Sounds like a nice trip! Thanks for sharing. This may seem like an odd question, but since I'm always looking for my next bike I like to get other rider's perspectives; on your trip I'm assuming you were on your Bandit, did you wish you were on any other type of bike at any point? and if so what?

I'm also hearing of increasing incidents of license plates being stolen and then used when stealing gas. Only time will tell if this is a trend or a few isolated cases.

Nice work Rob, I believe you have come up with the unified string theory! GWS rider.

Ok, I don't know what you should do. But here's what I would do; I would send them the receipts they asked for. More than likely they just want evidence of what was repaired so that you don't put in a claim for this same un-repaired damage at some future point in time. They will also likely...

Good luck and have fun!

Condolences to family and friends. RIP

...you don't post that you're quitting.:confused1:

Yeah another vote for burger's priest - "redeeming burgers one at a time"

I don't know if they're legal, but a friend who had one never got bothered by the cops, even when pulled over for other stuff. Make sure you have a plate light though.

Drive test center is where you take it.

I'm surprised you haven't had more close calls driving around unconscious and all - sorry couldn't resist :D

I also think they sound pretty cool when backing off the throttle. Grats on the bike!

My guess would be that our 400 series are congested to the point that many of those billion KM are traveled at parking lot speeds, a byproduct of congestion is low speed collisions and a masking of poor highway driving ability.

The main issue with starting on a 600 without any experience is that it requires a degree of subtlety with the controls that is not often there with a new rider. So every mistake is amplified and harder to recover from, it is much easier once you have committed enough of motorcycling to muscle...

USA in 2005: 4,881 pedestrians left this earth vs. 4008 motorcyclists, this despite pedestrians performing an activity with which they are intimately familiar and skilled, and within an infrastructure catering to their safety, whereas motorcycles are not allowed on the sidewalk.

You will note the motorcyclist is sitting safely on his bike, while the human cannon ball is no more - RIP. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1380477/Human-cannonball-dies-safety-nets-fails-Scott-Mays-Daredevil-Stunt-Show.html

Pedestrians The following represents pedestrian accident statistics for the United States according to the National Highway Traffic Association and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. - Pedestrian fatalities account for 11 percent of motor vehicle fatalities. - Over 180,000...

I also humbly suggest visiting a drive test center after hours, and look for the paint markers in the parking lot where they place the pylons, buy some cheap tennis balls, cut them in half and use them on the paint as pylons, and practice your slow speed slalom. (you can also practice walking...

To be able to walk your bike you must walk your bike. Specificity Principle: "The Specificity Principle simply states that training must go from highly general training to highly specific training. The principle of Specificity also implies that to become better at a particular exercise or...
