QMoto gear is good, but if your on a budget check out cycle treads they usualy have some good deals.

Hey Bro gud to see more young riders like myself. Are you on holidays yet? I am 16 and live in Torbay and work in Albany.

Im always keen for a ride and my bike should be functional by tommorow.

I'll P.M you and we should go for a ride if your interested

p.s dont be afraid of the older people around here either. They make a lot of noise but the majority are good people who will also help you out

There are some mint roads up north west of albany.
We could go for a pootle this weekend if you'd like.

Also, about the gear, go have a look at cycletreads. They have some pretty cheap stuff that is good, look at the LS2 helmets.
Ask the guys there though, they know their stuff. (Most of the time :D)

Start with first. Once you get the hang of that, move to second and so on, upwards through the gearbox.

(j/k - that subject line has been tempting me for a few days now)
