    OK, continuing in the law enforcement vein, now all you need is one of these.

    Surely you know that riding a pre-2011 JH600 causes dyslexia?

    The bike handles great, though it's still new and who knows what a few years of riding would do. The throttle is very responsive and if I could complain about anything throttle related it's that it's a little too sensitive while I'm crusing at lower speeds. I'm used to a throttle lock and I think I'll look into getting one for this bike.

    MQRider, I haven't checked them out yet. Those are both much closer than the shop I bought the bike at! I'll check those out sometime during the break and maybe pick up a decent helmet!

    The real problem isn't that they didn't have a decent selection, but that I had trouble getting one that fit my weird gourd. The helmet I've got now is OK but it's a 3/4 with a full face shield and it wouldn't give me the protection I want in an accident or in much rain for that matter. I ride with a fairly plane brown jacket so it would be nice to get a high vis vest

    I still can't believe Tommy made one of these out of a Heist!

    The thing is I saw the bike and an old US teevee program came to mind from the 70's

    Well my old parking spot in the bat-cave has been taken over by some kind of shelving and other stuff someone decided to stick there, so I've relocated. I'm not sure if my insistance in not using a parking space is appreciated or not but for the safety of the bike I also prefer to park away from the other vehicles. In fact this spot is much nicer than the place I was using. For one the air ducts above where I used to park leaked and it smelled a bit. The lighting is also better. As you can see there is also a massive door which is bolted to the wall that I can lock the bike to. I'm not sure why these doors are down there but there are 7 or 8 of various size around the garage and their all just bolted to the wall, not in use at all. Aside from a nice man who occasionally uses the area to sift through and box Jasmine tea the spot seems totally unused. My bike does get covered in tea dust though, a small and pleasant smelling price for such an otherwise exclusive spot.
