Jacket and pants for the smaller women?

[Mom]

Hi, I am new to riding. At the moment I am looking for gear in a size 12 - 14 for someone of 5'2. Where is the best place to buy gear and what type? I have xs gloves which still have room at the end.

I am also on the look out for a learners motorbike that will accommodate my size frame.

TIA

Hi there

I would recommend trademe if second hand is ok with you. Just check measurements before you commit as bike gear sizing has no rhyme or reason between brands.

I'm 5"2.5 (lol) I would recommend a Yamaha Scorpio as a good learner bike, particularly for a small statured person, they are light and i got mine lowered through the front forks by my friendly motorbike shop (for free). It was perfect for me anyways. Good luck

Listen to this woman, she is a little dot of a gal, who has more fabulous gear than any biker really needs, all of it new and obtained really cheaply. In fact one might go as far as to say she is tin aresed
