Someone definitely needs to hook up MJ with some cold ones. I had a heart string pulled reading her story yesterday and the jerk who wouldn't let the poor girl use his phone. Glad to hear she's okay and almost there.
I've been down twice and lived because I was wearing a helmet....and I also learned the value of wearing the appropriate gear after suffering through some f'in painful road rash. You know, the saying holds true - stupid should hurt and it hurt like hell. Never again.
I can provide my Ram 2500 and two bike ramps if we can muscle up it into the bed - the truck sits up a little high, IMO. Or we can borrow Bad's trailer for an easier time hauling it back to your place. Let me know whatcha think.
The shout box number isn't comment related but simply indicates how many members are active in it. And I've never seen it disappear nor is it a bother.
I've never had to use them with a quality helmet that fits properly and that's going back to the mid 80's when I first started riding. Honestly, your helmet sounds like the problem.....buy one that fits and seals better.
FZ1 or Bandit.....I love the old Gixxer motor, so torquey....but that FZ1 looks like a sweet one to ride with Hailwoods setup. Good luck making the decision, Sam....so many choices.
