I kknow that a heavy key ring is bad for a car ignition because it hangs. I don’t think you can damage your ignition with that number of keys, but there is the annoyance factor and the paint around my ignition is getting a little scraped up from my house key waving around. Sometimes my house key gets stuck in the gap between the ignition plate and the handlebar mount too.

I just paid $200 for a first service (600 miles). I may need one more oil change before I put my bike to bed in early Nov.
On on aside, after your first service be aware that you will be riding a whole new bike again. My clutch, throttle, front brake and choke are all very different feeling after having the cables tightened.

Welcome!

Buy a Suzuki GS500f and you can be my new best friend Just don’t look at the pictures on the Suzuki website because their photographer should be shot. Can I get a hellya, spaz?

If you like the Ducati 696 and think you can handle a bike that size, consider the Aprilia Shiver. It’s virtually the same bike as the Monster power and spec wise, but liquid cooled.

Edited to say: My husband has a Shiver (his first motorcycle in 10+ years) and while he is the first to admit it is a very powerful bike, he also is enjoying it immensely. You just need to be a grownup about it.

I wonder if people know they’re riding a bike that could be renamed the Nagging Bitch. That’s even better than calling it a Viagra!

I had zero experience as well. From being around motorcycles I knew where everything was, but that was about it.

[ShannonG]

You have a very hot car. Thanks for the info on the 250r.

[ShannonG]

Congratulations!

Tell me why you’re unloading your 250r so fast. I’m curious because it was one of the bikes I originally looked at but couldn’t get due to availablity issues. Then I saw a fella on a 250r try to beat traffic from a light and the acceleration seemed, well, unimpressive. I think he was a very new rider and he wasn’t revving it up much though, which I have read is a must.

[ShannonG]

Is that smog in that last picture?

[ShannonG]

All you need to know is chicks dig guys on motorcycles. ‘Nuf said.

[ShannonG]

Welcome to the cool side of the street!

[ShannonG]

You will absolutley love it, guaranteed. Just don’t try to ride it cold!
