Re: she runs... This is gonna look sweet all finished up! So far so good!

Mannn I gotta buy a new lower fairing now, my bike just looks incomplete without it. I'd go full streetfighter but I like the fact the windscreen blocks the bugs (and there are lots of them!) and wind.

Welcome to the forums! I, like you, learned how to ride out in a nice rural area (Port Dover to be exact) - was great with the minimal amount of traffic and nice long twisty roads. This is my first full season riding, I got my license end of the season last year.

K I'm going over to your house and I'm going to trip and fall off your stairs, you didn't put up a "watch your step" sign so I'm going to sue you now.

Basically, don't do any of this stuff around a Police officer. :D Welcome to the forums!

It's mostly the rider, his elbows should be bent, not straight, he's just transferring all the bumps from the front wheel right through his body instead of letting them absorb the impact!

Nice!! They look sweet.

I bet it's already raining there again.

Bought the smoke one for a ZX9 from eBay and modified it to fit on my 86 FZ600, no problems with visibility but it was a process to hook up with relays and resistors to get it powered correctly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaCsoialr4A

It's only this bridge: https://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=43.325396,-79.889479&hl=en&sll=43.324585,-79.889638&sspn=0.006892,0.010686&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=17&t=m&z=17 Shouldn't affect where you want to ride, just approach from the South.

lol, right? :D

No one said they were nervous about it, they just know it's a very real possibility. The whole point of gear is you're expecting the worst, but hoping for the best... I can't see it any other way. Maybe it's because I was unfortunate enough to hit that small patch of gravel right when I was...

It's just a noise by-law as said - has nothing to do with your license, points, or insurance. If a cop ever hassles you for it, remind him about the harleys that drive around with straight pipes that like to ruin your sunday afternoon fishing trip at the pond.

Excellent post, got some good info from this thread.

I'd probably just pull over and take a ticket instead of killing myself trying to get away from paying a fine...but that's just me. That being said, if a bike decides to run, it's pretty pointless for a car or truck police vehicle to pursue them, unless they have eyes in the sky.

I just spray mine before I ride - works fine. Lifting it open just a crack works well too!

I'm betting boots too - in my running shoes it's much harder to shift than in my Alpinestars boots.

Beauty! Can't wait to see it in person.

With the ContourHD if you use the waterproof case it reduces the wind-noise significantly - but without it, I haven't found anything that works. Tape, foam tape, nothing worked... I get good sound recording through my Sena Bluetooth headset connected to my iPhone though.

I hate people that don't pull over for emergency vehicles! They could be on their way to your mom's house! wtf!
