I live in AZ. It gets up to 120 degrees F here in the summer.
Up until yesterday, I've been wearing this since my wife gave it to me for father's day...
Helmets and gloves for me.
I currently have 2 helmets and am looking for #3.
I have 3 pairs of gloves only because the first pair died of overuse. The 3rd pair is on its way out too.
I have two jackets though...one for winter and one for the rest of the year. And I have a pair of riding...
Alright...I'll concede Pantera as well. And a few select Metallica albums...Kill Em' All, Ride The Lightning, ...And Justice For All...I'd say Master Of Puppets too, but then I get sad about Cliff Burton. Not that Newstead wasn't friggin AWESOME, but...CLIFF. :(
Anyways...I like a lot of...
It depends on why I'm riding. If I want to be aggressive, then probably some Five Finger Death Punch or Avenged Sevenfold or Dream Theater or Breaking Benjamin.
For just cruising, Joe Satriani (except Surfing With The Alien...THAT goes up above with the aggressive), Rush, Roger Clyne And The...
Yeah...that bike is gonna need work if its been sitting that long. Mine was high miles when I got it (38k), but I only paid $2450. And it ran.
On that note...Hey there fellow valley of the sunners...We need to ride!!! I'm gonna post something in the next few weeks I think.Possibly after the...
I bought my '05 blue ST for $2450 with 38,000 miles on it. I've probably put another $1500-$2000 into it to get it where I want it. It runs beautifully now and is starting to get that street custom look even. At this point there are really only two more major things I'd like to do and they could...
I have some friends here that own a local shop (The Helmet Center: Down For Maintenance). They price match, so I found that Chaparral Motorsports - Motorcycle Parts and Motorcycle Gear had the best price I could find on Michelin PR2's. I asked my buddy and he was able to meet the price locally...
I don't drop below 2nd for anything under 9mph per my speedo. Usually if I'm down shifting, I'll drop down to 3rd and feather the clutch for engine breaking at around 40mph and then once its rev'd down, I'll do the same for 2nd. Then I coast to about 15mph and decide if I will need to stop...
I'm actually using a BikeMaster steel bar...unthreaded, but very comfortable.
Good picture is available here...

Repeat after me. RUBBER SIDE DOWN. SHINIY SIDE UP.
But on the flip side...YAY! YOU SURVIVED!!!! (I'm a half full kinda guy when it comes to this kinda stuff)
Sorry you went down. Glad yer ok. Heal up. Enjoy the pain meds.
This my family...wife Michelle, youngest daughter Kyla...
And this is my wife and I at The House Of Blues in Las Vegas for A Peacemakers show last month (Sept. 2012).
And lastly a shot of just me taken by the wife. I think we were at The Dubliner which is an Irish bar here in town. Some...
My issue is the single headlight. I always loved the dual headlight look. The under seat exhaust is nice too, but I really like the look of dual head lights. :(
When switching lanes, my process is this...
I check my mirrors.
I then turn my head and look in the direction I plan on moving.
While looking in that direction and If possible, I try to make eye contact with the person behind me in the lane I want to move to .
After that I look...
