Subject: RE: Question for motorcycle commuters"Timely" thread... I just this morning registered my wife for a local MSF course in early December (hoping it doesn't get canceled). I'll be taking it a little later. For gear: www.newenough.com -- go there, great deals. I just yesterday bought my wife the HJC Sy-Max II helmet in metalic silver for $224. And I got some other close-out gear really cheap as well. Jacket, pants, gloves... She doesn't know I bought the gear... SHHH! Don't say anything. And I've read a few good books as well -- a couple by Pat Hahn that I highly recommend, and "The Complete Idiots Guide to Motorcycles". And the three attitudes: (1) You are responsible for everything that happens on the road. (2) Assume every one else on the road is TRYING to kill you. (3) Roads are designed to put you down. Note there isn't anything there about MOTORCYCLES being dangerous. Like everything, it's how they're used and the respect they're given. |
