That could be taken a lot of ways when speaking of motorcycles!!
Took the nighthawk on her maiden voyage (well, with me anyway) after getting my insurance done over lunch today :) It was fairly uneventful (in the good way) Was quite cold blooded at first but once she warmed up then she ran well. There's a nice S curve on the way to work that I'll have to get use to. I took it pretty slow today. Just have to get the hang of it again and stay aware of what's happening around me.

I've got to pick up a decent jacket yet, saving up some cash and watching the closeouts on newenough.com ;)

Don't wait too long. My gear saved a few body parts a couple of weeks ago. Other similar stories here. Get pants too. Mine got shredded from the knees down. Better than my legs. ATGATT. |

Have you tried competition accessories.com? They have some good jackets. Cheap too. I got mine from there.
