get agood road rash kit just in case and if you can get some viscous lidocaine.

wraps or splints for sprains are good too.

its tough for me to add more since I carry stuff that I can use with my medical training that an average person wouldnt know how to use.

I wonder if there is a trauma guy in New York, that would trade me some for some kick ass home brewed porter....

-boots
-gloves
-looking for a mesh jacket
-looking for a tailbag
-possibly a new chain & sprockets. I really don't need them *right now* but if I happen to run across a good deal, I may get it.

What I need to be doing:
-washing clothes

Looking for goodies is more fun! :D

i am looking for a tailbag as well. posted up on the aprilia site because mounting the bag may be tough with the side bags on. So I want to see what guys over there say.

LMK about the gloves as I could use a new pair. Motorcyclecloseouts.com has some prety good deals.

If we were closer, I'd let you ride mine! :D

I need a new helmet. Mine doesn't fit right anymore & it's hell at higher speeds. My boot soles are worn, more on the left than the right since it's the foot I put down. My left boot sole is slick. I haven't replaced the mesh I crashed in when I went to Austin. I have no more summer gloves. My last pair started getting holes in them at the end of summer.

The bike is in needs of new tires....again. I'm really thinking about going with the Road Attacks. I loved them when Wade had them on his bike. I like the Maxxis I have now...they're certainly better than what I had, but the Road Attacks have a better rating and appear to be an overall better tire.

It's all shit that I've been needing to get, just haven't had the money. :idk:

Tom

Linky? :D I'm looking around for a tailbag myself. I've decided not to take the hard bag I have. Even for as small as I am, I doubt it would hold what little I'll be bringing. Plus I want to take the bag off when I ride. The hard bag I have is mounted onto another rear seat so I can take it off and on easily. I'd still need to carry my other rear seat. It works great for small weekend trips, but I'm going to be gone almost a week, so I need another form of luggage.

[Curb]

seiously...i think the clock just started to go backwards:(

[tommymac]

here ya go

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productlist/181/

Some of its too much for me since it would hang over onto the bags so I just need something that rests on the seat. Fortunatley the passenger seat is rather big so I can put a bigger bag on there.

Tom

[tommymac]

heres some more stuff

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/71/72/Class/Street-Bike-Tail-Bags-Luggage-Accessories.aspx

they usualy have prety good prices. A guy on the aprilia site used a coretch sport bag and had no trouble securing it so I may look into those.

Scroll down the second 2 have rain covers. I like the tourmaster stuff, I have one of their tank bags. the mounting set up kinda sux (its not on magnets) but th ebag itself has been through hell and aside from a little fading is in great shape. And it comes with a rain cover :dthumb:

I just bought that set of frog toggs so I hshould be good there but want to get something to cover my feet and hands too.

I'm probably going to go with one of the two bottom ones. I'd like to get a rain suit like the one Josh let me borrow to ride home in when I went to Austin. That thing kicked ass! I rode in a downpour and didn't get wet at all nor felt any coolness from the rain.

Most of the raingear isnt realy vented which can be good and bad. Once i wore it in a heavy rain in the summer and I think I was wetter underneath from all the sweat :(

Another thing to consider or invest in are ziplock bags for stuff you wouldnt want getting wet (some clothes and electronics) I know for a fact my hardbags are not waterproof in heavy rain storms.

I don't think it's being made anymore and I can't find my size in it. I could get a bigger size and just roll up the pants on it like I do almost everything else. :lmao:

i think the rainsuit I have/had was a neslon rigg ( I lent out the pants and never saw them again) iborrowed a jacket from a friend on CF once when i was at his place and it started raining. i realy liked that jacket and would have bought that if rider didnt sell me the frog toggs.

From what I've heard from others about the Frog Toggs is you have to be careful when putting them on or you'll rip them. I'm hard on almost everything I wear and need something that's going to be durable.

Now I'm trying to figure out what size helmet to get. *sigh*

At least I know I have oprtions now. I iwll keep tha tin mind with the rian gear. I iwll prolly wear my textiles fo rthe GA trip so i will just need the top, but will def need both when using them for commuting to work.

Now if pay day would get here so I can do some shopping :lol:

That's a really nice bag too! Dangit, now I have more to choose from. Grrr.... I hate shopping. I'll put it in my favorites to hang out with the others until I make a decision. I'm not in a huge hurry for the bad. There's other things that I need to get now. The bag can wait for a bit.

I just bought this helmet about a year ago. It's the same model helmet I had previously and it held up well for over two years until I crashed. My problem is, the pads are still good, not really worn, but the helmet itself is loose and has been for a while. I'm not sure if maybe the pads are really worn that much (although the helmet is only a year old) or if my face thinned out when I lost weight in the spring enough to cause it to not fit properly. :scratch: I love the helmet and the model enough to buy the same, except I don't know whether to get a size smaller or go with the same size. I'm not sure if either will fit correctly...one having a chance of being too big and the other being too small. It fit exactly like it was supposed to when I bought it a year ago, so I know I didn't get the wrong size to begin with.

I found my helmet on closeout for $40 (and to think I paid almost $150 for it twelve months ago), so instead of replacing the pads, I want to get another one since it's so cheap!

As far as trying on helmets locally.....do you know how hard it is to find one in an xs or an xxs around here????

[tommymac]

Sorry LOL

I was going to say swapping the inner pads could help as far as the fit. if its something you like and are comfy with I say stick with what works (spoken like a true creature of habit LOL)

I guess you need to try to find a way to try them on or buy from a place that has a hassle free exchange policy to be sure. Also e-mail them and explain the situation they may be able to offer some insight.

I actually called KBC a few months ago when I started noticing it wasn't fitting well and the guy suggested I get smaller pads. It wasn't a sure thing though. :shrug:

Motorcycle Superstore has them on clearance and takes exchanges for wrong size/color. Hmmm....I can get a bag and the helmet from them and get free shipping. Decision made! :rockwoot:

I just felt bad for ya paying so much for rodents. I hate going to the local pet store for them, even though I have to pay tolls and admission to the show, I can stock up on stuff and look at the critters that are still legal in NY.

I want to go to the big shows they have out in harrisburg PA. They have all the large boids and venemous species on display and for sale.

I only feed my animals frozen. With the costs of shipping its still chepaer for me to hit the reptile shows, plus I can browse other stuff while I am there. They have shows once every 3 months so that is usualy enough to get me through with what I can fit in the freezer.

tomfind out how much shipping would be to coral springs, fl...i normally use jumbos for eden and trying to find those are damn near impossible. whenever i go to the store they might have one or two...maybe three. but they are like $8 each its fucking insane and this place doesn't give any discounts if you buy by the pack. i used to go to this other place that charged $20 for a pack of 5. i liked it a lot better when she was a baby and ate rat pups and my roommate used to work at the local store when i was in college

[rogue]

We don't have any reptile shows here and the local pet stores are much more expensive than buying bulk online. It sucks.

There used to be a breeder here that supplied the zoo, but he stopped. I only paid a buck a rodent when I used to buy from him.

i will check on kingsnake.com later, and see which breeders are located down south that way shipping isnt as bad. So long as you have space for them its better to buy in bulk and most places give better discounts.
