A picture of me on the bike. This is really just me being vain, checking myself out in my awesome jacket. Back protector and armor coming in this week! They have been back ordered since January.
Don't have official riding pants yet, so yes. They're a lot harder to find used in my size, and I'm too cheap to buy a new pair. It doesn't help that most of my rides are really short (school is a mile away, work is 3 miles away), so I would spend more time changing than riding once pants enter the equation.
Confirmed. It is WAY NICER than my old car, with some TRD clutch, exhaust, wheels, and something else. On top of all this, the gas mileage seems to be better. I'm not used to the clutch yet, so I'm getting wheel spin all the way up to 3rd gear. Makes me feel like I'm 17.
I changed the brake pads on my bike last week. And gave the full set its first full workout; quick stopping from 60 mph to zero as a turn light switched from yellow to red. My rear tire is about bald, so it locked up, and as my front pads were really bedding in for the first time, the front end was shuddering like hell. Despite the oscillating tail and seizuring front end, I felt pretty calm about the whole ordeal. I guess that's a good sign?
