I always have the passenger (or myself even) put one hand against the riders back when stopping. This prevents helmets hitting together. Give yourself a lot more stopping distance too.

Hell yes! Zamboni driver would e a sweet job. Which ice rinks do you work for?
I work for the Chiller Ice Rinks, which other than OSU and Newark are the only ice rinks in the Columbus area. We usually hire in the fall right before high school hockey starts up, but I know all the rinks are going to need more drivers. They may hire drivers earlier for training.

The ice rinks I work for could always use more help in the fall and winter. If you can drive a bus, I'm sure you can drive an ice resurfacer.

I have the Givi Flow 35 top case and e21 side bags. I had to make my own mounts for them. A couple bucks at Home depot for steel and a few hours at a friend's house with a welder can take care of that.
The 35 liter top case is big enough to fit my helmet, gloves and other small items. The 21 liter side cases will fit my jacket in one of them and all my rain/cold gear in the other.
I have the same side cases on my Piaggio. Very happy with them, I also made my own brackets.

I've used my wife's bike to tow a bunch of things, like this scooter.
-
If you fit a smaller rear I think you would get a a side wall that leaned in. Because it would have to stretch across the rim. It would give you a bigger contact patch when upright but less lean angle. I believe.
My winter tires on the scooter were like this. Helped with stability, but I had to be careful when turning. It was easy to reach the limit.

23,500 and counting.

I think we'll find life on another planet/moon at some point in my lifetime. But I doubt it'll be capable of flying to Earth.

Been riding all winter.

I can't use any less than a Shoei after getting my X-12. My Scorpion helmet was decent, but during 500+ mile rides I would start to feel pressure points. I'd say stick with Shoei or Arai. You get what you pay for.

I rode to work today, the streets I were on were mostly clear. A bit cold at 7am, but it could have been worse.

Like http://www.gimp.org/? Or something else in mind?
+1 for Gimp.

I rode to work yesterday. I have dual sport tires on my scooter with a few hundred ice studs. No traction issues at all.

Adult hockey leagues are about $200 for an 12 week session. Hockey isn't too expensive once you have all the equipment. I bought most of my stuff used, I probablly spent less than $200 for everything.

Nobody has been killed in the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I've sacrificed my virginity once for it, but I've come to terms with that decision, and Ohio doesn't view Beastiality as a felony.
I wonder how many Pastafarians are on OR?

If we could all just celebrate Festivus, the world would be a better place.

Where will they not return it?
Play It Trade It. The guy that sold it to me was there when I went back tonight, and did nothing. Kinda sucks, not much I can do about it. I've been going to them for a while now, might be time to find a new store.
The return to a different store isn't a bad idea, I didn't think of that. Feels wrong though.
-
I bought it for someone as a x-mas gift, but they already have it and I can't return/exchange it. I paid $60, asking $50. Still has the plastic wrap on it. I'm in Columbus.
-
Frog Toggs. They're lightweight, comfortable, and pack easy.

Porter, late Monday would work for me. I have no idea what the going rate is for welding, how much do you want?
Thanks Brian, if this doesn't pan out with Porter I'll let you know.
-
I can help ya out tomorrow, or anytime next week. I live on the east side
Bring the entire bike over and we can fix it on the bike
I may take you up on that. Is Monday good for you? I have to work all day on Tuesday, Porter, but thanks for the offer.
-
Right in the middle of the photo. I'm not even sure how it happened.
-
My exhaust on the scooter cracked in half where the muffler attaches to the header. I don't even care if it's an ugly weld. Any takers? I can pay in cash and/or beer.

Flying Brick found the last one. So how badly do you guys and gals want to know what they are?
Woot! What do I win?
Seat recovering suggestions?

I've recovered a few seats myself, it's not too hard. Waterproof vinyl is pretty cheap at craft stores.
