Eagle Leather?

I've been on the hunt for plus sized women's riding gear (specifically pants) and I can't seem to find anything over a size 18. Eagle Leather has larger sizes. Are these good? Are the boots good? I want to be as safe as possible. I'm over 50 and getting back into riding after not riding since the late 90s.

I especially like this:

This too because I live in Alabama:

And I like these leather jackets:

https://eagleleather.com/products/womens-bloom-leather-jacket

Is it worth it to get any of this stuff and it be something I can truly ride safely in? They sell armor on the site, too. I believe all these pieces have pockets for armor.

I'll be riding a neon green 2013 Can-Am Spyder. My aesthetic is very goth. Theme colors I'm aiming for are black, pink, and green. Purple can jump in there, too. I want quality, protective, plus size gear along the lines of leather boots, leather jackets, leather gloves, and jeans/leather pants.

What Gear To Get

I’ve got jeans. I have a pair of Doc Martens combat boots (with pretty floral print!).

Things I know I need:

Helmet

I prefer Shoei. It’s what I had when I rode in the 90s and I loved it! Definitely want one that can sync with my phone and my bestie who put me back on this path.

Riding jacket

I live in Mobile, AL and it is hot as hecc here. Need protection but can’t overheat either. Might also need rain gear but thats a future me problem.

Riding gloves

I’m AuDHD and fussy about gloves. Want something lightweight but also protective.

Riding pants

I’m clueless. I rode in jeans and leather chaps (long since gone). Too hot for leather in the summer and i want something more protective.

Anything else I should look for immediately?

Looking For A Trike As A "Novice" Rider

I had a Honda Shadow 850 when I was stationed in Japan in the late 90s. Sadly went down on it as a novice rider of only a few months and broke my ankle and my command made me sell the bike. I never got another one.

Now my ride-or-die bestie has a Kawasaki Ninja 650 and has been riding for nine months. I would love to ride again, but due to medical issues, I have vertigo and I'm 99% sure I can NOT ride a motorcycle by myself nor even backpack.

I've been looking at trikes and I feel I could ride one because they're stable and I wouldn't have to rely on my own sense of balance to keep a trike in proper alignment. I just have ZERO idea what would be a good starter trike for me. I'd prefer to get a used one but new is a mild consideration.

Is getting a trike an available option for me with vertigo (yes, I can drive a car)? What should I look for in a trike?
