BUT. If you do nothing else, get those ****ing sneakers off your feet when you're riding. I had an 80 year old slam in to my bike last June, I'm still rehabbing from the accident, and if I hadn't had riding boots on I would have lost my foot. Just sayin'

Went riding this past Saturday. Bike was really heavy in the turns and had to really fight it.... Finally realized I had picked up a nail in my rear tire somewhere along the way. Looks like it's time to buy a new back tire.

I wish, it's just the 883. Figured that would be fine for my first street bike. And no, I'm a ranger I just rolled out to show my coworkers. But it's fun to show ppl the pic and say I was getting hassled by the law

It was either cheap on the helmet and get boots and vest or buy good helmet and get boots and vest next pay day bc I ended up putting more down than I had expected to after seeing the apr rate. With the accidents I've worked I stand by my decision for now. I rather lose a foot than my noodle.

Even if you've got some leather construction boots or something around they would be 100 times better than sneakers. Just lookin' out, not trying to bust balls.

Going through some old pics today, I found a pic of my first bike, Suzuki GS750L

Volusianator · 03-15-2011, 12:29 PM

I finally broke down and tool my air cleaner cover in to be repainted, can't wait to get it back so I can ride.

I got a few miles left on mine, but they will need to both be replaced early this spring.

Mine is about half gone and the shop is telling me they don't patch/plug bike tires.

sikk50 · 03-15-2011, 12:57 PM

TBone · 03-15-2011, 02:14 PM

It's Alive!!!!!! After crashing my favorite pointless toy at Sears Point in 2008, followed by a divorce and some other yucky stuff I've finally gotten back on my feet to where I could fix my Ducati and give my KTM a break this summer. Just waiting on a couple last bits but here's the proof.

If you like noise turn up your speakers.

Awesome getting it back on the road again

The wife and I picked up our first bikes a couple weeks ago.. We're having a ton of fun building up our skills, and really hoping the nice weather settles in soon.

Mine is on the right

Nice that you two get to ride together but separate. Congrats and be safe! Hi-beams on all the time is my recommendation.

Picked up my new bike yesterday. Rode 'er home from Delaware and loved every minute of it. Great bike!! 2011 FLTRU (Road Glide Ultra) Merlot. I've already logged 250 miles on 'er.
