Hi All:
I will be looking to purchase my first motorcycle over the next couple of weeks - a dual sport. I am taking a bike safety course shortly and need to pick up some equipment - the usual helmet, jacket, boots.
I will be using my dual sport on the road and on trails and plan on riding frequently from early spring to late fall and have easy access to trails from my house. I also plan on using the bike to commute 20 mins or so to work (90% on 2-lane 80KM/HR highways). I could really use some advice with some recommendations for equipment for my intended use. In particular, I am wondering:
1. Is their a decent all-in-one solutions for a helmet? Or would it be better to get a off-road helmet for trails (i.e. open with googles) and a more dedicated street helmet for commuting?
2. Any recommendations for boots, given my described purpose?
3. Jacket - Is their such a thing as a flexible all season jacket?
Any advice/recommendations appreciated!
