    Best grips for a sportbike...

    I pay $1400, granted part of that is because I'm a new rider and don't have a G license. Ninja 250 and other bikes designed for speed, acceleration, cornering and braking up to 500cc's are classified as a lightweight class Sportbikes for insurance and by the AMA / FIM.

    Hand and wrist pain after a few hours

    I did try tucking in on my last few highway rides though I don't think I was fully tucked since I'm a chubby guy it's hard to tell. I've only taken one hand off the handle (clutch hand) so far, don't think i'd do both unless in a really empty parking just yet. last time, to help with pulling...

    Hand and wrist pain after a few hours

    If I grip the tank any tighter with my legs it will cave in. :P I'm still working on finding the best position, might have to bug one of you in person if I ever go to one of those meets.

    Best grips for a sportbike...

    Tell that to my insurance company, I'd love for my rates to go down since it's not a sportsbike.

    Hand and wrist pain after a few hours

    As I get more comfortable with the bike I've been taking longer rides as well as hitting the highway to prepare for a trip to Montreal at the end of the month (if weather permits). But one thing I've found is that after a while depending on what situation i'm in I will start getting pain in...

    I think he's trying to say 250's aren't real sportbikes. He must be one of peggy's friends. :lmao:

    Listening to music whilst driving can help motorists

    The parts that affect concentration are * Trying to change the station when something horrid is being played * getting caught up in the song and starting to sing and dance. :lmao:

    knee guard recommendations

    They are pretty good, the only thing is if you don't have anything between them and your leg it might start to chafe after a bit (though that could just be me), that's why I said I should have bought the "sock" or something to go over the knee but under the knee guard. I could take a pic but...

    earbuds?

    I use these; sound is good for bluetooth, volume control and player control are on the sides. on their own they are comfortable but under a helmet after a while they can be a bit irritating. so I might switch to a scala at some point though I really don't care for the price they charge and I...

    Dropped my bike today ><

    No drop but I can add to the list of stupid today; Took bike to the shop to have sliders installed and went to get the bike back during lunch, warmed it up, took my glasses off and set them down on the seat to put my helmet on. Put my gloves on, sat on the seat and drove off to a nearby...

    I had a good experience with cops today

    License plate will tell you make, year, model, color and vin, only 3 or 4 of those are plainly visible depending on your knowledge of bikes. So if my red Kawi 250 bursts into flames for some reason, it's entirely possible for me to just steal someone else's red Kawi 250 and shove my plate on...

    I had a good experience with cops today

    No I think what he's saying is he's thankful they weren't ******** about it. They have a job to do and how they do that job defines how we view them in the same vein how we we treat them can define how they do their job it's a weird balance. People may think being stopped "for no reason" is...

    USB plug install

    I considered doing something like that and hooking it to the right handlebar but then thought It wouldn't look as clean, C-Note's pictures kinda proved it. I understand it works and has worked for a long time but it also looks like it doesn't belong there and someone Macgyvered it. I agree it's...

    Picking up and talking to chicks on bicycles and scooters downtown.

    From the limited amount of info involved I'm going to assume an unpeeled potato was placed in back of pants, some sitting down occurred and through sheer pressure and force of will, mashed potatoes were created and went up the pooper.

    knee guard recommendations

    I just got a pair of http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-knee-v-guard Now that I've worn them for a bit I kinda wish I had also gotten the "sock" to go under them. I'm considering wearing them over my pants from now on but I think that would reduce their efficiency a bit.
