So this thread has given me a question...
Here's my situation: I just bought my bike. I have a helmet and boots for riding. But then due to a miss-communication with my bank, I lost some of my available credit and this wreaked all sorts of havoc with my cash flow (I'm getting it resolved, it just takes time). So I haven't had the funds available to get the gloves, pants, and a jacket for riding yet...
Since I couldn't get that gear, I haven't even picked up my bike yet. It's been at the dealers, fully paid for, for a week and a half now. I'm getting impatient though, so I was planning on buying the pants and gloves and using a motorcycle style (though not motorcycle specific) leather jacket I already have. Is this really unwise of me? Should I absolutely wait until I have a specific riding jacket as well?
BTW: Just completed the motorcycle course this past Sunday...
