BTW, what kind of jacket/pants you would suggest? Do they come with armor or need to buy that separately.

Thanks.
I'll let someone else make jacket and helmet recommendations. For legs I use these:

They don't offer the same protection that full pants do but I find I'm much more willing to wear these then pants. The fit well under long pants and nobody ever notices them like that. When I wear shorts, I get looks like, "what's wrong with that guys legs" or maybe "Hey mister, I saw Mad max go that way"!

For me, I think they would save my legs from a stupid fall at 30 MPH or less. Over that speed, THEY are probably wearing ME for protection!
Spiffy leg protection you got there. Can't knock the price either.
