Not sure the name of the gloves but for 35 bucks they held up pretty damn well, still wearing them after a wreck. Buy real gloves man, you will be a very sad panda if you wreck without them. The scars on my wrists where the button snapped off of my coat exposing flesh, enough said? Also, if...

Went down to the garage today to get a feel for what I was going to have to replace for me to ride it. Besides the rather disturbing cosmetic damage the right foot peg broke off, handle bars are bent along with the break/clutch levers. Engine covers are all torn up but again, cosmetic. The dent...

I would really like to thank all of you for helping me determine what caused the incident. I may not of been able to keep an open mind to riding again not knowing what happened and the fact that it was simply my fault. For some reason knowing it was something I did wrong, it makes me feel at...

Hey, thanks for the comments, even the less supportive ones. As I was typing the original post the accident had just recently happened. All I knew at the time was the x-ray showed my fibula in two pieces, not a weight baring bone so not to big of a deal. It just hurt in spite of what I was being...

Just brought a tear to my eye, still in recovery from my last battle with this asphalt bastard. As I lay here watching the sun rise, then set...listening to my two roommates enjoy the great riding weather, riding non stop. All the while, I lay here in my room eating pain pills and fast food...

Unbreak my leg so I can go? Pretty please? :D Maybe next time as I am just outside of Seattle. Post your next trip as my leg might be healed by then! (also a free bump) :)

I just did my first 4,000 mile round trip to San Fransisco to visit some friends. All I can say is my ass hurt quite badly. Stretching while riding felt uncomfortable the first time I did it. I hadn't thought of it till some guys on harleys past me doing 90+ with their legs stretch out on each...

Always, ALWAYS, low ball a dealership for they are high balling you from the start. I got my 07 out the door for exactly 6k it had just under 300 miles on it. Got him to pull 15% off of everything I purchased in the store which was a lot as I bought all of my gear through him as well. In the...

The first video in this post the guy has some gear on under his pants, and it looks like he has something under his shirt as well. The second guy is just insane or his skill has gone to his head a bit much. Road rash hurts, I was fully geared when I ate it and I still fuct myself up more then...

Must say that its certainly possible, I wont be playing in 1st gear once I am able to ride again which every day I lay here in bed just eats at me, I want to be out riding so bad. 4k miles after owning it a mere 3 weeks... Obsessed isn't even enough, I would almost settle for Addicted but still...

Best thing to do is just get back on it and take it slow, not that I have experience with this or anything... I just can't wait to get back on the bike again. Screwed my summer up pretty bad so I envy your sore wrist, lol. I didn't have sliders on mine either, regret it but a lesson learned...

Glad to hear no broken bones, just wrecked mine, well, myself along with it. Sadly I don't see me being able to ride for atleast a few months. Glad I had coverage on my bike and not just liability, I was going under 25 mph yet it managed to grind down the stock peg till it broke off. Waiting to...

Thanks for the responses, actually helps to talk about it and so far I agree with all that has been said. Though the stunt wasn't intentional I did indeed end up on one wheel so I guess it is still stunting :) As for pictures I can see if my buddy will take some and ill upload them...

Could use a little more comforting haha, laying here in bed regretting even going riding that morning... Ive dealt with my share of pain, herniated disces, chronic pain, permanent siatic nerve damage... no need to go on as you get the point. My god this break is bad though! My left legs screwed...

About three days ago now, I had just got back from an amazing trip to Cali, Frisco to be exact. Took the 5 from Seattle, went over grants pass, through the redwood highway onto the 101... man it was great! I was new on the bike no longer, my confidence was boasting having put on 4k miles without...
