The stryker is a nice looking bike, 2 wheels is 2 wheel, what does it matter? If you want it/can afford it then go for it.

Glad all is good. Now make sure you don't brake too hard out of fear! You don't want to get rear ended!

1. It wouldn't be too hard to sell it in october, but you'll have to sell for less as other people will be trying to sell their bikes as well, and the market will be more competitive. 2. You would probably have to get insurance and then cancel it after a month or two, but you'll still be paying...

Might not completely pertain to what you're asking, but watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVWNinsmkAw

Check out the Shark Evoline. It's got a different design where the chinbar flips up, and it's possible to ride with the helmet "open". Also has a built in sun visor. There's a common problem where a plastic that holds the sun visor breaks, but it'll stay in place if you push it up manually...

Does anyone use a throttle lock? Just curious. I've been thinking of getting a throttlemeister, just because. Not looking for a wrist rest, I want to be able take my hand off the bar completely.

Crazy. At least it turned out ok, and the guy apologized.

Don't sit behind things that you can't see past. You want to see as far ahead as possible, in case traffic comes to an abrupt stop. Also, some may not like this, but when there's a lot of traffic (rush hour) on curves I'll take the inside portion of the lane and disregard blocking position. I...

Don't want to offend you with this, but since you've only ridden about 140km... Did it happen regularly? Are you sure you had it down to first gear? I haven't been riding that long either, but when I first started I would occasionally lose track of what gear I was in.

$1000!? That's pretty nice! What are you riding? How old are you now?

I also use these. Depending on how tight your pants are you won't be able to see them much, the straps are comfortable, and there are 3 pieces that move around so they're also comfortable when standing up. I can't speak for the other guards, but I know the icon strykers are much bulkier and...

Ah, figured so. I don't see anything about cancellation fees in the paperwork. I'm assuming if there were any fees they'd be outlined there?

This was my first time buying insurance and I feel like I may have been taken advantage of here... When I had originally called in to SF I was given a quote by a junior, but I was told he wasn't allowed to insure me over the phone because the agent wasn't in the office at the time, so I was...

It looks like he's wearing a helmet in that pic though!

I just bought this earlier today because I don't have a good set of tools yet. The black sockets are unfortunately only double hex sockets.
