Cost of beginner motorcycle gear?
 

I'm a 15 year old girl and I want to buy gear over the break. I'm thinking about getting my M1 in March and then doing the safety course... I'm going to need the gear for the course so I was wondering what the cost is going to be for decent gear like helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, boots.

Well, I'm an old man, been riding for 48 years so, all the "newest thing" just out this year, does nothing for me. I like Joe Rocket Gear, and try to get, last years stuff when I buy, cheaper, "Close Out", look at place's like JP Cycle, and look in back of bike Rags, then go to there site and shop.

I am a bit confuse about what should i choose between Shimano 105 and Ultegra. I read about both at https://biketestreviews.com/shimano-105-vs-ultegra/.
