I have a good quality double wall vacuum thermos that I can safely toss into my backpack or tank bag without leakage.

No, that's quite an over reaction for being cut off. I didn't find it funny at all. Someone could have been seriously hurt, and besides, it's terribly unfair to the passenger who obviously isn't at fault.

Buy custom leathers from Velocity.

This scene came to mind.

I can respect the decision, but I'm left wondering what the final straw was, though? Was someone close to OP killed? Did he have a near miss or crash himself?

Yeah, it's not nearly as fun, but a good compromise when choosing between riding or angry gf because "we're not spending enough together". Trying to convince her to get a ninja 250...

About 9500 since late March. I work from home, so it is all pleasure riding. Would be higher if I didn't leave the country for a few weeks. It was growing at a faster rate last season, but this year I foolishly decided to get a girlfriend. She doesn't mind a ride now and then, but doesn't share...

Sounds like a great course. I would be curious to hear how it goes, too.

Sadly, in this interview she says that she doesn't like motorcycles and will never ride one again. She prefers the protection that a car provides.

Huh? Lane splitting is legal in the UK.

I was going to let a driver know that her back left tire was nearly flat. I pulled up beside her and tapped on the window, but of course, couldn't get her attention away from her texting. When she finally looked up she was obviously startled, veered right and suddenly turned right on to side...

I suspected this was the case. The roads were just too empty for the population size. I spent much more time in China and had a less superficial interaction with the locals by way of my girlfriend's family. The pressure they put on their children, especially during their later high school...

I just got back from a two-week trip to Japan. It was interesting to experience the driving / riding culture over there, so I thought I might share some observations with GTAM. It seems the extreme politeness of Japanese society extends to the roadways as well. Perhaps instead of importing...

Quiet you... or I'll start riding with my high beams on during the day.

I would love to get into adventure riding one day. It would be really cool to ride down and visit my friends in Mexico. However, wouldn't that 1-cylinder vibrate like hell and become tiresome for long rides?

It's only 5.5KMs long, and you have to luck out with the green lights, but Argentia between Winston Churchhill and Creditview has some nice bends. It's mostly light industry along that stretch. So, there's not much traffic in the early morning hours, but watch for the odd transport truck or...

I did do some emergency braking practice earlier in the season, shortly after getting it, but I don't recall it kicking back like that. I'll give a try again. Maybe I wasn't being aggressive enough to activate it.

Ignorance, mainly. Two of the guys had liens on their bike and they didn't even know what a lien is.

Hmm, yeah, probably ABS. It pushes back with a lot more force than I would have expected, though.

Nope. It's an '09 SV650SA (ABS).
