Yeah, I hear this happening a lot around here with Suomys. I just bring my shit in with no matter where I go.

Grats on the extreme. I just took mine out for its first spin today and I must say I'm extremely dissapointed in the amount of windnoise(nothing earplugs can't help) but the comfort is just amazing.

I have only been riding for a few months but I throw my 2 cents in. I went with Icon's Accelerant gloves(short). My hands don't hurt after riding for a few hours. I have put about a 1000 miles on them and have had no problems with them. I'm happy with them. BTW, Adam this is Todd(Teal crx). I picked up a 99 cbr 600 f4 dirt cheap for a starter. I've been looking for someone to ride with. Let me know if you and the guys get together to go ride I would love to join. You can IM me. Im on here all the time I just don't post that much.

Ah cool man! Good to see you're still alive and kicking!

We can definitely get together and ride. Have you been riding long enough to be comfortable riding in a large pack, or would you prefer to ride in a small group? It's probably better to start small if you're a new rider. In fact, large groups are often times more of a pain in the ass anyway really... I've ridden in huge groups before and have found that you really have to be careful who rides with you... There are a lot of guys out there who don't ride as well as they think they do and they push harder than their riding skill really allows for, and they end up crashing trying to keep up with someone faster. There's ALWAYS someone like that. Whether or not they crash, well, that's up to fate. My big thing is that everyone should ride at their own speed... I've always stopped to let people catch up if there were any stragglers, and no one will get left behind.

We can definitely ride ASAP! I rode to work today as a matter of fact.

Who, me?

I live in Roanoke. Can't just stop in

There aren't any shops here that really carry any decent gear...
