Would you recommend the course? I am thinking of taking it for something to do.
I did years ago, and it was great, well worth the money. But i'll be damned if I remember much of anything I learned from it now.

I took the 101 in fall,
Yes I would recommend it.
Every one will say you do not need a course I can teach you everything you need to know.
BUT are they willing to sit down and talk to you for 6 hours ?
It is worth it, I will most likely take 201 in fall, or when the big bike needs an oil change.

Did my front n rear brakes today. Fronts had about 2mm's and the rears were nearly down to metal.. Found out the caliper in the rear had a seized slider pin. Cleaned up everything, lubed up all the components and even sanded the rotors down for a nice mating surface. Put in ebc pads! Rear rotor is scored to hell though lol.. Sanding helped a bit. Oh well Posted via RS Mobile

Looking at leathers now. What is everyone's preference? 1pc or 2pc?
Do they stretch over time?
Input would be great! Thanks Posted via RS Mobile

1pc : track use
2pc : street ride, nice to have if you want to take off jacket and walk around with, but its a bitch to zip up the jacket to pants.
i have a 2pc, but got my bonus so might pick up a 1pc

There was no booklet when I did it. It was one of his earlier ones in the back of Imperial Motorcycles.

Went to holeshot in Lanley and found an Aplinestars Carver 2pc for 799 with 25% off (is that a good price).
Can anyone recommend another place for 2 pc suits?
TIA

Passsed written test last week and have been looking around on CL and looking into PRS.
Really excited to get on the road.
Might wait for a few pay cheques to come in from my new job before I end up going to PRS and making any serious attempts at buying a bike.
Raiden next time I see you and your bike I'm going to bug you a lot

thats a really good price.
check out Modern Motorcycle on commercial drive as well. He'll give you a "combo" deal if you are getting other gear with it

Definitely go to Modern, I picked up a 2 piece Carver in Feb for $719... mind you I also bought a Shoe RF 1100 + riding jeans... so the bundle may have lowered the price...
I should also note they had my size in stock, so no waiting for my order to arrive
