with that jacket, i would say textile pants.

your knees may be the first thing to hit the ground, but their not the only thing to hit the ground. besides, their uncomfortable and heavy, and too expensive for so little protection
