Yeah, but I had a lot to do with that as I have the Arai RX-7 corsair Wraith

I've had several friends crash test them and they said it felt like a pillow when there head hit the ground. Another friend crashed in an ICON and he said it felt like someone hit him in the head with a baseball bat. All crashes are different though. I borrowed these images from another forum I am on where one of the guys (not someone I know personally) hit a BMW X5 head on. He is fine and suffered a black eye and some broken teeth. If you notice the mouth vent it missing. It was in the grill of the BMW.


I've been sold on Arai for years but any dot/snell helmet is good. I also have never worn anything but a full face helmet. According to a German study by Otte and Felton, 34.6% of all impacts to helmets in crashes occurred to the full face bar.

That is awesome that you have got her hooked. Once a person learns to ride....they usually end up being a motorcycle owner and a life long rider.
Congrats. Here is mine...2006 FZ1000. It pushes about 140hp.

I guess its time for the new canister. Muzzy?
Eventually but not sure what yet. I like Micron and Akrapovich. She said it will be Carbon Fiber though.

Funny thing is I never suggested it. She just came up with the idea on her own. I think she just saw how much I enjoyed it. Nice bike by the way. My neighbor had one of those.
nice pics!
here i am at Deal's Gap, NC on my 04 Gixxer 750. motorcycle nirvana.
318 turns in 11 miles.
tangman, you are in florida right? check out these forums i am on :
www.cycleforums.com (sportbikes / regional - south florida)
www.soflasportbikes.com
i am aquapython600 / aquapython on there.
Thanks. I am going to get up there some day but I hear that THP almost has it shut down or they just make it not worth riding.
I am in Florida. I may check those out but I don't have time for the forums I'm on now.
Is that a double bubble you have on there? How tall are you and what's the difference. I'm thinking a Zero Gravity Dark Smoke.

I've heard a lot about that guy. He is a local boy that has six cameras mounted on his Gold Wind and for around $60 will follow you through the gap and record you. They say he can hang with about 90% of the sportbike riders.

I love my bike... 87 hurricane. light skyline blue, but looks silver from afar. Thing has like 132 hp and the loudest pipes of any sport bike i've heard. Thing cruises too. Not bad for being as old as I am. Plus it only has about 16k miles and is in great condition. Doesn't have all the flash of new bikes, but it has everything else (mainly speed and sound).

The Hurricane was the bike that was brought out to kill the Ninja back then. It was stupid fast. Sort of the Busa of that era. Very nice bike and only 16k miles is amazing.

Well congrats to you for converting a female to the world of sportbikes. Congrats to her for opening her mind and converting.
It's been 4 days now, has she ridden it yet? How'd it go?
Why would she be mad if you took and posted pics? She needs to show off her new skeelz!

She has been riding it inside our community which has light traffic and we are going out to some new roads not far away that has very light traffic later today if we have time. She is doing very well and just taking her time. She just doesn't like pictures of herself. I have no idea why.

Smart.
She is a female, that's prolly why she doesn't like pictures of herself. I don't think there is a female on this planet that does, lol...
