Thanks for the offer Luke, and the clarification. If my helmet would accept the CX-1 shield, I would've jumped at that. Hopefully someone else here can use it!

I'm in California, and I can confirm that filling up the tank is a pain. The nozzles have a hose that slides down the nozzle and deal around the fuel inlet while you fill the tank. The idea is that...

I gotta jump into this: I had a horrible time finding riding jeans that fit. Turns out Cycle Gear's store brand (Bilt) has a pair of womens riding jeans. They come in normal blue or black, and are...
