most forward part will minimize the possibility of it impeding position of your leg. i have a pic of rob's but i can't find the cord to load it onto my computer.

Yep. Might not be a bad idea to hang on to at least the helmet though...you know, just in case. Unless money is no object for you, and you can buy "spares". I still need to get a spare helmet in a slightly bigger size (mine is an XS, Rob wears an XL...we'd like to have a medium kicking...

My Ninja250 was teh Scootypuff (after an episode of Futurama). The SV is the SV and the FZ is the FZ. Neither have names....they are both blue, so that doesn't work either. My car (RIP) was "little blue" or the Mazda, the Jeep is the Jeep (old on was the "Heap"), and the GMC Sonoma is the...

Wow, that's a pain. Why not get a cheap little tank bag to save the frustration? Plus they are super handy. Cortech Micro Motorcycle Tank Bag

This is so incredibly true. Before my daughter arrived, I could do a 300-400 mile day no problem. After pregnancy, I was exhausted after 50 miles without a break. A whole day trip was 150. I did P90x this winter to get myself back in shape for life in general, and after putting 1000 miles on...

I was on the interstate. Speed limit 65. Even with my seatbelt on, I was very lucky. :rockon:

I am freaked out by the idea of hitting a deer. My parents were in a pretty bad wreck when I was about 13 where they hit the car in front of them who had just hit a deer. She ended up with a deer in her lap, int he hospital for months, and was cut out of the car. I'm glad I didn't hit it. My...

What a whirlwind of adventure my past couple weeks have been - offered a promotion at an old job, offered (and accepted) a better, new job, and then to top it all off, I rolled my car Thursday night. Link to the thread on my local forum....pardon the ball-busting, lol. Didn't hit a deer last...

+1 on the cortech saddlebags. Love mine! Welcome to the forum.

It depends. Are you looking at the nice Icons, or the $30 Icons? Anything by them that is inexpensive is crap. Rob crashed in a KBC. Got it cause it was a smoking deal, and we have a good friend who races in one. He rode away from this crash (with a broken collarbone), and didn't even...

Thanks...I forgot to link it for those who might not know. As for the discount...har har. ;)

Beautiful paint job!

That's very similar to the pay cut I took. Except not only was I making crap, I was only working 8-20 hours a week. I just got promoted a couple weeks ago and the dollar amount went up a bit, but still only up to 32 hours/week. When you have to be available for everything, you have to pay for...

I know I have been away for a while and just starting to get back in the thick of things here, but some of you may remember/know that I have been severely underemployed for the past two years. I was offered the choice of going to school on my own dime for a degree I didn't want, or resigning...

I have grappled with this decision for the past couple years, and it always comes down to economics. My bike gets 2x the gas mileage as my car. I owe nothing on it, and it is cheap to insure (so cheap in fact that my gas savings this year alone have already paid for half the insurance). After...
