Prep

Ok so we looked around a decided on the KLR's. Found two nice ones. Now what?

Well while looking into what we would need to take we have decided to go as light as possible. If we need something more we'll get it on the road. We bought some roding gear and let me tell you that stuff is not cheap. But if you crash it may save your life. While at our local Kawasaki dealer we tried on Tourmaster Transition 2 jackets. I'm used to just wearing my leather jacket and these seemed bulky. But thats all the armor. So since we could try them on we went ahead and picked up the Tourmaster gear. (BTW after riding with it a while I really like it) We bought pants and jackets. Both have a quilted liner and make cold weather comfortable. I have riden several times in 35 degree weather and stayed warm.

My helmet I had. Its a Gmax full face. I like this helmet but a wish it was a modular style. (I wear glasses)
Dad picked up a Vega modular it is very nice too.

I bought some waterproof boots. Not sure about them.

We also got tourmaster or cortech (same company) winter riding gloves.

I sold my other cruiser and ordered some accesories for my KLR. They should be here this week.

I am excited!
