wow, thank you for so many suggestions, product ideas etc... trust me, i am taking notes.

i really want to enjoy riding and for me, its going to mean staying warm. i dont have many pics yet, but i will try to post some soon. its a good lookin bike, no bling or mods ( but i did just order a ride naked sticker !!!!! i can resist ) but now i actually have a bike that doesnt bore me to tears and can still practice cornering on, i will def. want to ride more often. its asphalt black, and i really like it... here is what blows ya'll -- my 6 year old daughter actually tipped it over and now i have scratches and a tiny dent on the tank. argh!!!!!!!!!!! im still trying to stay sane over that incident.

hey hoops. i might look you up when it gets it gets alot warmer. good to know you girls are in town. i was without bike for a year .. but just picked one up recently. im just going to throw this out there cause i genuinley am wondering if im alone on this -- has anyone mentioned the words "fatal" in your organization name? makes me a little uncomfortable as a bike rider. honest! that aside, im sure you'll all "dead sexy!"

been a while ya'll but i finally landed a new bike perfect for me, a honda 599. had a chance to ride a couple of weeks ago and even though it was like 50ish outside it was great to hop on even if briefly.

i just cant take the cold. which leads me to my question. in general i have a really hard time staying comfortable temperature-wise riding, no matter the time of year.

what are some tips to keep the "breeze" out when riding?

What the hell is quality check. They lick the pizza before delivery?

thats freaking hillarious!!!

why would you want that on your plates?

agreed.. even my bitchy gay friends would ask the same

was it a male or female driving? and were they on their cellphone?

I think a bigger question is, were they wearing a bluetooth.

come on kim, i'm really not too worried about that.

i knew you'd appreciate that!!!!!

count on sufficient patrolling at the dragon at very specific areas/straight aways. just be aware that they are watching!

i know someone who does this and they swear by it that it has changed their lives. me? im not willing to give up my dollar & calorie heavy frappacino. its just not happening. instead i work out a little extra and drink extra water. i can always tell when it catches up with me cause their is always a little more junk in the trunk b4 everywhere else...

pigeon forge warning -- super mickey mouse. i found it completely obnoxious. gatlinsburg was a better option and has more charm imo. even then its a drive to the dragon despite the offerings of the smokey mountains. cherokee is closer by an hour

for me, its a lot easier to deal with snow than it is of the crazy shit and people of SoCal. I've been there 3 times and spent a week to ten days each time and it was cool then but by the last 2 or 3 days I couldn't wait to get back to Cleveland

for sure, its always nice to come home no matter where that is. that feeling will never subside. its funny but i was on a 2 month road trip out west before i committed to returning to real work in corp. america. By the end of 6 weeks, i found myself wanting home real bad..... where ever that was, even marysville ohio.

ps. If you were in LA or anywhere else but south county or San Diego, I give you kudos for hangin in that long. (I can't stand LA, and San Diego is gods country).

i just want nick to know im particularily fond of his signature. my dad grew up in the depression. he put this mantra to work and did so often.. lol

More of an ego thing. Which some (or many) consider a sin.

Only made worse by the reference to a deity.

You'll probably have to be a bit older to recognize those lyrics.

Xcellent song!

i'd rather deal with the cold and snow than live in socal

the cold and snow blow. thats just crazy talk ya'll. where is charlie sheen when you need him

Tarantulas arnt bad it's the small scorpions you need to worry about. Have the local poison control number on hand.

x2 - hence the need for duct taping the vents and the black light~

i love arizona and the country around sedona is breath taking. i personally would move there if i could and property is relatively affordable. dont knock socal too much -- it has some great riding oppotunities. there are plenty and they are pretty good too.

u moving south? duct tape your vents and purchase a black light....

i vote this one !!!

A good way to weed them out is to ask them to go through a house that you know is a complete shithole and ask them to point out the stuff that is wrong/bad. if they do a thorough job and you are comfortable with their explanation, keep'em. If you BS detector goes off and you think they're blowing smoke, fire them that day.

brilliant advice! thats a keeper in my world

lists of motorcycle seat heights,

http://www.vtwinmama.com/motorcycle_seat_heights.htm

http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/school-SectionTwoB.htm

edit: quick calculation, at 5'2", if you want to flat foot a bike. I'd start looking around at a 28" seat height and higher.

Guzzi V7 is 31.7

Guzzi Griso is 31.5

Virago is 28.3

thanks Tom!

Welcome and enjoy!

It's Italian... What's not to like?
