I am from central Illinois and I would be up for a meet and greet depending upon the date. Hubby and I have the Busa Bash at the tail of the dragon April 24- May 1, otherwise I'm available. :)
Hi everyone! I have been combing the search option trying to find what is the best width in wheel tape for our bike with no luck! So I have been viewing pictures of bikes on the forum that have wheel tape and it looks as if the 3/8 ( 9mm ) is the correct size but I would love some advice before...
MizMoo, JustKatie, Gixxerhp, and JustKatie's hubby were at the Busa bash in Robbinsville North Carolina riding the incredible curvy roads and the tail of the dragon! What the FZ6R lacks in horsepower it more than makes up for with style. I think MizMoo and I added some class to the busa bash...
Did you get it at Sportland in Urbana? I saw it sitting outside last Wednesday. Congratulations I bet you are on pins and needles waiting to pick it up! This has been an awesome March for Illinois, I have been taking full advantage and getting alot of riding time in. Congrats again and enjoy...
I am definitely planning ahead next year...sure would have been nice to meet some of my fellow Org'ers<----yikes that doesn't look right! Sorry I missed you all, better luck next year. Katie.
I ride with the husband but he is way over protective and has the kid gloves on! So when I would like to push myself a little and gain some experience he is holding me wayyy back (Bless his heart). I'm thinking I may ask him to ride in the back so this little birdy can stretch her wings
Did anyone in the org. go to the Motorcycle Show in Chicago this weekend? The last couple years with the struggling economy attendance has been weak but this year it was booming and was a much better show than in the last several years. Only complaint is all the people and their kids with...
Whew! When I tried to get on the site a screen came up that said FORBIDDEN, and for a moment I thought I was banned! I was trying to think of what I could have said that was so offensive that would get me banned, glad to see it was a server problem. I kinda knew better cause this is such a great...
For Christmas my hubby got me T-rex frame sliders, a Yamaha FZ6R protective cover and a Tourmaster "Motive" riding Jacket. And I got him a custom glass laser etched Hayabusa sign. Come on spring!
Have you considered buying some gently used gear on ebay? My husband has bought 2 pairs of Sidi boots for under half price of brand new and was completely satisfied.
Heineken, congratulations! Way to represent Illinois (since our politicians have givin us such a bad name, lol). No really you should pat yourself on the back!
Joe Rocket Womens Alter Ego pants sound like they might fit your needs. Motorcycle superstore has them and they say they have an adjustable hem. 100% waterproof, vented, and can zip to your jacket. Hope this helps :)
I'll spare the lecture, I'm certain that you have replayed the accident over and over in your mind and know too well how lucky/blessed you are. Also you probably knew you would get reamed for not wearing gear and decided to share your experience anyway knowing it may save another, kudos to you...
I purchased the Roaring toys lowering link and kickstand and had a local garage install and am very pleased with the level of control I have now, but here's the problem: I struggle with the kickstand and have to really pay attention that I have it engaged. The other day going back to work from...
Insist that her phone records be pulled, not sure the laws in your state but it couldn't hurt. On a side bar: Please don't lump all women together as bad drivers. I have been driving for 30 years with no accidents that were my fault...probably because I respect the fact that I am driving a 5000...
I think your pride came through just fine seeing that you are willing to share your experience with your forum family! Just goes to show that it doesn't matter how experienced a rider may be something unexpected can come up, also another testament to wearing gear. Thanks for being humble enough...
Not sure if an International Motorcycle Show comes close to your area, I live in Illinois and go to the International show in Chicago every year. They have all the brands and usually at a discounted price. The show is so huge that you can try on alot of different helmets to see what you like and...
