My wife has the same one on her bike. She wanted one that was still feminine and we both agreed that was the coolest one around.

Here in socal the cagers don't do so well with the rain. People seem to drive too fast or too slow. I don't mind riding in the rain but it can be a bit scary knowing most people are not looking for motorcycles on the road when it's raining.

-Getting on the bike after a crappy day at work and forgetting all about it -Watching Isle of Man and heading out for a "spirited" ride before the enthusiasm dies down

I don't want to sound like a salesman for the harness I linked to before but it actually has neck support.

- Bee flying into your helmet and landing on your face while riding

You guys are dead on - safety is number 1 when you are riding with a kid. We started slow just going around the neighborhood with frequent stops for a kind of after action review. My daughter had a hard time remembering to hold on so until we found the harness I put her in one of my large...

Same here. I grew up on the back of my dad's bike. Had my first bike when I was about 8 years old. That probably explains why I prefer to be on 2 wheels and don't think it's the least bit crazy to take my kids for rides.

Anybody else out there ride with kids as passengers? I ride with both my 5 year old daughter and my 8 year old stepson. We use this harness this helmet. Honestly I thought more people would think I am crazy for taking kids this age out on a bike but we get nothing but thumbs up from...

I went with rice but I want to make sure to clarify that means Yamaha. I have an infiniti also but I can't stand to be in a cage. Used to have a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge. Ran out of money and time before completing the resto but I did get to drive it a few times and it was magical.

I heard we've had the same message here in Ventura County.

The T-Rex sliders only need a few washers added to them. It's not a huge deal to add 2-3 washers while installing. They are still are great purchase for the price.

On my way to/from work I wear slacks unless I'm expecting rain. Then i wear some textile overpants with knee protection. On the weekends usually just jeans. I feel the most prepared when I have my overpants on but since they are a pain to put on while wearing shoes I don't wear them as much as I...

My wife decided to take up riding this year and she went with a Ninja 250. I wasn't too thrilled with her buying new but that's what she wanted. I rode it for a while before getting the FZ6R and had plenty of fun on it. It's a good bike that has ample power to keep up with traffic but not too...

I was quoted $200-$250. Decided to do it myself. Spent about $100 on a stand, oil/filter, chain lube and some miscellaneous tools. The most satisfying part was not the savings but knowing I did it myself.
