I am telling everyone just that. If I would have engaged the rear break it would have pulled me up. It is the first time I have encountered gravel though. Luckily I was considering a new paint job anyway. I think I will get the steering checked out and if everything is good, then i will just...

I was leaving work and turned by Memorial Stadium here in Lincoln. I didn't notice some gravel in the road during my turn until it was too late! I kinda panicked and did the exact opposite of what I was supposed to do; I put on the break during the turn :( My bike slid for about 25 feet or so...

I have been really effen busy. But, I haven't ridden my cage for at least a week. All I have been doing is riding my Sixxy because my bicycle is in the shop. Ride two went really well. I was a little nervous because it was the first time on a very busy street. 5 lanes of traffic, sometimes 6...

I told my instructor about my hand going numb. He said that I need to engage my abs more to maintain great posture. What is happening is that my upper body is getting lazy and my upper body weight is being held up by my arms which puts pressure on my wrist joints. The solution, as my MSF...

AWESOME! Totally, effen, AWESOME! As many of you know, my first ride was postponed for a few days because I was hit by an SUV on my bicycle this past Monday. I got a chance to take it around the neighborhood tonight. Well, that is what I planned, just around the neighborhood. An hour later I...

I went to the my city ordinance website; I stand corrected: 010 Traffic Laws Applied to Persons Riding Bicycles. Every person operating a bicycle upon a roadway shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties applicable to th e driver of a vehicle under Title 10...

You are correct: a bicycle is not the same as a motorcycle or other vehicle. A bicycle is essentially a pedestrian with the right to ride in the street. I think people or mixed up a bit. She hit me head on. I was heading east bound, she was heading west bound. A vehicle was in front of me and...

My guess is that she assumed I wasn't there. I was behind a big truck and I couldn't see her until she used her SUV to destroy my bike. She didn't even slam on the brakes until she hit me. I was going, probably 2mph and she was going at least 12mph. If my shoulder is good to go then I will be...

Yes, a police officer came by and filled out an accident report but he was unable to give a citation because of insufficient evidence that either one of us committed a violation. I am not sure exactly what to do. I called a lawyer this morning and he told me the first steps I need to take. I...

Well, I probably won't be riding my motorcycle for a couple weeks now :( I got hit by an SUV while I was riding my bicycle. She bent my front tire into a U-shape and turned the front forks. I have a grade 2 strain of my MCL on my left leg and I may have retorn a ligament in my shoulder that...

Almost got a perfect score on the riding portion! :BLAA: The only thing I missed is during the 135 degree turn I decelerated a bit. But I didn't cross the lines on the 20x50 box with the double u-turns and the swerve was easy as pie. I struggled with the quick stop during my practices but...

I have been talking about it for a month. "The way this Spring is going, I am going to take my MSF course in May," I told people. Well, We started at 7:50am this morning, and guess what...IT WAS SNOWING! Okay, flurries mixed with rain. But seriously, there were 12 of us and I am pretty sure...

I am taking my MSF course this weekend and I have been talking about it. So far, only my ex-girlfriend has been really supportive, aside from my mom and dad. At work, one chick said, "I don't want to see you in the newspaper obituaries." I said, "I don't want to see you there either." If for...

Yeah, I saw I could get a solid color. However, I wanted various colors and I preferred something bright because I want the cages to see me out there. I wanted a helmet that matched my bike, my white and black leathers, and that could be seen easily by cage drivers. I think I blended all three...

As promised, here are some photos of my Aria Signet-Q

A member here by the name of dev_usc sells headlight kits. You can PM him to get info. It is $325 for front blinkers, headlight, fairings, tach mount, headlight mount and all the nuts, bolts, washers and screws you need. It comes with mirrors too, but IMO, the mirrors a not very good. You...

If you were near Nebraska, I bet my dad would buy that pretty quick.

Thanks for the guidance. I am not sure what I will do. I still need to go to the doctor because I probably tore some ligaments in my index finger on my right hand. I am holding off until after my motorcycle training course, which is this weekend! Finally! :rockon: The previous owner...

After I learn to ride the thing, the next mod I anticipate doing is FZ1 handle bars. The numbnuts who owned it before me scratched the triple tree all to hell. So, it doesn' look too good. BUT, that damn pointing edge is gone! :thumbup: and I can actually reach the ignition without dislocating...

We didn't need to run to Ace Hardware. We put on extension in a place that we weren't suppose to. So, we had some backpedaling to do (took 5 extra mins). My friend broke a piece of the headlight! :spank: But we figured out how to make it work. It doesn't look the prettiest on the inside, but...
