Although I live in the UK, I'm a proud new owner of a 1200GS in Portugal, and I will be using it mainly in the Summer. I don't have any gear yet and I am looking for your advice on a new helmet and jacket. As I'm only using the bike a few weeks a year, I don't plan to buy top end gear, but at the same time, I don't want to overlook safety.
Helmet:
- Below £300
- With sun visor
- Being able to use my prescription glasses occasionally
- Available in a physical shop near London to be able to try it, as my head sits just between M and L.
Jacket:
- Around or below £200
- Good in hot weather but still ok for the occasional cooler, somehow wet days
- Open to a good second hand deal
Cheers,
R.
