I feel your pain on removing panel to change oil. My 600rr is the same. I even have to remove coolant bottle to get filter out.

Thanks for handling all of this Derek. I'm sure it was a pain. Can't wait for the ride. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

I do attend church regularly, but as the story above mentions that does not mean bad things do not happen in my life or other Christians as well. I believe God gave us a brain to use and if we can do something to prevent bad things from happening to us or others we care about we should do it.

I have no insight on a tank bag. For me personally I purchased a set of Motocentric sport saddle bags last year when I went to the dragon. They worked very well. The waterproof covers did not hold up to freeway speeds, but I did not rely on them anyways. I put everything in plastic bags before slipping it into the saddlebags. I lay on my tank on the highway and I think a tank bag would interfere with that. Between the saddles and the backpack I strap on the rear of my bike I had enough storage for my 5 day trip.

Mine is same as yours. Thought it was part of design.

My shirt came yesterday as well. I did not notice any issues, but I'm gonna double check now.

Casper how can I get 1 of these said stickers from you?

Yep got a message the other day. Estimated arrival of Wednesday. Thanx

Glad to know I'm not the only 1 that has used motocross techniques on the street. My event was a set of nasty bumps however not an animal.

Got the suit today. Fit good and looks good, just as described. Thanks. I would say if anybody else is looking at anything you posted they can buy with confidence. Now just to save up for a track day and get enough guts to go for it. Thanks for getting me 1 step closer.

Sent you a pm. Consider it sold.

How much to ship suit to 44047?

I ended up ordering a pair of the jeans, and got some deals on a rain suit, and chest protector as well for riding the quad. Jeans are a bit snug even going up a size. They will work though and I typically shed some lbs in the summer as well so that will help too.

I enjoy Craigslist as well, bought and sold my fair share of items on there. The bike I currently came from there via a trade for a Raptor quad. I have had my dealings with douche bags, but I also have run into some decent honest people as well. You can usually tell what you're dealing with, but I have been fooled a time or 2. All in all I've had good luck with it.

That sucks. I have dealt with guys like that on Craigslist multiple times and it sucks. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

Cool. Hope it all works out for you. Good luck with it.

As long as it's up and not open I might just do that. Thanks for the invite.

You guys crack me up

If you end up flipping it. What kind of money would you expect from a 1982 magna? Just asking because I know guys have asked me in the past what an older bike is worth and I have no clue. I don't know that market like I do sportbikes.

As a school teacher it definitely was eye opening. The training confirmed some of my original thoughts about how to handle a situation and it gave me some additional strategies as well. I teach at a high school and our instructor was hesitant to suggest having students put their lives at risk to stop an attacker. I think it is hard for anybody to say if they would put their life at risk in a situation like that. I don't think you can say how you will react in any situation until you're in it. Then to force/encourage a student to risk his or life is difficult for me.

Thanks for the responses. I'm going to get a pair since I currently just wear jeans. I figure they have to be better protection than that.

I found it funny. Not sure what it says about me.

Primarily looking at a pair of riding jeans. Has anybody bought a pair of them? Did u like them? How did they fit? I'd love to go there in person but a 3 hour drive is a little longer than I'd like to take. http://www.ironpony.com/ipd/pi.asp/ImageName/OXFORD-CASUAL-JEAN-BLUE.jpg/Brand/Oxford/c2/Pants-and-Chaps/c3/Riding-Jeans/c1/Street-Products/KitKey2/Kevlar-Casual-Jean

I know it is difficult to see speed on camera but seems like he should have made that corner easily. Target fixation?

For $350 I hope you bought a $300 tire. For 17 days I hope they repainted your rear wheel as well.
