I’ve made the commitment to switch to a motorcycle year round, need some help with gear!?

April 6th, 2010

I’ve made the decision to switch to a bike year round. Seeing as it’s late September, people are already calling me "stupid," and "saying "what a horrible idea," and so on so forth. Well, I’ve sold my old car, and bought a 2003 Kawasaki Ninja, kept in great shape by a friend of mine, with only 4,500 miles. I would really like some advice on some year round gear. I have already bought the airforce jacket, by Rev-It, which came highly rated, via online, and the people at Colemans (of course.) I already shelled out for the spine protector insert, but I’m wondering what I should consider for winter. Pants? What helmets do you suggest? I’m borrowing one from a friend, and its a KBC, but the visor frequently fogs up, which is annoying. I love to ride, and I’m ready to be a serious biker, (even though coming home from work today in the rain scared the living **** outta’ me!) Please help me make some decisions on gear, and quality gear, preferably gear that’s not seasonal, and I can use year round! Also, any tips on weather condition riding, experience, etc. is more than welcome! Thanks in advance!
I guess I should add that I live in Washington D.C so you know what kind of weather I’ll be dealing with. Keep in mind I’m not planning on riding in the snow or ice, (but also, does anybody here ever ride in snow?)
