Motorcycling is a skill
not a lifestyle.
If
you don't ride in the rain you don't really ride. Helmet laws suck
because they interfere with natural selection. Advertiser product
reviews are just advertising. If loud pipes save lives imagine what
learning to ride that thing would do. Could've, would've, should've is
not an internal dialogue you want to have while sliding into a
guardrail. Or a tree. The most expensive protection is cheaper than
reconstructive surgery.
Never compromise. Ride safe.
