Hey everyone my name is Jason and I am 17 years old. Just graduated and will be attending Gonzaga University!
I have worked two jobs since I turned 16 and just as soon as the money gets in your account its gone...anyways
I am a new member and I will be in the Seattle, WA and Spokane area. Now to get down to business, of course I
will take the MSF course. I am interested in purchasing my first bike either an older gen. ninja or a used 08. Most
likely this will take place next winter so the demand of the 08's are met and or not as high. So that will be late 2009
to early 2010. If any of you know any ninja 250r's for sale in my area feel free to toss me a bone. Safety is my most
important priority and most likely my gear will cost as much as my bike!

Please rate and or suggest other options for the gear I have listed below

1. Riding Suit - Aerostich Roadcrafter 1 - piece ($797.00)
2. Helmet - Shoei TZ-R Lance ($375.95) or Shoei RF-1000 Caster ($427.95)
3. Boots - Sidi B-2's ($235.00) or Sidi Vertigo's ($300.00)
4. Gloves - HELD Nero's ($159.95)
5. Knee Sliders - Klucky Pucks ($39.95)
6. Back Protector - Knox Contour ($224.95)

Grand Total: Low End = $1832.80 High End = $1949.80

Does anyone have any experience with either of the helmets or the boots? Thank you for all your time now I'll shut up

 

Welcome to KF!

I use the verigo corsa airs with good results. You gearing up to hit up the Kent track up there or Portland International on the 250?

Welcome Jason, now are you sure that's the bike you want? Why not look at the KLX 250S Dual; Sport, you know you want the best of both worlds right? And after all living in Washington State affords you the best ridding opportunities in the country. Come on do it. Ok well whatever you decide is ok too.[8D]

 

and jason don't pay attetion to him ^^^^^^ the coffee wears off later on and he'll try to get you to buy the best kawi around like this one.

 

Where's the love Hoedogg?[8D] You know you want a KLX, so why fight it?

 

my grand pappy used to say wan't in one hand and **** in the other and see which one fills up fasterwe need to start the hoedogg charity fund for the KLX.

 

Haha thanks for all the welcomes everyone. If I can pull off the KLX250 as an everday commuter then alright but otherwise it is the ninja for me. But on a more serious note does anyone have any experience with the Aerostich Roadcrafter Riding Suits?
