I wear the tourmaster mesh pants, they zip into my tourmaster jacket. These are not overpants, the overpants they offered at new enough didnt have hip pads. I still wear them over my jeans, I just have to take my boots off to slip in and out of them. I think this is decent protection on pavement and...

I say use hand signals as well. I have been doing so for a few weeks since I got a dual sport with the signals removed. I may put some back on it one day, but until then hand signals will suffice.

I had a brain fart and decided to do a panic stop -- which ended up in the middle of the intersection. No problem - nothing coming the o...

Definately a work of art, and I dont really care for choppers other than to look at them.

Any links to view the other bikes in the show?

I would love to build my own ride someday. It may not be too far off, I have most of the tools I need.

The belt ...
