Been doing it for years as well (although I am not as seasoned as some here). I keep the bike in an 8x12 tool shed for the winter and it is raised so i just walk it up the ramp, put in on the kickstand, swing it around on the stand and put it up on the centre stand for the winter...I have heard...

Shoei makes a great helmet, had an RF-1000. I was debating on dropping the coin on an Arai and read somewhere that most people fit either Arai OR Shoei. When Royal started carrying the new vector-2 I tried on my size and instantly knew what they were talking about. You can't go wrong...

Hey I am not far from Barrie in fact I work there, but I guess I am the weirdo on the forum, I like the mirrors and I actually a nice steady rain when I have my gear on; it seems somewhat cleansing and relaxing as long as I am not on the hunt for twisties. But hail I am not a fan of. And Gil...

I have tried numerous times with different buds. I have found (next to custom molded In-ears) that the MEelectronics M6 with Comply foam earbuds offer the best seal and and comfort. BUT any time I start moving the wind noise just kills the bass. Honestly, Deep Purple without the bass??? So I...

I had a similar problem with the last bike (KLR650), I didn't like taking it to work because it was a pavement run (I didn't want to arrive all muddy and such) and on weekends I have a very needy house and property. Last year I actually didn't ride after the middle of August. After beating...

Well actually some of us did by new and mine was sitting in a crate on a shelf at the dealers. As to what came in that crate I can't say for sure because I wasn't there when they unboxed it but I agree that it is unlikely a free set of fairings comes with every new bike, now a coffee maker...

Actually the one thing that surprised me is the stuff I got was hospital grade machine washable. The only thing I want is a rain hoody for when I am not on the bike, I somehow don't think it is water repellent.

I think I have my next mod here....:D

I did that and I think it works great, the guy I went to was actually a horse tack person but can re-cover and do all kinds of stuff with the leather and foam, if you have ever ridden a horse you'd understand that they have a tough job because it is also dealing with horse comfort as well as...

And don't forget to duck :scared:

Hey where abouts are you in Australia? That's an awesome road. Go Bombers! :D

Yes I am glad I wear a full face because then no one can ID the dude who dropped his bike at the lights for no apparent reason...:banghead::banghead::banghead: I was almost home, a little tired and irritated from work and at the lights, right hand slightly downhill turn I was checking traffic...

Welcome. I just got mine a little over a month ago and so far the list I had goes something like: Luggage Center stand Grips Heavy Bar ends Frame sliders tank protector sheep skin Touring screen HID Kit Flush mount turn signals Some new gear for me Don't forget the chain lube...

Bad luck?? I'd say the fact that you are in one piece constitutes a lot of good luck :D. Don't give up :surrender: I'm sure things will change. Stay safe :Sport:

Congrats, I had a good time when I did mine too. Difference being I really needed it was nervous as hell never having ridden before, course gave me the confidence to ride properly.
