I used to wear a coverall style Rain Rider in bright yellow. I'd wear it
over my uniform to and from work,rain or shine. Talk about Hi-Vis!!
My co-workers referred to it as " the Banana Suit", look at my last name and
you can imagine the permutations......

I like to answer silly riding gear questions with like silly answers:
...That suit looks hot: skin grafts don't
...aren't those helmets expensive, why pay so much?: An ER/ICU bed costs quite a bit more...
or earlier this week from a sandals-shorts-teeshirt squid on a GSXR:
hey are you a fag? that purple looks really gay man (Joe Rocket Ballistic jacket): Can you see me?: yeah man, from a mile away!: Ok.

While seeking out new tires at a local shop, I started to remember some of
the things that I've heard people say since I got the A7. Starting with the
"Quest for tires."
"KLR, Huh? Not too many of those around. A 50/50 tire? Those bikes are
scary off-road because they are so heavy. You need a street tire or this
pure knobby and just suck up the loss in gas mileage on the street."
A classic and my favorite. Yeah, isolate the customer adn make them
feel like they have a crappy bike. I'll never shop there again. Ah,
customer service.
"Hey bro, nice ride."
Southern California speak for "Excuse me, I like your motorcycle."
"How come you're the only one I see wearing that stuff?"
Semi-disgusted co-worker commenting on my full protective gear.
Got any others?

"Why would you buy a bike like that in the city?"

Help, My bike is running Hot!
I have a '99 with 3100 miles on it. I just adjusted
the valves, they now measure in the middle on spec. I
then changed the oil to 10-40 Mobil syn motorcycle
oil. I washed the bike and cleaned the chain. It was
70 in Massachusetts and I went out for a ride after I
did all this work. I was doing about 50mph with a few
stop lights. The temp needle was on the hot side,
about 3/4. At each light the fan would kick on. I
would get it up to about 50 and it still would not
drop to the middle. Before today I have driven the
bike in 90 degrees with out a problem. Was it
something I did when I did all this work? Any
suggestions would be great.
Thank you
Ken
