Those of you that ride might want to look into cornering properly. Luckily you have me here to find instructional videos on how to. :whip:

Some good lessons in that one. :thumbsup:

In all reality her " lesson " is incorrect.
For starters you want all your weight on the balls of your feet and very little weight on your bars.
You should be able to lean " on the kickstand not while moving " and maintain yourself on the bike ass shifted with just your knees and legs.
Squats and shits ;D

This is actually how you're supposed to do it. ^^^^^

You will never find me on one of those supergreatninjabikes. I am a low rider man. But I will watch a lesson from her any time she has a new one up.

:word:
I love them.
TBH I don't like super sport at all either. I like the look and the power but I'm a " sport touring " kinda guy.
My next beast will be the Kawasaki ninja 1000
Please don't confuse it with the ZX10
That things an animal. I just want the touring bike :-)

Hey RvR...Is there a Cycle Gear store near you?
I use to be a consultant/Sr District Manager with them: 2006-08.
If there is I would love an honest review.

Hmm cycle gear. Maybe in Orlando
I know the shop that I have is one of the biggest in the nation. All four name brands under one roof is apparently pretty rare.
Let me do a quick google search I'll find the nearest one and slide down there. I'm not doing anything today.
You got some key points you want me to hit?
Edit.
Just ran a check and I have a pretty close one in Sanford on Rheinhart. Give me some key bullet points you want me to hit and I'll slide over there. Wife's bike hunting any way. Maybe I can manipulate this into a " date " hahahahahah im an evil fuck aren't I?

When I worked there I had implemented a few things>
> See if you are greeted when you come in
> See how knowledgeable the people are.
> Take a look at their helmet wall. When I was there we had one complete wall from floor to ceiling with helmets
> What is their hard goods to soft goods ratio (Parts to clothing). When I was there it was a 75/25 ratio.
> They use to have a good selection of tires. Do they still?

> See if you are greeted when you come in I was greeted properly by around three people. When I asked for the guy I spoke to on the phone he stepped forward and introduced himself even remembering my name from about two hours difference. That was a plus.
> See how knowledgeable the people are. Decently, only one thing I knew more about than he did and that's because I ride her every day.
> Take a look at their helmet wall. When I was there we had one complete wall from floor to ceiling with helmets The helmet wall I was kind of disappointed with, they had a nice selection but they weren't the working mans selection. I had to ask for those. They had the $500.00 + shoei helmets all over the place but I would have rather seen some medium and even low priced helmets as well.
> What is their hard goods to soft goods ratio (Parts to clothing). When I was there it was a 75/25 ratio. hard goods im guessing bikes and what not and soft being clothing/gear. The bike selection was mind numbing. They had a lot of product a lot. So much so it was almost uncomfortable, if I wanted to sit it wouldn't happen elbows would be banging against other bikes and what not. The bikes where bad ass but really nut to butt. They also had four wheelers, seadoos/jetskies, dirtbikes, the works. Gear selection and parts where decent as well. Solid sets of matching gear decent pricing. Parts and accessories are solid as well. They even had replacement shocks.
> They use to have a good selection of tires. Do they still?
dunlops, michelin, shinkos, pretty much everything.
Overall it was worth the trip and the date that I got out of it, 8/10 will shop again and will most likely be buying the wifes bike there as well.
Thatguy has all the pictures he'll be posting them up later or tomorrow sometime. I'm an ignoramus when it comes to computers so. You just gotta deal with it for now. :troutSlap:

Cool! Glad you had a good experience. All in all Cycle Gear was a good company started by Dave Bertram (http://www.themotorcyclemag.com/home/reader-profile-dave-bertram-ceo-of-cycle-gear-inc/) who was one of the firsts in off road racing and motor cross.
