General Banter / Re: 12V Power Take-Off/Cigarette Socket
« on: April 01, 2011, 02:23:42 PM »
say buddy, i took the leads for my battery tender and found a plug in socket at orileys maybe that plugs into the battery tender leads. i use to tuck it under the seat of my 650. was under $10. worked great!!

i can shoot a photo if it helps, or you can see it when u see me.

Greg, makes sense. i thought if i did the classes i could get some closer feedback to habits i may have that could use work or tips to get better . At this point i dont have any plans for track days, just the two school days. (could be the same, never been to yet)

in for the 5/15 and 6/5. thanks for the help people.
how strict are they on gloves and the wrist ?? i have some AS that cover the wrist bone so they are higher on the outside, think http://www.alpinestars.com/Octane_SMoto_Glove/pd/c/141/np/141/p/356706.html  will these do ??
should find something safer but at the time my jacket was funny. i also have first gear tgp tundra gloves, but they would get hot as heck in the warmer months.
(should have some nice boots by then, if i can make up my mind between the cobra and vertigo)

thanks again,
Joel

General Banter / looking for pants and need some advise please
« on: March 07, 2011, 04:59:48 PM »
 ??? Jackets are rev'it ignition and a first gear kathmandu, as some know i ride in jeans and redwing work boots, everything else is good i think. Looking for a pant for rides, not so much commuting. Thoughts are say a rev'it gear or some others, first gear ht air, Olympia air glide3. Looking for feedback from you guys for what works, i know my "regulars" like leather from what is being worn. Venting and comfort is important to me. these are 200+ for the pant or so, would hate to learn 10 feet into something bad that i made a bad choice.

boot advise would be great too, thats next i think. Nothing to crunchy i think though.
thanks so much for the time, and any input would be great.

where do i find information on a dress code ??
i ware boots, full face, jacket, gloves.  What about pants, are jeans OK or do i need something else. Is it strict about jackets and gloves ??
i have over the wrist bone, but not gauntlet gloves (except for my tpg cold weather ones)

Talked to a local dealer, they told me everyone crashes and full zips might work for tech.
I don't have riding pants, and the crashing was a concern to me.   still haven't finalized my dates yet, but looking at 2 including my super newbie first time. Sure don't want to plan on crashing. I'm old, know pavement hurts, and last but not least, i cant keep up with girls. does knowing this help keep me upright ??

Otherwise i can get feedback from some of the great riders here on the board on some rides. Just thought there might be more attention during the "school" days.

thanks much for the time,
Joel

didn't have that option when i got my c14, otherwise it would have been a strong contender. my c14 feels huge some days, and a stretch to the ground most days for me.
oops, forgot about the wife again, needed a c14 for the both of us to ride, but so far its only been me.

the feel was much like the 650, with bar height, angle, things like that. After my seat was sent to Spencer my 650 was a comfy ride. (first bike so limited experience)

the cases will be very nice, they look like the givi plx cases.
I am surprised more people don't have tail bags or something, i always am putting something in there.

salt = bad , is a quick wash all it takes or it gets powdery and clings everywhere ??
i have soft hot and cold water in the garage, i suspect salt removal is not as easy as dust or dirt ?
hate to eat my bike away for an hour on iffy roads.

hey guys, some of you know me and my riding. i am looking to improve my skills and kicking around zalusky to help with that. I know several of you are familiar with the school, instructors, things like that. i have taken the basic safety when i got my endorsement, but nothing else yet.

Please, anything would be great. Posts here or pm's are good either way.
Thanks much for the time,
Joel
