I have either go to the local shops, or go to In fact, I just ordered a new rainsuit. It’s a 2 piece Nelson Riggs, with 2nd day shipping ($19.99) it came to $73.98. List is $53.99. I could of got one cheaper, but this was the nicest looking one with orange, and my bike is orange, so I like to match. Plus its got some good features. I also ordered a really nice mesh jacket made my Fieldsheer, with back, spin, shoulder, and elbow pads and a waterproof liner, it was only $89.99 with free shipping. I went to a shop locally and same jacket was $149.99. Plus they do price guarantees and say its wrong size, no biggy, return and swap it. Also bought 2 great helmets there for under $150

They sell clearance stuff that is new. I would recommend jackets with removable liners. Or buy a summer jacket and a nike ‘undershirt’. Buy 2 pairs of gloves, light and heavy.

Rain, that’s another story. Maybe a rainsuit?

100 degrees where do you live!! venus

newenough.com or motorcyclesuperstore.com but newenough.com has tons of great deals. My wife bought me a leather jacket with mesh down the sides/sleeves. Works great!

Cycle gear usually runs some great sales, check out their website and see if there is anything you like.

Don’t buy used gear

You can shop around to find a jacket similar to A Joe Rocket Phoenix. This is an armored mesh and works well. I went down at 55mph wearing mine and can attest to its protective ability. My gloves are alpine star, same story, armored mesh. I wear an HJC 5/8 helmet and feel protected. What ever summer helmet u choose the wind must blow up and under it to cool. Forget all the hi tech weeney holes the factory’s put in. To work those holes would have to be about 3 inches in diameter. I’m in Arizona and 110 isn’t uncommon here.

Yes you said cheap, good luck. Cheap is a Levi jacket and Lamont wells mule gloves and there is NO acceptable cheap helmet. Perhaps you can find a used cycle gear place – some dealers do carry a used rack and it is cheap.

Good luck, cheap and cycle is a hard sentence to write.

you use whatever you want or feel like it man…. here i wear shorts and a tank top…..here also 100 + in the day but its been in the 90’s at nite… i just wear my plain old leathers when cold and if it rains i dont get that wet…. and ive rode mine across the states west coast east coast four or five times they all about the same….so it just depends on what you want to buy or wear
