it where i get all my gear and they have really low prices. i roll with a hjc cl-15 orbit helmet, it’s d.o.t .and Snell approved and it only cost $70. i have a Moto GP Perimeter Jacket and Moto GP Pylon Gloves that cost $40 for the jacket and $30 for the gloves and the jacket has CE approved armor in the elbows and shoulders and it came with a soft foam back protector that i upgraded to a CE approved unit( it only cost like $18 for the CE pad) and the gloves are full leather gantlet style with double palm and knuckle pads. sofar i havent found any pants that fit right, mostly b/c i only have a 30″ inseam (hey look at me with stubby legs) and most riding pants are more to the tune of 34″, so for now i ware some heavy weight work jeans with knee/shin guards underneath. as for shoes i ware well over and stiff in the ankle steel toed work boots, until i can find some actual riding boots that feel right…

Hyosung has a bad rap for breaking/having missing parts so personally i wouldn’t go there, Buell and especially Honda have good track records so I’d go that way if i were you. Personally I’d get the Honda, but I’m very comfortable with a 600cc bike and i really like the style of that particular bike. though I’ve never ridden one I’ve heard that the Buell has an extremely smooth and even power band, also it is belt drive meaning less maintenance and no lube or tensioning of the chain as it has an spring loaded automatic tensioning system.

hope this helped in some way

[smadaakram]

it’s really a matter of preference when it come to sport or cruiser. u need 2 sit on some bikes and see what feels good 2 u

I’ve had my learners for a month now, and i want to take the msf course really bad, but i work night shift and can’t get my work schedule and any of the local classes to work together : ( so i’ll just have to get mine the old fashioned way.

well thats awesome! i would like to install some on my bike as well but was kind of apprehensive b/c i don’t want to loose visibility. how much did they cost ?

[smadaakram]

awesome review! even tho I’ve never ridden one, i love the way the s50 looks and I’ll prob look into getting one next summer since I’m really wanting a cruiser bike.

my local community college has the same class structure but they want $150

sounds like a good plan. since u do have some experience, it’s not like u have no idea what ur doing. u alone know what bike inspires confidence and fits well, and thats whats most important. it would prob be a good idea to ride the bike u are planing on trading for prior to trading, just to see if it lives up to you’re expectations and so that u won’t be disappointed and back in the same boat.

the only reason we have the freedoms we have is because of the brave men and women of the armed forces of the USA. All those who fell in battle, served, and are now serving deserve everybody’s total respect and admiration!

some steel toe work boots are really quite similar to riding boots in the protection they offer
