check out the fog city inserts... I had one on my Arai and LOVED it... the other nice thing is it tints itself... so you don't have to wear sunglasses or switch between a tinted visor and a clear one

I'm not sure... I just know we're talking about riding. I'll letcha know once we decide (and of course, that's the one day this week we're supposed to possibly get rain, so it might be last minute... )

Awesome choice of bikes Neebs I've been drooling over the red '08 I've had sitting in the showroom for a while but I've got to be practicle so I'm on an FZ1 as soon as I sell the VTX.

You should have held out for an '09 though...it's going to be awesome!!! Of course they're also going to be $12,500. I can't wait for January to get here so I can see one in person.

Enjoy the new ride girl!

It's the right bike as long as you are only doing 12.5 mile trips, anything over that and it is going to kill you. Just kidding.

Congrats on the new bike. They are nice.

It is a spectacular color... I like it much better than a "true" red. In the sunlight, it's just

Actually I put about 154 miles on her today. If not for the HUGE temperature drop and the fact that I was soaked to the skin, it probably would've been pretty comfortable.
