hey all,
I have an '08 night train in denim black w/ smooth wheel option on its way to me as I type this.
I've ridden on and off my whole life....lots of moto-X and off road stuff.
I love to ride. I am in a pretty good riding state now (Arizona) so decided to take the plunge on my own little dream bike.
Definetly have a fear of going down on the asphault, but hopefully that will subside with time on the actual rode.....again...mostly an off road guy. Dirt and stuff isn't as rough to go down on and lets not forget about the awesome drivers out there.
So, I am looking into a joe rocket milspec jacket b/c its padded and has the built in reflective vest...I am also in the military so it's useful. (any comments or reviews??) and yes, I will be the "dork" in a full face brain bucket. I like the idea of padding and what not...(lol, forgive the off road mentality)
I'm trying to figure out where to store stuff b/c bags on this thing look like.....well, just not my taste on this kind of bike. Probably going to be a backpack type deal.......kind of a pain in the butt.
Anyway, hello, see ya around.
