Check Out My Newbie Gear So Far
My first bike, completely new to motorcycling... here is what I bought so far
Bike = 2007 1200 Nightster bought last sunday
Helmet = Harley
Jacket = Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0 (this is the exact one)
I have a pair of nice mountain biking gloves I was going to use.
Might buy a set of HD Boots or just use my old Doc Martens
Also, still need to buy some goggles... Hitting the harley shop after work tonight.
What do you think? Will the blue jacket clash too much with the orange in the bike? (I know in reality it doesnt matter much...)
Anything else im missing?

Nice bike. I've never used HD boots, and almost always were Doc Marten boots or some Army Surplus footwear. You shouldn't have any trouble.
I can't match socks, so you're on your own with the colors.
Shiny side up!

I really like those nightsters, trying to talk my wife into one so I can ride it. Congrats andgood luck, you have a great bike. As far as what you wear, that is a personal deal. To me- bike is excellent, the helmet is fine, the jacket....not so much. It's pretty and all but I like a black jacket. Now go get yourself some shades and fingerless (black) gloves andyou're ready!

Wearing gear does not make you a newbie. With that said, wearing a blue jacket like that on your Nightster may not get you any ladies!
