I was thinking the same thing as PrincessPratt, don't you have a wallet? I would never get my social tatted on my body, what if someone reads it and steals your identity? Plus I feel that tattoos should be more personal than an identification purpose.

I think it is odd how you look at your relationship. Shouldn't a relationship be about your commitment to eachother and the "relationship" that you have with that person? I split everything with my boyfriend, but if I were married I would want to have our bank accounts pooled together because I would assume we would pay the same bills and all. Right now I live with my boyfriend and two other guys so it's an odd situation. If I were your girlfriend though, I would be mad that you didn't tell me you got a raise, what's the big deal? And I would feel hurt that you didn't trust me with the information or feel comfortable enough to tell me. I agree with having personal money, but I don't feel like it should be so much that you could just go out and buy a bike or something like that, that is a lot of money and could be used towards something else more important, at least I feel that it should be discussed and agreed upon when a large amount of money is being tossed around.

Do you know what happened?

Thing is with Jons bike is that my feet don't touch the ground at all. I'm not kidding I can't even get the bike off the kickstand it is to tall for me. It's sad I must have the shortest legs in the world.

Last night when I was coming home from the gateway area the police had the entire Polaris and Gemini exits blocked off, this was around 1:30 this morning. When we drove past I'm pretty sure that I saw a bike on the exit. Does anyone know anything about this, I have been searching but have not found anything on the web? All that was left on the exit was the bike and a few police cars. I hope the fallen rider is alright, but from what I have heard about exits being closed is that it is not a good sign.

I use a Jansport backpack that I used in highschool. I need it to put my purse in and it came in handy yesterday when I rode to Iron Pony with my friend and he bought boots, guess who got to carry his shoes back? Me, along with the other stuff he got along with my boyfriends stuff. It definately comes in handy, but it makes it hotter to ride. I want to get one of those little bags that magnet onto the gas tank. Those seem cool and they are just big enough for a few things and a purse. A little expensive though, around $50, at least expensive to me .

Thanks Kevin, it was good to see you. I don't see how knowing I'm a girl makes any difference to what I say in a forum. Here are pics of the Daytona 675 and the Ninja 636, I don't have pics of the Vulcan because he has it with him now.

I was told that there is going to be a car show on Sat at the clippers stadium and that there is going to be a bike show involved also. I think it is like a stunt bike show or something like that, a guy from Hinds told me about it the other day. Just thought people might like to know about it, sounds like a good time. I think the bike show starts around 12.

What does lowering it do to the handling, how does it make it different. I haven't ridden anything other than my bike so I don't know how different it is.

Apparently the bike was lowered 2 inches. I'm not really concerned with it handling really well right now, I'm not a crazy turning person, I don't even like turning fast right now. Thanks for all the advice from everyone.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone, yeah I'm a girl, I know Ryan is misleading, for all who care, apparently theres one person on here who does ALOT. LOL. Yeah I still need to get the foot cut and welded back on, I have just been carrying around stuff in my backpack to put it one when I park on blacktop.

I have been riding for only a few weeks and one of those weeks I was in Ireland, so I wasn't riding then, obviously.

I haven't heard any scrapes yet, only when my boyfriend was riding it. Although I haven't had to go over any speedbumps yet, it's ok if it scrapes I don't mind I've scraped my car before many times. I lowered it that much because I have never ridden a bike before and didn't want to be on tip toes. I have had a hard enough time moving it around with being able to put my feet down. I have already dropped it when I put my feet down on some gravel and my foot slipped and I forgot to put the kickstand down too. It was a sad day that day.

It is a vulcan, it is my friends. There are currently four bikes in my garage, mine, my boyfriends Ninja 636, roommates triumph 675 daytona and the vulcan sitting next to mine. What is wrong with Hinds, they seem nice to me? Thats where I got my bike.

I lowered my bike so that I can ride it. I'm a beginner rider and I am a 5'4" 120lb girl, so I got it lowered so I could touch and feel more comfortable on it. So I was looking at fender eliminator kits, I found a mount to mount the plate on the side of the bike on the swing arm. I was told that it was illegal to put the plate there, is that true? If it is illegal, have people that have plates like that had problems with the police? I wanted to put the plate under the seat like some people, but I don't think the plate would fit under with it being lowered and all. Does anyone have any knowledge about this? Oh my bike is an '07 Ninja 600 and I think it was lowered about 2.5 inches or 3 maybe. The bottom of the body under where I sit is about an inch from the ground, if that gives any one an idea of how low it is. Thanks, Ryan

Here is my bike, if anyone is interested, I will be out at meets soon, I hope. I have been trying to get used to riding lately and have been laying low, and sticking to the side roads.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. I am definately going to take the course, I have heard that it is really good for new riders to take.

Hi I'm Ryan. I'm sure there are a lot of you on here who know me from CR and perhaps some other forums. I just got an 07 Ninja 600, I don't have it yet because it is getting lowered, since I'm so short. I'm really excited to get to know you guys and can't wait to meet up and go for a ride. I have never riden before so I am a super newb to all this. Ryan
