I spoke to a good friend who rides about his tail gating but that is about it. Never to anyone I didn't know very well.

I just ride'm like they are meant to be ridden. The only vehicle I followed the break in was on my M3 since the dealer actually checked during the goofie break in BS. They actually told me when I went over X rpm when I picked up the car.

I wear perforated leather when on the highways even when it is hot out (90+ with humidity). But around town (35 - 40mph speed limits) I will wear a mesh jacket. I come from the sweat than bleed group as well. I will also were Bohns armor, armor over pants even around town. If you can...

I get just about 50 on my CBR1000. Then again I'm old and slow LOL :o

I stay away from the really cheap stuff. With that being said there are only a few helmets makes that fit me right. Aria is one of them and so far my Vector 2 is holding up well.

Oh, and get one of these tank pads or any one really. These will help keep you're legs in place. I've got these Home page

You can probably relieve some of the strain by making a few slight adjustments to your riding position. Try the following... > Make sure you ride with the balls of you're feet on the rear sets (just behind the toes) > Make sure you raise you're heels so that you're knees are up and...

Replace the helmet irrespective of any real evidence of it hitting the ground. It is not worth taking a chance and most all insurance companies will agree with you.

That makes two of us. WOOT!

I don't want to hijack this thread so I will send you a PM. ;)

2 seasons and over 13k as of right now.

Really? Interesting, maybe it is a Canada only right now. I talked to my dealer often about new bikes and they said not yet. But still good to know. :)

Nice ride like the colors too! 750 or middle weight bikes I think are the best as well. The right 600ss can be a lot of fun on the street (GSXR or CBR), so arn't that great for street riding. Would have got the GSXR750 but the dealer wouldn't deal, so I got the CBR1000 for 1k less than what...

I don't think the MT-07 will make it here from Europe any time soon. Unless the MT-09 (FZ09) sells well here, naked bikes don't sell in the US market for some reason, I don't think Yamaha will bring it over.

82 miles round trip 90% is on the highway. I could take back roads but would take for ever.
