I know exactly what you mean about driving in Houston. I've been driving here for about 5 years. Read my first post about how I almost died on the way home from buying the ******************** thing...

Is it unusual to not be able to see almost anything out of the mirrors besides my hands? I feel like there should be some sort of length adjustment to get past my hands, but there's not that I can tell.

Also, Im stll waiting on the pants question...

Thanks for popping in!

You're right, it's Matt.

I know what you mean. I just about ran into someone yesterday. Really close call. The closest one yet.

I'm not sure about the pants. I wear jeans, but if they're too tight and uncomfortable, send them back. You need to be able to worry about what's going on around and not how tight your pants are hugging your nuts. LOL

Sounds like you need to move your mirrors up more if you're looking at your hands. Move them out and up some.

Hey bud, hello from NW Houston! I just got my first bike and it's a black CBR250. My first mods for me are definitely going to be frame sliders, no doubt. Also I went with a GMAX helmet that has a LED light on the back of it, and it's awesome for night or early morning driving. You know how Houston can be, as far as drivers, stay safe out there
