Other than the immediately obvious (gloves, helmet,) what gear would you recommend for a new rider?

1. Helmet
2. Gloves (actual riding gloves, not garden gloves or anything stupid)
3. Textile/Leather Jacket
4. Textile/Leather/Chaps or Heavy duty denim pants
5. Moto Boots

As above - might be an idea to go around a few local dealers and see what's on offer. Main thing is to make sure whatever you do get is comfortable, especially the helmet - I've had one or two nightmares in the past with poorly fitting lids that have led to headaches!!
