not gonna lie they are amazing bikes. but why do the dumbest people always buy those bikes and ruin them. do they not know they are only using .1% of the bike's real potential?

o i thought you were going to say you got laid by some hot chick... lame jk

^only part of the movie i laughed at...

the hjc mirrored isn't as tinted as you think it would be. i have no problems riding with it at night. although obviously i wont do hard canyon riding but its good enough to get me from where i am to home safely. i also rode home from OU to cbus with my dark smoke at 1am on 33. was thinking it was a dumb decision but i my eyes adjusted better than i thought. i want a new SHARK helmet the new eagle looks freaking sweet. is it a bad that i already have 2...

the VERY FIRST DAY i rode my bike... come out of the little 90 degree turn near my house twist the throttle and back end backs around like im powersliding only less cooler somehow i keep the throttle on (which i know now is what i was supposed to do). anyways for some newb reason i went WOT right after that and did a good shit my pants wheelie over a stomach dropper hill. it was pretty much the bike saying "respect me bitch"

^ok but to counter that statement, what about when our insurance rates go up because of an increase in motorcycle fatalities. if we don't have a helmet law, ALL of us will be affected by increasing rates, whereas if we do have a helmet law, the people who don't wear their helmet will feel the hit to the pocket. not the entire riding community.

well if they make us wear seatbelts but not helmets then we should at least abolish the seatbelt law. nothing wrong with that right...? i agree that the govt has no place in forcing us to be safe. its my choice right? but if they've already got the seatbelt law locked down might as well try and tack on a helmet law to that as well IMO and no kawi kid i know not everyone will abide by it but it will certainly make more people wear it. there are so many people that could have been saved by a simple helmet. and i know some will argue those are the dumb idiots we want off the road anyways but still i do not like to see or read front page in the paper about anyone get hurt or killed in a motorcycle wreck. and harb that is my BIGGEST pet peeve is seeing riders with the helmet on the side. wtf? but thats another topic

ok so i don't know about any of you, but i am an avid wearer of helmets, yes there were the few times when i was newbie if it were a short trip that i didn't wear it and chose oakleys over safety im guilty of that. but i have since grown out of that phase and always wear my helmet now and encourage other riders to do the same. ever since i've been in high school if i ever had to do a research paper it was always motorcycle related, and most of the time relating to helmet laws and why ohio doesn't have them. i don't have enough time to write out a full essay and frankly i dont think anyone here wants to read it. but most of my research found that people don't want a law requiring the use of a helmet because of the freedom of choice and it basically centers around taken away a persons right to choose or something to that nature. i never really found a way to counter that argument until today, talking to my ol' wise grandma about the subject. i told her that there are two states that border each other, one with the helmet law and the other without, and when the riders cross the border into the state that doesn't have the law, they pull over and take their helmets off. this completely baffled her and said "then why do they make us wear seatbelts." if i dont wear a seatbelt im only putting myself at risk, same goes for a helmet. yet they make us wear seatbelts but don't require helmets to be worn. doesn't make any sense to me. and there are the obvious factors about wearing a helmet such as decreasing the risk of serious head trauma, etc. what are your thoughts on the matter? im seriously considering starting to meet with state officials to see what i/we can do about it. people who don't wear helmets and refuse to do so i would also like to see your comments on here as well. and please respect everyone's opinion on the matter whether it be for or against.

^ i think its like the americanized version of mxc i like wipeout but i HATE the show thats on after the japanese game show is just annoying

no seriously: http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Pq11YkGJ

thats the first video in a long time that has struck a nerve with me

did that same thing in cbus on one of my afternoon rides. it was wet and there was a surprise gravel patch in the apex. couldn't do that well of evasive maneuvering because my rear tread was uber low, just coasted it through i would say a good 250-300 feet until i could stop on a driveway. i could have sworn i was going to go down at least twice. if your offroading on a sportbike chances are the best thing to do is to just let it work itself out, meaning dont brake gas or steer and you'll be Aok lol its probably best not to offroad in the first place.

the sp2 gloves of the same manf are good as well. thats what i roll although im due for new ones soon and might try the gp's

its going to get all taped. only problem about pulling my fuse is that it also controls the instrument panel. speedo i could care less about but i need my tach... so im just going to pull the plugs for the front lights and signals, and tape over them, as well as the rear and pull the plug on them as well. im going to end up making a switch for it easiest option at this point.

ok well maybe ill go for a shorty... i can't keep away, ill probably pull off at 42 most likely still not sure yet so if im not there by 1015 don't wait up

its possible. depends on how i feel been kinda sick lately. idk nicks not back yet and i kinda feel bad riding without him plus i just found out the geometry on my bike is a little out of whack. it was lowered about an inch in the front so i wanna fix that. its that confidence thing, now that i know its off i can't ride it like i want to, even though its been like that for over a year now.

no they are led's either way im going to ahve to take the whole rear tail off to get to the lighting assembly. which is why im should i make a switch to just cut the power to the back end without taking the rear off everytime?

so i have a solo tail that i run on the street. i am getting ready for a trackday (yet its in a month and im already getting ready...yea that bug has hit me ) and this would be my first one with the tail. i completely forgot about unplugging the lights so i am going to inevitably clip all my zipties and take off the tail unplug the wires and ziptie it back together, can be a pain in the ass... question: while im in there should i just make an easy access switch to turn the whole back end lighting off (is that allowed or are the sticklers on making sure its unplugged--im doing STT)? or extend the wires to move the plug to it easy access such as under the seat (the harder possibly little more expensive option)? so that way next time i do a trackday i don't have to do all the work just to unplug the lights. this is the only glitch i have had so far with running a solo tail...
