A bit of googling came up with this page, which seems plausible for how that fairing might look on the bike: http://members.fortunecity.com/cb900f/81cb9f01/81cb9f1a.htm I like it - would love some hand protection, non-electric gloves only do so much. Jeremy On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 11:33 PM,

Today was a great day; rode to a football game with my wife (scored free parking due to the bike!). Our team won the game - we met in school and I now work for the university. Then, when we got home, she said that riding the motorcycle is a lot more fun than she thought it would be! This was

You can still do that in NC as well, but the safety course gets you out of the DMV test. So no, you don't need the test to get your motorcycle endorsement. However, I wanted to be familiar with riding (limited as it was in the course) prior to getting my endorsement, and I didn't want to go to

+1 It's NOT a good feeling to have the engine sputter and die while on a 45mph divided road at night in traffic and not have practiced that. That was also the first time I had to switch to reserve and I wasn't aware how the engine would react (it was also at ~135 miles into the tank and I wasn't

I took the BRC/MSF on a 250, then bought a 750. I think the 750 seat is about an inch higher and also wider than the 250. The 750 is also noticeably heavier than the 250, but as Kyle said, if you keep it upright you should be fine. It's a great bike for commuting. Jeremy On Thu, Jan 20, 2011

Ok, thanks for the extra information. Right now the only things I can think of are tire pressure drop or tire failure (which would include tire coming off of rim), or brake failure (overheating brakes, brake cable/line failure, worn pads). Those probably aren't rare enough though... Jeremy
