Someone put a post up a while back about a tactic for turning left off a highway that might make you more comfortable for a while. When you need to turn left somewhere but you can't do so right away due to oncoming traffic, keep going straight till you can make a left turn immeadiately. Then back tr...

Thanks for the input. Got it just in time for this high 90s heat wave. I must say it handled the weather better than I thought it would. I like the jacket but I think now I wish I had got it in the Silver

I am 6'6" and 280 lbs. My ride is a 2001 Honda Shadow ACE and I fit pretty comfortable on it. My first bike was a 79 honda 450. I fit pretty well on that too. You should be able to find a pretty nice 750 on the used market to get you started. Then, you can upgrade to the bigger bike if you want...

Hi, I'm 6'6" and 280lbs. I have a Honda Shadow Ace 750 and fit very nicely on it. I haven't even put the forward controls on yet:)

My local shop ordered one of these jackets in a tall size for me. They looked good on paper and in the store. Anyone have any experience with this jacket?

I ended up not pursuing this because it felt fishy. Instead I found a nice 2001 Honda Shadow Ace 750 for $3k. It fits like a glove even for my large frame. Going to go with a Tourmaster Intake 2 mesh riding jacket that comes in tall sizes.

I'm 6'6" and 280 pounds. I just bought a 2001 Honda shadow ACE 750 because I fit really nice on it and it didn't have the donkey kong on a minibike affect. I'll put some 7" control extensions on it to make it even more comfortable. Find a dealer in your area and go sit on some bikes. Make ...

I'm 6'6" and 280 lbs. I am looking to get a new bike too. I went around to a bunch of dealers the other day to sit some bikes and see what felt right. Unfortunately nothing felt really comfortable for me. But, the sportser was the one I was the most comfortable on. It had a higher seat than all...
