Personally I have a pair of Olympia expedition pants: https://www.amazon.com/Olympia-Womens-Expedition-Pant-Black/dp/B072F4PPWD

They have panels on the front of the thighs that zip down to reveal mesh lining instead of the Kevlar but still have protection in the knees and hips. They’re great for warm weather.

For my jacket I have a galactic women’s from revit, great mesh panels in the chest for good airflow but sturdy leather in the other areas. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-galactic-womens-jacket?sku_id=868755

Water. Water. Water. Don’t worry about needing to stop for pee breaks, it’s better than the alternative.

Oooh, I just noticed that you have the other bike I looked at when I went shopping for my new ride last year. How do you like the F900R?

Table. My saddle bags are expandable, and I have to expand them a little for this, but it works. I've also strapped this and the chairs to my back seat/top case frame if I just can't spare the room.

Stool. I bought the XL ones first by mistake, and they were too tall for my bags of for the table. Bought the regular ones and those were much better, but a little less stable. Good enough for having to eat outside with no seating provided last spring/summer. If I were looking to relax for a longer time, I'd investigate different chairs.

So I'm a dude, but I apparently have tiny little leprechaun ear canals. It's problematic. (I can't use Air Pods, they don't stay in my ears - that sort of thing).

I tried foam ones but I had the same issue you described. I got some cheap unbranded "Amazon Recommends!" earplugs off Amazon. They're solid. It came with 2 pair, and a little case that goes on your keyring, which is handy. For a while I thought they didn't work well for me - occasionally I'd have one shift around and make this weird squishing noise in one ear and it would start to mess with my balance.

What finally fixed it was when I worked out my own personal weird routine / ritual to get them in correctly. I have to tug my earlobe down with one ear while putting them in with the other hand, while at the same time (and this is critical) opening my mouth and working my lower jaw around in a circle. (Sadly, there's no way for me to properly seat my earplugs without looking like a chewing cow. I try to tell myself it's no different than a pro baseball player adjusting their gloves and whatever before stepping into the batter's box, but...nah.) BUT every time I do that, the plugs seat properly and don't move around. They're soft so they'll compress down and fit in my ears, but they don't hurt and I forget they're in after a minute. They knock down the loudness but I can still hear well enough. (I have a naked bike though so above 45 all I hear is wind anyway, lol.) I've thought about getting custom ear plugs, but ever since I started doing the jaw thing, I don't think I need them anymore.

Congrats, and good luck!

I always use a bonnet like this one (https://www.amazon.com/Stay-On-Satin-Pocket-Bonnet/dp/B077D7DW21) under my helmet (I can get these in the hair section of Walmart for $2 a pop) and it works great for me -- it takes a bit of practice to tie it up in back without leaving any hair out, but it's pretty quick once you get the hang of it and costs way less than the motorcycle-specific products out there,

Well, I was in the army and became a first responder so myself and my boyfriend have seen our fair share of shit. We both know that an accident is all it takes sometimes and that a quick response while waiting for an ambulance can save a life. The med kit comes with a pressure bandage, tourniquet, quick clot, shears, and chest seals. I bought it on Amazon.

This is the link.

I’m with you girl! Know that we are all struggling as beginners. I just got some cones delivered last week and have practiced 3 times already. These were great! Cheap, flexible (I can put all 50 in my mini backpack that I wear as my purse while riding) and if you run them over they just smoosh.

My bike doesn’t have any usable space under the seat so I keep mine in my fanny pack that has an adjustable strap so when I get off the bike I can use it as a cross body. When I’m riding I make sure the bag is on my backside (as opposed to wearing it in the front) so it doesn’t scratch the tank.

I personally think that a jacket is more important to have mesh. It's where I overheat the easiest. Here's the link to the one I purchased. It's from Amazon because I'm on a budget too. It was important to me to have the armor removable, and to be a light color.

I've had this jacket about 8 months and is still in great condition. It just gets comfier the more I wear it.

If they’re still big add these internal lifts which also take up half a size or so. You can also find thicker ones if the boots are still a size too big. Also use thicker socks. Worth noting is a chunky heel doesn’t work well with sportbikes or standards sometimes since the heel can get in the way of footpeg position.

I bought this thigh bag back in March and it's held up quite well. Even been through the wash machine and still shows no wear and tear. Snap closure stays put at over 80mph, fits all the basics and then some, and I don't even notice it's there. Also, easier access than having to put on and take off a backpack.

I wore a backpack one day with all my work materials in it, but because of the pain and fatigue it caused I decided I was never doing that again and bought this tail bag for when I need to pack a little more along with me. The attachment system is convertible so that the thing turns into a backpack for walking around without leaving your stuff behind. No fatigue, don't notice it's there, convenient and convertible carry system.

When I’m just riding around town, I wear a hip/thigh bag. It’s small, but has enough room for my keys, cellphone, eCig, small hair brush, and my gun (for solo rides in unfamiliar areas). Honestly, it’s not super comfortable, but I love the look.

For longer rides or errands, I used to take a cheap backpack. I have a larger bike with saddlebags now.

I just ordered a large sissy bar bag for multi-day trips, but I can’t comment on that as I haven’t received it yet.

I'm a bit of an odd duck out here I suspect because I have a tour bike I ride everywhere. I keep my normal daily purse on me even when I ride. I just keep it in the luggage box behind my seat and swap out my purse for my helmet whenever I get off and go in somewhere. But if I ever need more than that I have a few different options depending on what kind of ride I’m doing. My primary go-to is my camera bag. Both cause it’s my other favorite hobby and I ride my bike to pretty much any trailhead I want to hike at.

I also have a couple of smaller single shoulder sling bags that are very useful and easy to get things in and out of while riding
