Cruiser apparel / helmet

skwasjer · 07-25-10, 05:19 PM

I am going to get my motorcycle license soon, and am looking for a cruiser kindof style wear. In the future I see me riding a HD (but will start on something cheaper/lighter), to give you an idea of what clothes/helmet I look for. As far as a helmet, in the past when I was a kid I wore a 3/4 helmet on my Honda C50, and I definately still like the look of such helmets, but I rather go for a fullface this time around because I am not willing to exchange my teeth anymore.

If anyone has some good links, tips on this kind of wear let me know. Budget is less of importance than quality/protection. I still wanna look cool though!!

I'm running with a BMW system 5 flip up. Best helmet i've had, including arai's and shoei's. Nice thing is , when you dismount , you just flip it up and chat/smoke etc, without having to remove it.

Another thing recently got is a leatt-brace, its cumbersome, but i broke c2 in my neck many yeas ago and and now don't skimp on minimizing risk. And it clips off in about 15 seconds.
