Bro... if it'll help get you geared up, I've got a 10% off coupon from Motorcycle Superstore for ya...I need to get gear. I am a new rider go eight miles to work and eight back backroads. Just a helmet although I did order a new pair of gloves. I ride within my means but can't control what others do. Thankfully so far in the three weeks I've been riding I have been relatively lucky.
PM me, if you can use it...
