Cycling Leather Gloves
How much does it cost for all the kit that goes with a motorbike?
I live in England. I'm trying to figure out how much to budget for safety gear and kit that isn't part of a motorbike or moped.
If I do this, I'm not prepared to do the basic legal minimum. I'd like a helmet (of course), leathers, boots, gloves, and armour. I'm thinking £600-700, does that sound about right?
I'm not interested in racing 600cc bikes at silly speeds- I want to travel in a city centre or occasional link roads at 40-50mph. Traffic is too thick for a car to work, and I'm an on call doctor so public transport and walking are out.
Yes, motorbikes/mopeds are riskier than cars. But it's less risky than being on a less weighty bicycle (which is what I do now). Motorbikes can absorb impact better than bicycles, can accelerate out of danger and I'd have proper safety clothes and a better helmet than when I cycle. Please don't post stuff about the dangers. I used to work in A&E so I know full well. I'd just like polite answers to my question please.
£600-700 is right in the market to get you started. As you go along, you'll buy more for each season. Being in sunny olde England, you'll want something that keeps you dry as well as safe. If you shop around, you can get a full set of gear that will do the trick. For your budget, leather jacket and pants are out of range, but the textile stuff is actually better suited to a commuter, anyway. You can wear it over your work clothes.
