After the streak of sunny weather out here I went about two weeks using the bike as my one form of transportation, so when the rain hit again it took me a while to get used to the car. I went to turn left out of my neighborhood, gauged the distance to the oncoming car, knew it was good, then...

I've almost had my ears blown out on numerous occasions by big ol' Harleys in the parking lot outside the store I work at. I also have yet to hear a story from one of my customers regarding getting pulled over for their exhaust. For the most part I think it's almost considered as a secondary...

That definitely makes me want to take one for a test ride... Although I'm nervous that I'll like it too much- I only just got my fizzer a few weeks ago! I need this bike to last me for a while. I remember when I first saw a 750 (first time truly noticing a gixxer of any kind actually). I...

I won't be able to make it to the ride tomorrow morning- work this weekend was miserable and I'm absolutely exhausted... Have fun out there!

That seat looks great! (so does the whole bike, for that matter!) I'm strongly considering shelling out the money for one as well once I actually get a bit extra. Did you get gel padding for the front seat or leave it standard?

Would anyone be interested in buying a DVD of information on good riding destinations/routes? (NOTE: these don't exist yet- I'm trying to gauge the level of interest to see if it would be worth compiling). The DVD would include video and stills from the route including highlights, pics/videos...

It would be nice if everyone stayed away from the topic of aesthetics... Each individual has their own view of what looks good and what doesn't, hence the plentiful amount of styles and aftermarket parts available. Regarding the actual topic- I agree. I was considering the "R" for a few...

Finally checked out that link of yours Vegas- never heard of that stuff before, but after only a minute on the site, I'm sold! Now all I need is the money to get it all... Thanks for that link!

Oh wow... Now that is embarrassing.

Leather jackets are only hot when you're moving if they don't have any vents. There are quite a few leather jackets out there with good venting, one of my favorites being the First Gear Scout jacket. Any other more racing styled First Gear jackets would be worth looking at as well (try to stay...

I work in a store that sells gear and get that question a lot. Your best bet would be to go for a textile jacket that has a lot of vents and a removable thinsulate (or just plain insulated) liner. This would allow you to be warm on your way there, and, with the liner removed and vents open...

I'm a 19 year old girl, fresh out of high school, but people are constantly mistaking me for being 23 or 24. Right now, I like it since all of my friends are around that age. Why? Because I'm tired of most girls my age. Truly. Gossip, boy bands, and soap opera quality drama give me a...

I almost got hit by a car on my way home from work today just around the corner from my house simply because the driver failed to notice my bright red bike. Working in a store that sells riding gear has put me in contact with a lot of people who have stories of close friends involved in fatal...

I don't like to goo super fast- a little bit of speed is fun, but too much is a tad more risk than I am willing to take. And yourself?

Well, it's not Snell, but Shark makes the Evoline helmet- it's a full modular that converts completely to a 3/4 (the chinbar can go all the way to the back of the helmet while the visor is still usable) and it technically has four safety ratings- DOT and ECE when closed, as well as separate DOT...

I have Mondays and Fridays off, and I'm always game for a ride! If you'd like to meet up, let me know.

Same here. My first piano was a Yamaha- loved that little thing. It took a while for me to get used to the idea of them making anything aside from musical instruments, although at this point, I must say that the sound of my FZ6 revving high while zooming down the on-ramp is music to my ears! :)

When I was trying to sell my first bike on Craigslist I got an email response from someone named Albert- here's a copy of the two messages I received before I said face-to-face and cash only (to which he never responded, funnily enough): 1st- "Hello I saw your advert craigslist but not sure...

Absolutely brilliant! Definitely could put this to some good use :thumbup:

University Place right in Tacoma. If anyone works weekends like I do and wants to go for a ride sometime during the week, hit me up!
