this is most probably the most important part of all... the gear. protecting oneself on the bike with good clobber is vital. so far all I have bought are pants and a helmet, which does not speak for much, but on the flipside this gear is expensive. the touring pants set me back around 2grand. my matt black airoh helmet was a cool 2200, which is not a bad price. I've got some kit coming from Switzerland, touring jacket, a pair of gloves and a kidney belt, which could be useful when the roads get rough.
today I saw some awesome thor boots for 1750, they looked pretty good and a body armour set for 685 so that looks like the route to go and then I pretty done with protection... I think.
i'm itching to do a little trip...

Hi smile
According to the shop in Switzerland, your gear should arrive this or next week, so you will get it on may 13.
Cheers Stefan
Hey mark
Ride your gear in! I dont advise you to take new stuf(helmet/boots/ etc.) on the trip. You must fell real comfortable in the stuff. Helmet and boots must fit well, but the rest of the stuff can be a bit lose...its better to have a bit of space when things get hot and sweaty. Dont be shy to get second hand stuff, its cheaper and you dont have to look like a model.....unless of coursesome rich guy sponsers you a bit, but thats not easy to find.Have a good one . Rob
