used motorcycle gear edm???
 

I have been looking on kijiji every day, but does anyone else know where i can find good used ladies/mens small riding gear? i have training in 2 weeks and I only have my helmet!

This might not be much help but I know my ex was part of some motorcycle forum that sold used stuff. No idea what the name of it is though :noidea:

I thought bikers were good with jeans sneakers and a cool Kawasaki jacket that matches their bike. Lol.

now thats a lil close minded there patrick lol my jacket would need harley davidson written on it

what is it that your thinking you need flashy?

Ha ha! I'm joking!

Bah, I drive a harley and I can't afford a leather jacket with harley on it :mrgreen:

depends on how hot it is, I know in the summer I just have a t-shirt and jeans a lot, but it is often up around 40 degrees here. I had my leather jacket on when I first moved up here and I stoped at lights and was soaked. so normal for me is a jean jacket then no jacket as the heat comes out.


now for the original question when I did my riding course, I used a jean jacket, work boots, jeans and a helmet, oh and leather work gloves. after I passed my course I got the real stuff.

It doesn't have to be leather. I also found it a tad toasty wearing leather during the heat of an Okanagan summer, so a couple of years ago I picked up a synthetic jacket ideal for summer riding. It was on sale at a local shop, don't recall the price, but probably not much more than you'd pay for used gear. It has plenty of zip vents & elbow pads for protection. Very windproof when all the vent zips are done up. As far as pants go, I often wear jeans but they offer little protection if you ever go down. I've been meaning to buy chaps, but not a fan of those really. I do have a full leather suit & another leather jacket that's pretty beefy for the cooler days. I usually wear the full leathers when I'm out on a longer trip on the highway. Feels a whole lot safer than a t-shirt & jeans, although I'm guilty in that regard as well if I'm just tooling around town. Neither of my bikes offer much in the way of windshield protection (I like 'em naked), so anything over 60 kmh, jeans & t-shirt don't cut it.

Anyhow, here's a photo of the synthetic jacket I'm talking about. I'm sure you can get something similar for a good price new to get you through the course & work on the leather goods later on. BMW also sells synthetic riding gear, but the price is too much for me to stomach, so "Shift" it is.

Thought I had a pair of leather chap that might have fit you flash but they are labeled xl even though they do fit me & I'm no where near an xl.

Most of the riding coarse's are starting to require proper riding gear for the safety factor. Everything now a days is all about safety.

i need a jacket in ladies med or mens small, i may have found gloves. and boots in a 7 ladies or 6 mens. I don't want to spend a lot of money on stuff just to get me through the course. but textile jackets are min $250 , the boots/shoes for street are in $150... expensive hobby that is for sure, which is why i am looking for used!
