I just got an SJ4000 last week and so far it seems pretty good in my truck. Haven't mounted it to my bike yet though, but I'll put up some footage when I do.
The first time I rode a street bike was 6 years ago in Italy. My cousin had to go to work and gave me the key to his f4i to get around. IMO the drivers there are much better than drivers here. There is a certain etiquette they follow, and as long as you learn that etiquette it's actually much...
I'm not sure of your parking situation, but another option would be a small enclosed trailer. I have a 12' enclosed trailer with a ramp and can get pretty much anything into it without much effort. Plus, it doubles as winter storage. I picked it up a couple of years ago for under 3k brand...

Right now I'm parking my bike at my shop at the west end of caledon and riding home on nicer days. In my truck, I usually take king across the whole way. On my bike I've been going across caslederg all the way to mount hope, where I live. I get home faster and then I'm sad.
My shop is about...
I spend most of my days on the road and I've seen it all. The most common thing lately is people getting into the passing lane but not speeding up to pass (mostly on the 410). Usually I just give the driver a stern stare when I finally get a chance to pass followed by a disappointing head...
Thanks guys.
Kevin, I'd be interested if you've got the patience to ride with a noob. Can't go out after dark till June 9 though, still got my kiddie license.
