For a more oval fit instead of round, try a KBC helmet Model VR-1. Like yourself, I had a lot of trouble finding a helmet that fit well and comfortably, until I found my KBC. The KBC costs a little over $300. CDN. I got a black one and then I put some reflective decals on it. The decals I got are bl...

I have no desire to freak out the wife. Going for a ride together is one of the reasons I like to ride(but not the main one :wink: ). It's not challenging to adapt the ride to a passenger.... it's just slower :lol: It does disrupt the flow of the ride sometimes to have the bike standup in a corner,...

My biggest concern is that when I stop for a red light the person behind me won't stop in time. So, I try to make sure I leave plenty of room in front of me when I stop, I pulse the brake light hoping it will catch the attention of the car coming up behind me and I look in the mirror to see if the v...

Weather
old-n-slow, it looks like your weather forecast for today was right. It was mostly a nice day here today. I took advantage of it and "found" errands to do...not by the most direct route, though. :) putput, I was at the Motor Vehicle Office today. If you are planning on taking your road tes...

When I still had my learner's, my friend and I were trying to get home before dark. (No night riding with a learner's) The speed limit was 100kmh (60mph) and I was doing 110kmh. No vibration. At 120kmh I felt vibration and I brought it back to 110kmh. Apparently the vibration settles down after 120k...

When I took the course, at first I thought it was just me who couldn't get the hang of the throttle or shifting....but after I got try someone else's bike, I realized it was the bikes from the course.

BuzZz, Even though it may be challenging to modify your style a bit when you have someone on board, your passengers probably appreciate it. It's awful being a passenger and having the wits scared out of you. I had to quit riding with my friend because he couldn't or wouldn't show a little respect f...
