Always helmet, obviously.
Spool Cordura jacket with kevlar armour.
Dririder Cordura pants with kevlar armour.
Both of these have winter lining, which is out at the moment.
Gloves not so great, just summer weight, which is okay at the moment, but I will need some good ones for winter as it gets real cold in Upper Hutt.
As for boots, I had some jodphur style boots with wrap-around straps and buckles hand-made by Last Footwear Company. Cost about $450, but fit like a glove.
When I have some buck though, I would prefer some leathers. And a decent helmet. I have a brand new Cyber helmet they gave me with my bike. It's okay, but I hope I don't have to rely on it.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
