I'm not going to lull myself into thinking that bright colours and bright lites are going to save my butt. So no - I don't ride with my brights on. I wear mostly black gear and I ride a black bike. Haven't even had so much as a close call in over 25 years. I think it's dangerous to have people ...

Worst and last accident was in 1981 (knock on arborite)...

SVA - inexperienced rider induced.
Bike damage: bike was a write off.
Body damage: numerous bone fractures (sorry no exrays to show ya :roll: ), torn ligaments and bruises. It was an 'up-down' hit and not a slide so no road rash ...

What!? :shock: No metric conversion for us Canucks?

I live life in the 110-130 zone (that would be in those CDN kilometers per hour... or 65-80mph). But I live rural so there's alot of highway miles.

Seems to me by your list you've already done your homework. Any one of them would be a good choice. If price is a concern the SV is the cheapest (less expensive :roll: ) one. I'm so passe tho - I still like the full faired look.

Let us know what you decide... with pics natch! :righton:

Ooooooo! Sorry - but I just HATE that. I mean really, does Fred have the same attitude about riding as Burt? Or Wendy the same attitude about riding as Samantha?

I like riding for alot of reasons but one of them is that I don't like to be ...
