Thankfully it was at low speeds, I was taking a turn and some rear end in a top hat decided the best place to throw out his dirty soapy water was the drain in the middle of the street. Luckily I invested in a protective jacket literally the week before, so I'm okay. Just a couple of small scrapes.

Darth Llama posted:...and didn't feel comfortable riding it back the 70 miles to her house today. Not being comfortable riding something 70 miles when you intend on riding it 700 or 7000 miles. A) Wait until after your training course (or whatever) to pick it up. B) Ride the 70 miles at a pace you're comfortable with, on a route you're comfortable with. Yes, it will take longer than if you just ask your friend Darth Llama to do it for you, but on the one hand, that's part of the adventure - and on the other, riding it for 2.5 hours at 35 MPH (with breaks) will give you the big chunk of seat time to *get* comfortable with your new purchase in a way that 15x 10 minute trips to the store never will. Of course, you've got to keep in mind that I'm the guy that flew to DFW to pick up a bike that was definitely *not* in pristine condition (though it had been mechanically gone through pretty thoroughly) and rode it 700+ miles home 14 days after passing the MSF. I may not be the shiniest example to point to. I like the Burgman line - especially the 650, which will apparently do close to 120 MPH. =) Kenny Rogers fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Jul 14, 2010 |
