I just purchased a "New to Me" 2009 Suzuki M90. I have been off of the larger street bikes for around 20 years. It doesn't seem like it has been that long since I've owned one but when I do the math the numbers don't lie! My wife is looking forward to shopping for gear as well as lots of riding.

I'm a strong believer in full face helmets after surviving and walking away from a crash at 100+ KMPH. I have no doubt that the helmet saved my life. However, I was not wearing adequate gear and as a result missed a good week of work due to the road rash attained after sliding down the highway. We both have good helmets but will be looking for jackets, vests, chaps, boots, and gloves. Is there anything else that anyone can recommend?

We're thinking of heading to "One Stop Biker Shop" on the weekend. Are there any other good places in Edmonton?

Thanks in advance!
