going to go this coming saturday with my list.... and let the spending begin.....

reason i liked the 1st, they have them on sale ($80 off) and i think i want the silver black, which means I could get silver black gloves.... and then the jacket and pants black.... so it's not all one color.... and looks like i will be getting the 07 silver metalic 500 so they would go that much more with the bike!!!

the 1st and 2nd look much stronger then the 3rd, and i do want a bunch of protection!!!

Ya, that third one is fugly!! lol

The first and the second both look good. If the bike is silver, get the first ones.

It's nice to finally see someone get the gear, THEN the bike.

Def a good thing!!

Just don't show up all geared out, ready to go, and drop the bike in the parking lot!! lol...... It's funny I know, but I saw it happen at the dealer here while I was picking up parts. Whenever someone buys a new bike, they ring a bell then you can drive off. So everyone goes outside, and watches the newbie drive off. That dude must have been nervous, boom, dropped it!!! lol lol

if i go with this one place, they supposedly can deliever the bike for you - so i'm opting to do that..... LOL - that would be hella funny!!!

i remember the first time i dropped my dirt bike, i got up as quickly as i could even though i hurt my hand pretty bad just so people don't think nothing of it..... since then i have crashed a few times, some harder then others.... and still the first reaction is holly crap, i fk-up.... and want to get up quick.... but other times i just take my time!!!
