Welcome to biking !

This depends on your budget and the type of bike you buy I guess.

First recommendation..as your only in farnborough, get yourself dwon to J&S in Newbury as they normally have some bargains kicking about.

Second recommendation...deffo an Arai Helmet...one saved my life...the best IMO.

If your after a budget 2 peice leather racing suit, the Hein Gericke Tribal suit is excellent for £300..its won awards.

Gloves..my last few pairs of alpinestars/Spidis/nankais have been much of a muchness..check stitching quality and protection around key areas.

Boots - cant go wrong with sidis and they have different versions to suit different budgets...good luck..let us know how you get on !!

If your in the market for a 600 monster (cheap insurance and restrictable) give me a shout...my '97 4500 mile one is up for sale very soon..!!

Cheers
Nat
