Told you it was happening

I'm completely amazed at how little to no buffeting there is at 75mph with my dual sport helmet. Might not even need the windshield I bought for the bike.

Nah, was using a seal mate to get the fork to stop leaking. Just haven't bolted it back on.

Dude, it's ugly in pictures but beautiful in person.

I'll probably stick with a black jacket, but this is totally happening.

 

High viz gezer confirmed.

 

You have no idea. I've been hit quite a few times just during the few times I've ridden my 250 in the city. The more visible I am the better.

Vegas is way more dangerous than Missouri haha

 

Very good point.

Totally forgot you moved already.

 

But given the opportunity for @fatfurious2 blue wheels over highlighter yellow, i'll take the blue every, single, time.

 

Yeah, blinkers, stop signs, and looking in your blind spot does not exist out here apparently lol

The blue looks good. If I didn't get the yellow I was going to get the silver and blue.

 

If i were to choose now, for me it would be a hard decision. I like both!

Edit: im probably going to paint my tank Cement over the winter. So ill have the best of both worlds

 

Hi vis ftw

 

My rain jacket is High-Viz, my airbag vest has 3M reflective stuff sewn into parts of it. I have a reflective sticker on the helmet and I'm going to add some reflective tape when the side cases come in.

 

I guess @Sacrifice and i will just keep squiding and adding camo to our shit

 

That reminds me I need some moar blaze orange for hunting.

 

Airbag vest? Thats pretty cool.

 

I have an older version of http://www.safermoto.com/air-bag-vests/mlv-c/

It's a hell of a lot cheaper then an ambulance ride or hospital stay. It's been deployed 7 times, twice were actual accidents with the vest saving my back from serious injury, the rest were yearly tests and when friends wanted to see it. $22 per CO2 cartridge to re-arm it. They make jackets but I like the vest since I then throw it over whatever riding jacket I'm using that day.

 

Thats pretty cool! I have an icon stryker vest that I wear

 

Guess I don't understand why you wouldn't set the camera angle before climbing

hi-viz what's that?

 

Gonna be high viz sexy.

 

I hit my head a lot lol so i usually knock the camera around. I also like taking it off my helmet and getting pictures when I can

 

So my buddy works at a dealer and they took a 11 speed triple in on trade that they have no interest in selling on the lot (hard sell at a car dealership plus nearing the end of riding season) So they plan on sending it to whole sale to just make their money on it quickly but I figured why the hell not make them an offer on it. Originally said 3k but 4 is a more realistic offer. 2011 white no accidents 8500mi with exhaust/sliders/etc.

So I'm thinking if they accept 4k I can keep it until next spring and just ride it until I sell it. I'm thinking I could easily sell it for 6-7k
