Does the influx of new riders worry you?

You people need to get some scooters and discover the lighter side of two-wheel motion.

When the R6 goes track-only I want something like that... but the scooter just isn't suitable for highway.

I plan to get a black 09 ninja 250

Almost all jackets have some type of reflective stripes on them somewhere. I know my JR phoenix jacket has several white strips on it and it's all black/gray except for those and it's pretty visible at night when lights shine on it and such.

Just basically making a point that gear in general makes you more visible than just a white tshirt for example. Although a nice lime green or neon pink Tee wouldn't be so bad either..LOL

but the other thing is... if a bright color could guarentee that all drivers will see you... that'd be great! but you cant... and in the case where they DON'T see you... which seems to approach 100% of the time way too often... I'd rather have that black leather riding jacket than that white T-shirt.

actually we can now graft pig skin on you, sweat glands and all... but then you'll have pig skin and the nasty coarse hair that goes with it.

Textile gear is great stuff it'll save your hide if you go down and personally I'd rather get up and walk away then get skin graphs.

Ride with the SWORD !

I've got just about 10k posts between here and the old stomping grounds. and, truthfully, we really just talk about the same shit over and over again. The only thing keeping it fun is the jack asses that can overlook the drama bullshit and realize a good opportunity to make fun of somebody.

Werd!! Thats all I do is make fun of people... it's all in good fun though. If I'm not busting on you from time to time its because I don't like you plain and simple.
