    leather vs textile

    Denim riding jeans... I only have experience with the womens versions... the Shift jeans are VERY thin... but anything is better than just jeans without kevlar... Draggin jeans are thicker denim, and very well constructed. I just ordered a 2 pc leather suit from Leather Motorcycle Jacket with...

    entry level race suits?

    Does anyone have more feedback on the jackets4 bikes suits? I just lost 50lbs and need to buy something that actually fits ... it's cheaper to buy a suit from them than everything else at this point. I didn't end up getting one before.

    First time!

    Our courses were packed the year I wanted to take it, so it was a month before we could get scheduled at a time it would work for us. I needed to ride before the course to give me a little pratice, and courage though;), so I bought a used 250 yamaha virago, got my permit, rode around for a...

    I'm an out of control gear-whore

    I never have liked two up riding ... I really like to have the control of my own ride. Be prepared when she does start riding ... and if she really likes it, she may have to have a bike for every type of riding she wants to do. :D My husbnad and I have 6 bikes between us. I've got 4 bikes and...

    I'm an out of control gear-whore

    Saddest part is I already have more bikes :D Can't ever have too many, as long as you can get them all out and riding. If they sit, then you start to ride some of them out of guilt, and that's not good. So I say as long as you can ride them all regularly, then go for it! :thumbup:

    So I need women help guys, am I in the wrong or what?

    Ok, I'm an old lady :D, and I guess I'm the ideal one to respond. yes, I get a little irritated when my husband texts or calls when I'm out shopping with the girls. I don't mind a single text once in a while, but if he starts to text me his every move, it gets really annoying... I just tell him...

    riding in the rain?

    Road lines, crosswalks, any kind of painted stripes on the roadway, manholes ... all slick, and can make you biff in a heartbeat. Glad you got your ride in though. :)

    riding in the rain?

    In OR, you guys have weather about like us here in WA :D ... lots of rain, but it makes beautiful greenery. I love the smell of riding in the rain, and also love the smell of early morning ride through country roads. The sweet smell of the forest, berries, blooms of the wildflowers ... one of...

    riding in the rain?

    I don't know how much rain you get in FL, but if I don't ride in the rain, I can't get much riding time here in WA state. The most dangerous time is the first 30 minutes of a downpour, because it takes that long for the rain to wash some of the oiliness off the roadway. Yes you have to ride a...

    riding in the rain?

    Just went back and looked at this Joe Rocket Trench Coat :: MotorcycleGear.com Wow, this is perfect for summer riding because... it is a rainsuit, includes rain pants, and a mesh jacket (to wear as a stand alone in hot weather) underneath the rain jacket, + a fleece vest as well. Heck a mesh...

    riding in the rain?

    After dropping a chunk of change on the riding suit, I'd be hesitant about riding in a downpour with it, unless you buy some raingear. There is a ton of cheap raingear out there. Yes it looks like marshmallow man, but wow, sure keeps you dry. Raingear :: MotorcycleGear.com

    entry level race suits?

    Hey Spunk, do they have varying sizes all the time? I noticed they only have a few sizes in each style. Maybe they only list the ones in stock at the time? I wrote to them to ask, but haven't heard back.

    fz6r down....

    Ok, first off she knows the bike means a lot to you, so of course she is going to feel really bad. Also, people think boots with tall heels help.... I'm here to tell you, they don't. Only if you get a platform sole on the boot, will it ever help with the reach. (I know several people that have...
