Yeah they were giving me apparel disocunts where I bought my bike so I bought some leather gloves for my friend and wore them for the first 500 or so miles and I'm definetly going to get some gloves, I notice when riding canyons around here my hands get sweaty as fuck (probably for trying to keep up with Sam)

nevermind

See I can't decide whether or not I'm going full on leather pants because I'm going to be riding my bike to school (it's impossible to find parking spots but motorcycle parking is RIGHT in front of all buildings and always empty, but I don't think I wanna walk around in leather pants, I'm not a rockstar

At least get a mesh jacket with armor, some gauntlet style gloves, some over the ankle boots and some UV sunglasses (if you ride with your shield up often)

lol kid. Saying this isnt going to make us think higher of you. You dont even have a bike. You are technically just trolling this place with this comment.

What the hell is trolling anyway I'm a little out on the whole internet lingo

Spike · 07-28-2006, 04:45 PM

trolling is when you post crap basically with the sole intention of stirring up peoples reactions. No bike, no commenting on gear!!!

Stop trying to keep up. You're more likely to wreck when trying to keep up with a more experienced rider. Ride at your own pace.

Ice-is-Scary · 07-28-2006, 07:13 PM

Well that makes sense but I also find it comforting to ride behind him, I have no idea how fast you can corner a bike comfortably, I have no street experience so having someone pace me gives me a good idea. I just see him take a corner and I take it 15mph less or so and it feels decent, I think it's better for me to watch a bike go around a turn faster than I'm about to than just guess. I'm not pushing it as hard as you might think

NinjaSnake · 07-28-2006, 07:19 PM

Thats a nice looking bike, keep it that way

Sweet bike. Yeah it's a total bitch commuting with full leathers, especially during the summer but sometimes, sacrifices are made.

I wear leather jacket, helmet, full gaunlet gloves, jeans and shoes when i go to school (summer) The community college is only about 5 blocks down so yeah.. plus it's SUPER hot in the classroom so no way in hell im wearing full pants gear. Same goes for commuting around the university when the semester starts. All close range stuff I dont really bother with the pants. I should though... If im going anywhere more than 5 miles, then yeah .. pants go on. You'll find what works and will get the hang of it.
