  lowrider, I've got an all in one waterproof jobby, the elastic in the arms is so tight it near on cuts me blood supply off so I have to wear it UNDER my biking jacket AND... as I is a female it's bloody tricky getting out of it when I wanna go to the lavvy  Embarrassed   I wouldn't ride without me leathers on, I've seen the results of gravel rash, and worse, YUCK! and OUCH!   Gs, I tried that too, I must have the most UNwaterproof leather, nothing seems to keep the water out. I think the cow it came from must have lived in a shed all it's life LOL

Excited not the word...Big smile   As its my first and have not ridden for a year cause of a back op recently. I'm looking at a Bandit600 or ER5 for now.  Would really like the ER6-F.  Want a sports but need to get a bit more road savvy first...   Any other ideas for a forgiving first bike...?

  Hi chele, welcome to the forum. It's ok the chat room is sometimes a but busy and difficult to keep up with. If you don't type for a while the 'babysitter bot' (my name for it) thinks you've fallen asleep and puts you to bed lol     Kwak Wacko
