A humble welcome from Turkey!

pragmatic · February 23rd, 2012, 11:14 AM

Hello everyone!

I am new to this forum, I hope to acquire a new bike. I was looking around and saw this forum. I read everywhere that 2fiddy is the bike to own as a first bike. In my country there are no restrictions on the first bike, but I want to live long enough to really enjoy riding.

On that note, I want to know what would be the best gear the money can buy in term of protection. I want something that I can wear on top of a suit, without the suit looking like it came out of a dog's mouth if such a thing is possible... I would prefer a 2pc suit to a 1 pc suit. I do have worries that it might offer less protection than 1pc but I hope that producers figured something out for that by now.

Best regards,

Pragmatic from Turkey

Welcome Aga!

Not sure of your choices of gear with your suit requirement. Good luck & ride safe!

Aga,
Welcome to the forum!

250 cc motrocycles are great bkes to learn on. The Ninja 250 performs well enough to still be a lot of fun even for every experienced riders.

I used to commute to work on my motorcycle often and in colder weather, I used a snowmobile one-piece coverall suit over my work clothes , which were uniforms and casual business attire. I agree with Trixter about folding your suit jacket and carrying it with you rather trying to wear it underneath safety gear. Another option is to leave some suits and shirts at work and change into them after riding in to work.

Good luck in your search for a motorcycle, I hope you find what you want. Your English is excellent.
best wishes, Greenaero

csmith12, thank you for your wishes.

trixter, thank you for the video, I actually do that when I am travelling

cuz, snake, kjohnson21 & nickjpass, thank you for the warm welcome.

greenaero, I hope to keep the bike couple of years since I am buying new, thus it is great to hear that I will continue to enjoy it as I develop my skills. Leaving some suits and shirts at work and change into them after riding in to work sounds good. The problem is that I usually go to clients, so I can't really ask them for a place to put my suits. Thank you for the wishes and compliments.

Pragmatic,
It sounds like you need a coverall suit and some luggage to carrry your suit jacket and other work items. Good luck and stay safe.
