^ Seconded. These are very wise words from someone who clearly has a real aptitude for motorcycle riding. (She's also my girlfriend). Now you have to go over the the introduce yourself thread (and maybe request the "Not A Dude" title)
Asianthology: budget the gear into the cost of starting to ride. Start buying gear now in the off-season when it's cheap (especially the warm-weather gear on closeout). Pick up used gear from online ads or open-box returns (but NEVER buy a used helmet!).
If you can't afford full gear with the bike, then you can't afford to ride.
