Bike kit for the Mrs....
Morning all
I'm after some advice on buying kit for the girlfriend who will have the pleasure (?!) of sitting on the back of the bike from Sydney - London in the not too distant future.
I've got the BMW Rallye 2 Pro suit, Sidi courier boots & Arai Tour X3, but probably want to go a little cheaper for her as will get less regular use than mine before/after the trip (and dont want to be matching!).
Any suggestions on what to get?? Its going to be hot the majority of the time, although want to be able to use it in the UK too once we get there. Its more important though to be better in the heat than the cold. Maybe the Rev'it kit?
Also, she doesn't want to look too stupid and wants something that looks vaguely feminine, although it doesnt need to be pink!!
Any thoughts on helmet? I do like being able to put the goggles on the Tour X, so maybe the same, or Shoei's version?
With the boots, I went for the Sidi Couriers as has a lot of protection from panniers etc but a little more practical than Moto X boots. Thinking for her though something a little shorter and more comfortable? Is protection as important for the pillion's boots, bearing in mind they wont be the one putting their feet down etc?
Any other suggestions or thoughts??
Thanks in advance
