Default Im officially about to become less squidly

yup... finally about to order a new helmet, a jacket, and gloves (ordering them tomorrow night)

In my defense, Ive been riding for less than a year (and last year, I rode for all of 5 weeks or so before my battery stopped holding a charge, and it was late enough in the season that I didnt see the point in getting a new battery just to throw it on a trickle charger all winter), so for all intents and purposes, Ive been riding for 6 months or so (if you wanna get technical).

Anyway, Im getting an Icon Daytona jacket (blue), Icon Mainframe "Death From Above" helmet, and Icon Merc gloves (also blue), all from newenough.com (saw several recommendations for them when searching for places to buy from)

*edit: curse my grammatically correct ways!!! Its the attack of the zombie apostrophes!!! [8D]

I said a new helmet

but as some might remember, I laid the bike down about a month after I got it... I hit the ground pretty hard (hard enough to get knocked out even with a helmet on), so I'm going to say its compromised... better safe than sorry, right?

Here's my suggestion...get really $h*tfaced tonight and get on your computer and order everything...you'll get all the brand names and most expensive stuff...and then just deal with buyers remorse in the morning !!!

LOL
