Your crazy Girl! I know that most the pro bike riders aren't strapping large fellas and all, but I'll take my speed wrapped in a full metal jacket.
I have always belived in risk reduction via safety gear so, I too was saved from the flaming ISO alcohol party that follows a good case of road rash.
How does the 600 handle for you?
If your at all nervous about your new "boy", it would be best to let the pros check him out! I always prefer to. My tech, Trey, will sometimes call me teasing about my "phantom" car problem. I've had this poor guy upside down with a scope on the floor listening for the steerling linkage pops, CV boot issues (on the Exploder)and what not. Got to love a good, well humored, mechanic. Sometimes you just get a car that has that little something that makes you nuts! Hopefully, you don't have one.
