And the national MSF site:

And here's the Aerostich website (they make some of the best riding gear available plus a whole lot of other great odds and endt to make motorcycling safer and more enjoyable):

I used to only ride a motorcycle and have logged well over 100k miles over the years.
Now I commute sometimes and ride on tours when I can.
ALWAYS wear your gear and ALWAYS buy the best gear you can afford.
If it's too hot to wear a helmet, jacket and boots, it's too hot to ride.
And don't be a douchebag- be responsible.
It only takes one bad time on the bike to change the course of your life.
A human being can die from a standing fall- imagine what a fall on a moving object can do to you.
Be safe and have fun.
