A lady did the same thing when she pulled out from a side road in front of me without looking ( mouth open - hands in front of face) acceleration out of the situation - not braking saved me.

Thats why i got the removable one's. come spring they're back in the box I guess my winter is no where near as cold as yours though!

I feel like an idiot. All these years i've been getting around in winter thinking "my gloves are doing the best they can" and" its not really that cold"(even though its hard to take helmet off due to numb hands). Enter my new heated hand grips. OMG! They are that hot that without winter gloves...

Bears! Its bad enough on the country roads here with kangaroos but at least if you hit one it doesn't come and eat you for it!

Its grey thereis one that looks pretty much exact the same(same 3 into 1 system) on bikepoint for sale up in brisbane for around 4 grand more. I rode the new z1000 the other day and it didn't put the smile on my face that this bike did.
