Aiea, what time will you be there?  I'd come by if anyone will be there at 5pm but I have to leave by 6pm to go to a 7pm graduation in town.

For sure 5PM -

Quack!  Sweet bike mokeanne :)  Always preferred the race styled bikes because the riding position puts you leaned over, on your feet in the running position.  I already had a back injury too - so the legs take most of the shock vs. cruiser where you're on your ass and road vibes and bumps go straight up your spine.  No bueno for me unless it's a supermotard or something where you can stand up.
 
ps. street bike gears go the wrong way to begin with.  GP shift pattern mo betta'  ;D

yep, the positioning is a lot more aggressive on the duc. it's great for the weekends when there's a lot less traffic, but a b!tch for a commute. the suspension, clutch, and heat will kill you. a gsxr is much more of an improvement for the day to day travel.

i've always wanted to go to the motogp races, but every time we try to plan it out something comes up.

I passed the MSF course just to learn the basics of how to ride a motorcycle but I would never ride one in hawaii!  I just dont think its safe with some of the worst drivers in the world here in hawaii.  I'd ride on a track but my life is worth more then riding a bike on the street here.  I've seen a few bikers go down and very few of them got back up...  I mean when you see 70-90 year old asian people which can't even speak or read english driving huge SUV's and trucks, well that just scares the hell out of me.  500 lb motorcycle vs a 3000-5000lb cager, the cager is always gonna win!

good luck to everyone which rides, you are braver then I am!



P.S.  It always amuses the hell out of me when I see guys and girls riding without leathers and protection (helmet/shoes/gloves).  When they go down, I hope they got extra skin and perhaps bone cuz if you think jeans and a tshirt are gonna protect you from asphalt when you go skidding across it at 25-70mph, you got another thing comming!

Agreed.  I'm against helmet laws (if you have a death wish, by all means...), but I won't ride without one.

I also feel confused when I see someone without even sunglasses to stop the wind in the eyes.  I mean, now, you're just asking for trouble.

I have a Green Ninja 650R and been riding for 7 years.  Bought it to make the commute a little more exciting, and save money with better gas milage and save wear and tear on the car.  I ocassionally participate in group rides a couple times a year, so I'm in for one.

I'm late to this thread. I ride a 2009 ZX6R. I admit that I drive fast and aggressive at times, but I'm just trying to get ahead and away from the traffic.

The first guy that got me interested in motorcycles told me, "Any instructor worth his salt will tell you to go at least 5mph faster than normal traffic."

The guys at the LCC Basic Riders Course said to slow down if people are getting aggressive, but I always kept the words of the first guy in mind.
