Goggles?

Does anyone have any reccomendations for a decent pair of goggles? I picked up a pair off of newenough.com and frankly they're exactly what I paid for them. Cheap. And the policy says no return (I wonder why?). No biggie, but I'd like to have a good pair. What I dont like is the cheap foam that cush...

I've thought about carrying some extra in a bottle in a backpack because my reserve switch doesnt work, however the image of a fireball sliding down the road keeps me from doing it. Seriously, I've been fine for 2 years using the trip to track my range and I fill up when it's getting close to my mag...

I agree, probably just an overflow in case you overfill your tank. My old Honda had 3 or 4 tubes underneath it, going to the tank, the carbs, etc.

On some bikes you'll see a small hole around the gas cap that is connected to that hose; itt'll keep gas from going all over your tank.

Hough has a page or so about time of day vs accident frequency. I cannot remember the safer of the two times to ride home and dont have my copy handy, but I'm sure someone with a copy will chime in.

You might want to consider picking up a reflective vest.

The 10,000 miles could also be that the odometer rolled over. As mentioned, 100,000+ is typical for these bikes.

I wouldnt buy it for that $$.

Motorcycle cruiser magazine had an article about this a couple of months ago. The author talked about where to find appropriate sized gear as well as a device that would keep them upright in case they fell asleep on longer rides. I think his/her criteria was also that they must be able to touch the ...
