Good point, Saige. I'm actually more comfortable in a leather jacket and helmet than no jacket even in 115 degree heat- it keeps that wind blast off of your skin and you're not as beat down by the U.V. rays; I find I can ride longer. Plus, the thought of instant cauterization from black asphalt is motivation in itself

yes there are a few of us around here in the greater Phx. area, welcome to the forum, don't hesitate to ask questions about mods and maintenance, we all have a good kowledge of what works and what doesn't, ride carefully and watch out for the sand, dirt and other stuff that lurkes at every turn, hope to see you on the road, AZ Hawk riders, we need to get together some summer eve and plan for a fall ride when the weather cools down

Righto man, keep it safe. Did you take the MSF course?
...just remember- the cages are all out to get you, and they will attack when you're not paying attention. The brakes on these bikes are your friend. You'll stop faster than you can scoot out of most situations!

Haha, nice! I love that feeling of "options" when you're on a motorcycle compared to cars. If you need to roll up a wheelchair ramp on a sidewalk, it's always there.
May want to look into some kind of MSF training... you get your licence and a bit off of insurance for a weekend of class, plus may learn a few things that will keep you alive... motorcycles be different than cars!

It's just a thought... people learn different ways but no harm in a crash course and learning good habits early...

Haha, no, tears streaks coming from the corners of the eyes get tiring real fast!
I'm actually a fairly new rider myself, but am out almost everyday as I commute and play on two wheels!
Just be careful, disaster can strike anytime
