Thanks for the comment Iamjustifyd! But I plan to ride after I have a baby... so I dont' think if I'll be selling it, but I'll trade you. The 250 Ninja is calling me!! I wasn't sure if I was going to get blasted with my thread... I guess to me riding a motorcycle has inherent risks.. no mater how ca...

I have to say... I've seen this topic over and over in the last few months... and wanted to say something... but didn't. Not too sure what is making me speak my mind. I think it's irresponsible to ride while pregnant... 4 weeks pregnant to 9 months... any accident on a motorcycle is serious. Why wou...

It's normal, but something you'll overcome. I was in tears by noon the 1st day of my MSF... I thought this isn't for me. I was scarred out of my mind.. sure I was going to hurt myself or someone else. (My MSF course taught things out of order, which is why I felt out of control). My husband was on t...

Yeah, don't do the steel toe boots... at my MSF they were not allowed... I think those leather boots you were talking about will do just fine for the MSF and then you'll understand the feeling of shifting. You can get decent moto boots for $150. I have both an AlpineStar and Icon Jacket. They are ve...

I have two women's motorcycle jackets... White ICON Bombshell leather, which fits so nicely, has a removable liner, so it's nice for the spring and fall. It's long enough in the torso and is adjustable at the waist. I want to wear it when i'm not riding... http://www.metricbikes-superstore.com/icon_...

I love it, I sat on it last weekend... and I'm tempted to trade up! Maybe next year, I think I'l keep the 125cc for another year ... but it looks like a sweet bike. I'm going to look for a ride day to try it out!

I had the same question as you when I bought my bike back in the spring of this year. The Ninja new in May was over $6k and it wasn't the new styling that's offered, while the 125 was $3400, had many more bells and whisles and was much cheaper. So I went with the 125 and love it...I guess it depends...

I agree with John - unmarked streets here have max 3 hour parking (talking about the suburbs). Nobody complies with that, my neighbours park on the street rather than their own driveway 24 hours a day. But every once in a while they come around and ticket everyone. Being 2 hours away from Montreal, ...

Will definately go back, they are currently trying to stock the Draggin Jeans, and those I would rat...

I have the other icon tank bag - premier: http://www.rideicon.com/product_details.jsp?category=&id=5836 Love it, Love it! My tank is too small for the one you are considering, otherwise I would have gotten it. It does have the neoprene bottom and it has not scratched my tank. It's very well made...
