i live about 5 minutes from the track, and i am unemployed...hmm i think my schedule is free for those weekends! cant wait

+1 - i would really like to hear what you have to say about the difference

love it

So i dont have the cash to drop on a great pair of riding boots, so i just wear my work boots, they are a typical pair of black Rocky boots. Now besides the obvious of the riding boots being more protective, with the work boots is it considered an in between protection - a step up from tennis shoes but not as good as purpose built riding boots? Or is it sufficient enough to ride with work boots all the time? i dont want to end up like the aforementioned picture <-- no relevance just wanted to use this

I am in! unless the woman smacks me in the peepee for it :boxing:but ill let her have this ---> haha

Welcome, bout time you got on here! Once my seat is back from www.greatdaytoride.com we will go for a ride soon, maybe some OR on here in the mansfield area want to get together for a ride on a sat or sun in the coming weeks?

Welcome to the site! there are tons of rides here!

Rip

:lol:

i voted repsol, but changed my mind get the motard!

Wish we had cool things to do in mansfield instead of the stupid miracle mile

Looks like some good gains from your mods! Nice work!

+1 for M&P....those are great guns

home defense = shotgun. Unless you have enough practice with a handgun even if it is a monster like a .357 or a smaller .380 and everything in between you will be lucky to hit what you are aiming at during any high stress encounter if you are anything 10+ feet. Sound goofy but trust me that's how it works. With a shotgun you can rely on the spread of the double .00 buck shot. but then again you could be like me and have an AR15, a .40 and a 9mm ready at hand (i shoot very frequently and have been specially trained) - for your home defense. If you are concerned about your woman or anyone else getting to your gun that is chambered (a. never have a gun that is loaded without it being chambered....if its not chambered, whats the f'ing point? haha) they make nice lock boxes (check out GunVault) that with a few button pushes of a combo the door will unlock and your gun will be there or locked up or ready at hand within less than a second. Just my .02. Good luck with your search for what works for you!

448 for me!

+1 me too!

Congrats on your purchase! I bought an 01 bandit last summer just for kicks and it had about 38k miles on it, ya i rode it through west virginia after getting lost on gravel roads down there (never again will i go to west va) it held up pretty well. after needing to rejet the carbs, and multiple other issues it got sold about a month after purchase and i got the 650r, fuel injection and zero maintenance is awesome! haha

I have the 08 650r and i love it on long rides, its not a supersport, but it has decent pick up and nice torque. 4k for that sounds like a really good deal, has it been wrecked? +1 for the 650r and distance rides and it still maintains a supersport look if thats what you want

+1 on the read - a lot of jackasses need to check that out haha

Two to the chest and it won't matter if its a 9mm or a .40. IMO (i have a 9mm XD, .40 sig, and a Ruger .380, .40 Glock 27; my fav to shoot is the XD:D) P.S. you cant go wrong with an XD +1 for you, congrats on the new purchase!!!

if i could afford it thats what i would do!!

+1 for Arrow exhaust, excellent excellent quality! I know mine is on a Kawi but I was very impressed with quality and sound, you really cant go wrong!

:plus1:looks awesome, i love that style!

Welcome! i am in mansfield area too, we will have to get together and ride!
