I have a set of the first gear ht pant very similar to these. They are great for colder weather riding and wet weather riding. These would offer good protection in the case of a fall. Leather would offer better protection but are not as warm or waterproof. Buy them josh they will extend your riding season in comfort for the colder months. free bump for a good deal.
So are you planning to show up for this ride Justin or just quoting perma banned people? If there is a group from the west that want to meet up to ride down lets get a spot set and time.
Congrats Josh, that z 750 would suit you nicely. Go buy it now so you have it for the ride on the 25th LOL! Heck I will sell you my triple for $3000 if you really want it. BUY BUY LOL!
I say doc picks a date and we get a list started for who is going to show up. I think me and twisted 12 are the big sunday pushers. Won't hurt my feelings if the ride ends up being on Sat. I will be riding on sunday either way.
Like I said in his sale thread buy it Josh. These are great bikes, make around 100 hp at the wheel and upper 40 for ft lbs. Great street bikes. Very comfy but will still do well in the twisties. I would also pick one of these over the 650r or sv650.
If it was not so far away I would try it. Thanks for the pm about it. I don't have a way to get the dr down there other then to ride it. And as hard core as I am not gonna try to do 300-400 miles on a dual sport with knobbies and a stock seat.
Yeah cause I have not seen 25 riders post up about making this ride either? From the posts I have seen in the last 15 pages it is more like 10 riders who said they were gonna make it. I dont care if there 5 of us who show up I just want to squeeze a few more rides in before the weather gets to bad.
