Maybe a moon roof?

For those worried about melting, maybe I suggest something like this...

Glad you had a good trip. I can't wait to go back again.

You know a "Bundle Deal"

Yeah he has a way of doing that. I'm surprised he didn't try to get you to buy the Sena unit made for the GT Air as well...

Now my excitement for the trip is starting to kick in. I'm already starting to get a packing list put together.

I'd be happy to sweep the Hate Parade, plus I don't think I can get lost...

3 weeks away...

You see alot of textile/mesh because it is more affordable than leather most of the time, and it can vent better. Yes, you sacrifice protection with a mesh jacket, but you must balance the comfort to protection ratio. Some sacrifice their protection some, so they are not sweating their ass off all day. Most textile jackets will have some sort of armor and optional back protector available. IMO, the FZ-07 is a great bike, and a bargain really. It's got enough power to be more than just a beginner bike, while still being a good choice for beginners. If you decide to order gear online, send a message to @RidersDiscount, they can get you some awesome deals.

It's in there somewhere...

I did this loop 2 weeks ago, it's definitely a fun one. Plenty of gas stations along the way.

Wunderground has progressively went from Chance of rain to Overcast to Partly Cloudy 87 Saturday. It has gotten better as it approaches.

Instead of FarmersOnly.com they have ShinersOnly.com

THIS

Rode it to work this morning. Still covered in the bug guts from yesterday's trip home. Might hit some twisties on the way home after work.

So has the OP went and looked at bikes and gear yet? I guess that might be a good place to start. See what catches your eye and and then come back with questions.

Only decent photo from the photographers...

Just made it home. 1240 miles. Rode alot of fun roads, and made it affordable too. Went across Deals Gap twice, first time only made it a little past the overlook and got stuck behind a line of cars and trikes. Had some fun screwing around with a Ford Fiesta. We would pull over and wait for a 2nd train of trikes to start approaching and then take off and catch our train. Did that like 3 or 4 times. 2nd run was later in the evening, sat at the overlook until we had a good gap of no one going by. Made a decent run, found out my highway pegs will drag if not folded up . The new suspension setup helped tremendously. This was my first set of Bridgestone T30s and they stuck like glue once hot. Still had more fun on Cherohala though. 209 The Rattler was also fun, no traffic to worry about on it. Did a good bit of slab to get home today. Fun trip all in all. I can't wait for the June trip now.

Are those the tires that smoke different colors? I've seen something similar at a bike show, years ago.

Damn, how many donuts did you bring home? Seriously though that better be warranty covered.

Welcome!

It definitely needs some work, cause we couldn't get it all to work. 2 riders, Zumo 590, Zumo 660, 2 Sena 10U, 2 Samsung Note 5, and an iPod touch. Yeah we tried to make it way too complicated. Then the GPS kept trying to "optimize" the route which we didn't want. I think this was my fault for not placing enough waypoints.

Today was a great day of riding. Had plenty of issues getting GPS, Sena, and Phone Pairing, but we made it through the day. We stopped at the 421 store for a quick snack and drink.

Welcome!
