If it's a rubbing issue, put some moleskin on the inside of the glove. If it's compression then you do need to go up a size. The knuckle guard shouldn't move around much and shouldn't move independently from the glove. That wouldn't offer the kind of protection you need in a fall and slide.

Talking is good. Just be slower to brush off a bike that you have minimal or no experience with. You came off a bit crass, unintentionally no doubt! The folks around here will jump on any apple cart rattling. Also, worry less about tech specs and the like, and more about seat time. The bike...

Pay off all of my families debts and mortgages. Trust fund for college for all of My families kids. With the rest buy a couple commercial rental properties... But of course I'd also buy a garage full of moto-toys.

Because of my size I'm thinking of starting on a 500cc standard (cb500f or equivalent). Should be fun when I post that up. Still a year or so out though, plenty of time to change my mind. Have fun, stay as safe as you can. Post lots of pics!

*Chirp chirp*.... Couldn't help myself!

This. I can respect this.

Haha, my sarcasm didn't show through. But that area is well known to have speed traps on it. Its deterred me from speeding on that stretch of road. With that said its probably a cash cow for Durham region with non-local traffic.

Just driving home and a jeep slammed through a red light and nearly parked himself in the side of my huge work truck... Speed trap down the street was very effective though. Didn't catch him speeding but maybe next time.

Quite the list. Had to google the brutale

No doubt. I can't imagine being afraid to tell my wife about a purchase of something I want. At worst it should be a discussion on why it's a bad idea lol and at least it should involve what needs to happen to make it happen.

How many shoes or purses would be the equivalent of some of those nicer motorcycles? My wife has a killer closet off our master bedroom that cost us a fortune. Between stocking it and the renovation we probably spent close to $8,000. So while I definitely see your point. Isn't it fair to say...

KTM 690 Duke and an Indian Scout would look great in my garage. Both are too much motorcycle for me now though so an 82-95 UJM would be great as well...

Her current goal is to be smoke free. So she has to be smoke free for one year. Saving all of the money that she would usually spend on cigarettes. At the end of the year she can do whatever she wants with that money. It'll net a pretty smooth $2,000. We're both remarkably cheap, so that helps...

My agreement with my wife is to be either debt neutral in property or get to my old standard of fitness before I can get a motorcycle. Not easy, but it's good to have goals. My thought on finances is open book policy. No secrets should be necessary. My finances are completely linked with my...

Just practice on some scrap. You want tight clean lines to fit glass into, nothing fancy. Create some guide posts and c-clamp them on. Wear eye protection. I should also mention that variable speed routers can be a pain to set just right. Follow the manual. Buy good sharp bits and keep them sharp!

Sorry, I can't find the original post. What bike are you talking about?
