nekkid
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

lol... would be fun in a remote town full of amazonian women 
I just wear whatever jacket is around , but definitely want to invest in some proper gear ... I've had to xray too many bikers to not be conscious about it anymore

I am in leather 99% of the time, but I just bought a Tour Master Flex jacket for those 100+ degree days that make hide unbearable.

Leather jacket and pants below 10C (down to 0C), above that, jeans and leather jacket and when it gets really hot (> 25C) squid wear (shorts and T-shirt)

Whatever it is, it should be strong enough to withstand a high speed spill without the pavement breaking through!
When I was at Norton, I relied on Barbour waxed cotton outfits.

I've heard the barbour's are good. The new belstaff's even have plastic armor in elbows and shoulders, but I don't know if it's any better or worse lol.
