I am looking at the whole grocery store thing as a good way to lose weight. I buy less so I cary less. I buy fresh since I go so often= less cans, less frozen. I am taking a really long time to heal from this wreck and I know it is because I am so out of shape and overweight. So the frequent...

Yea, that is an idea. I could take my freediving gear I guess. Wetsuit,fins,mask,socks,towel,snorkel and the fins would just stick out of the pack. I have to say I would be nervous riding with a big pack like that. I would be endangering other people lives however if I took a tank with me...

I was told it would cost about $1000 in labor and probably $ 500 for the engine but I recently decided to make a career change and plan to go back to school. So I was out of work for 3 months looking for a job that would pay well and let me go to school. I could not find one. However, I went...

Actually no. I hiked over 600 miles of the Appalachian train back in 95' so I know a lot about layering. My only thoughts on that is having lots of different clothes with you. I need to really look into tank bags but I hat the one that sits on the gas tank. And talk about rambling- check...

I lived in New Orleans for about 5+ years and rode my bicycle there almost exclusively. I rode this winter in the freezing cold and I need to go get one of those free Beull Neck gaiters. I just hope that my cycling days in wet weather do not reflect my motorcycling but then again mountain bike...

I am just wondering. I am supposed to get my bike bike in two weeks and my 97' Chevy S10 just threw a rod yesterday. Now my bike will be my only means of transportation. I still have a lot to learn as a motorcyclist and I guess I had better go out and get some good rain gear. I have only...

I thought I was the only one. I thought it was just something that I had to get used to. I have even sorta kinda mastered letting the front brake out a little while giving it some throttle on small hills. So yeah, I hear ya. Right foot down then I usually stand up and shuffle my feet a bit and...

Sorry about your english muffin Hellgate. I have just been laid up for the past month waiting on my bike to be fixed and to be able to go back to work and I am chomping at the bit to get out and ride. I had seen that others had taken some spills as well while I was away and it looks like new...

Some graphic photos of skin damage. Below the break. As in right now. Make sure that you save some money and get some good gear and ALWAYS WEAR IT!!! This happened on a ride that was only going to be about a mile. I didn't wear my riding shoes or pants. I...

I love my blue 07. Check out how awesome it is. This is even better. Ohh Ohh... this one! I can't wait!!!! I want it back now!!!!!!:banghead:

Re: Totaled :mad: *******WARNING******** Please Please Tell Me Your Story!! I am not sure what your situation is but do not let yourself get ripped off! I might be telling you something you already know but it will not hurt for you to read this if not and if it applies to your...

Re: Top speed? I have hit 134 top speed but I just came up on some cars way too fast and had to slow down. Pretty scary.

Thanks to all of you from your support and kind words. I think that I am really lucky to have found this forum where everyone is kind and even though many of you are thinking it no one is sitting here calling me a stupid arse and all that. I definitely need to spend some time working on my...

I had full coverage as it was financed so I will get whatever the current market value is in my region based on some formulas- that is what the Geico guy said. I payed $ 7663.00/ £ 3824.24 / € 4900.65. I am guessing that it is worth about $5800 if in mint condition. So I figure I would get maybe...

I have logged about 1800+ miles so add me to the statistic. I broke a few rules of my own.: 1.) I was wearing slacks instead of jeans ( which did fine when I laid it down a few weeks ago but it was also wet. 2.) I wasn't wearing gloves but I got lucky just a few scrapes on my hand...

Oh there is no doubt in my mind that the brief time I looked away was what did me in. Also, a lot of people told me the most important thing for me while learning to ride would be learning to stop. I tried a lot of parking lot exercises but as far as panic it is hard to recreate. It is just odd...

Ok I know this sounds crazy but in the shock setting poll I posted someone said something about setting the shock to 7 because it would pull a wheelie better. I saw that a lot of people are talking about ride hight and what not. I ended up changing my setting to 5 because I am about...

I have decided to set mine on 4 for now and see how it does and then maybe move it up to 5. After wrecking it I am just a little concerned about jumping up to 5.

This is a general question for everyday solo riding. I know people change it for for two up but I am interested in just you and your bike ( plus accessories ). Also include your weight and height please and feel free to explain why you have it set to said number. Thanks, J.

What is it and where is it?
