Motorcycle rider protection and stuff

Thank you all! I am really happy to see such informative details and people speaking with lots of experience both technically and with wisdom.

I have to read it over more but I am definitely going full face, jacket with armor on all the key points and also going to look at armored jeans or pants and proper boots. Now I just have regular heavy jeans and leather boots but it sounds like that wont do very well at all.

So I just made it home with my first bike since I was 16 years old. Back then I had a honda 185 twinstar. Wow, I thought it was cool as hell but it wouldn't go over 88mph ever.

Last bike I rode last year was an R1200C but only on back gravel roads.

And here is my machine. It is a year 2000 bandit 1200 with 16k on the clock. Wow I feel like a kid. Cant wait to get it off the truck and tool down the gravel road.
