Tips For Safe Interstate Riding - 1st Road Trip

[SacramentoMike]

Safe interstate riding?
Here's a few suggestions.

First, a helmet. Hell, no - don't wear no helmet - all they do is make your head heavier and your neck sore, not to mention cut your peripherial vision. Just get a cool pair of sunglasses. They'll protect you just fine.

Gloves. Get the bitchin' fingerless type.

Upper body protection? 2 words to live by: Wife Beater.

Lower body - shorts, preferably camo cargo shorts.

Foot wear? Flip-flops are the ONLY way to go.

Riding style: You've got a very fast motorcycle, so use that speed at all times. Don't be shy - tailgate and flash your lights when a poky cager is holding you up, lane split as often as possible.

Oh - and if you see a hotty, be sure to pull a wheelie.

Don't forget, if you see any state troopers, impress them with your speed. It may save some other FJR rider a ticket, since he won't even bother trying to catch up, once he's seen what you can do.

(Sorry, but it seemed this thread had degenerated from the original purpose anyway, especially since the poster already took the trip. In a truck.) :huh:

Ah, well - now I know I can ride anywhere safely. I mean, if he can do THAT then I can at least ride safer than that!
