    Trying to get back on two wheels

    You're not wrong, but can't pull the trigger quite yet.

    I wish I could, but I don't have your asking price quite yet :(

    What crash bars are these?

    Cool. Thank you for the information. Definitely. Going to have to do quite a bit of research, getting into a whole different style of bike and I didn't realize just how deep this world went.

    What crash bars are these?

    Is there a difference in protection between all the different brands of crash bars offered, or is it more about trying to find the best price?

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    Nice! Thank you so much. So the Goldwing Drill Team won't have an issue with someone not on a Goldwing? :D Crown King is actually one of the places I want to go to the most and then Tower Mountain at night! I've only been living here since 2016 and haven't really left the city except to go...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    I hear the best practice is to leave one foot, ideally the left, on the peg and flat foot just one foot rather than try to reach the ground with both feet. I think the idea there is that if the ground is slick or has poor traction you have a bigger foot print and more sure footing than being on...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    Thanks so much! And yeah, I imagined they wouldn't be cheap. I fully expect to pay $1k+ for a pair of boots, gloves, some decent riding pants or jeans, a jacket, and helmet. Already have my eye on the Rev'it Gibson just for putting around town and the Sand 3 for long trips and the HJC RPHA 70...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    I had no idea the local PD did anything like this. That's awesome! But it's definitely something I won't be able to attend due to not having a bike currently. But it's something to look at! And I was totally going to ask if you lived in the PHX area at some point since you seem to be familiar...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    Thanks for clarifying some of the differences between the gens! Surprisingly my endorsement is still valid according to my new license I got issued this year. I did consider taking an MSF course again as a refresher, but what I was really hoping for was to find a Moto Gymkhana group here in...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    I sat on a 2018, non-ES model at the local dealership a few months back that was strapped down, so it was just on two wheels and neither the kick or center stand. I don't know what position the seat was in though, but I couldn't flat foot it. Was on the balls of my feet. Hopefully the ground...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    I think I just have to remember that it's a heavy beast when moving slowly. If I can maybe I'll hit an empty carpark with it before making the long haul back home to get a feel for it in slow maneuvers.

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    My only concern is that it'll be a bike that's a few states away or maybe even clear across the country. My only riding experience was that Z1000 6-ish years ago with only a bit of highway time. So that means I'll either have to fly and ride back home or pay to have it shipped, which I imagine...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    Thanks so much for the info! I'm looking around in my area for one, but right now it's definitely just shopping and looking. Need to save up a bit more before I can get my S10.

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    What other improvements were there? I haven't found any 2014+ S10's available in my area on Craigslist, and I didn't find any used ones at the local dealers is my problem.

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    Been a few years since I've been on a bike, was on a Kawasaki Z1000 back then. Looking to get back on two wheels and the S10 really has my eye. The only question is, is a 2014+ model what I should be looking for considering the ES and CC, or should I not worry about ti?
