Hey Everyone, I be a newb here. Got into autocycles because I currently don't have the money to fix up my motorcycle. But, all the same, I'm looking to save money and have fun doing it. I'm full time college student, so finances are tight. I also have alot of emergency medical training in which I have witnesses and cared for 'cycle injuries. Road rash, head and ortho injuries and the like. So that being said, wear your gear. Better to be over protected than under protected. Wear your leathers, (at least jacket and gloves) and a full face helmet. Or one that at least has a chin bar as part of the design. You'll thank me later when they don't have to scrub your road rash with what feels like a steel brush, on your face, hands, legs etc. Also, make sure you wear sturdy, closed toed footwear that will also protect your ankle. And if you go to your local motorcycle shop, some will also have info for safety classes as well as free reflective stickers in which you can apply to your helmet and bike. Treat your ride as if it's a 650cc beast and you'll be safe in the long run. Happy riding and like they say in the Motorcycle world, keeping two to the pavement!
Also, I would love to hear from everyone their ideas/tricks for safety gear and riding.
