bikerchick is in da houz YO!
Hi all!
![]() I'm living in Yuma, AZ (just moved a month ago) and am looking for some people to ride with! I have a 07 Red ZX-6R with 14,500mi on her since I bought her brand spanking new in Oct 07. She currently is at the shop fixing the dreaded oil leak that is now a recall but no worries! it will be all fixed soon! (I hope)here is me at the bottom of Yarnell Hill north of Phoenix. |

LMAO! the mohawk is suction cupped on the helmet. I only wear it when I want to make fun of the squids!

Welcome.
You are sending all kinds of mixed messages. Lid with a hawk (I love it by the way, they crack me up). leathers with no gloves, jeans, but riding boots. I like it! And be nice to squids! We are people too ya know

![]() I grew up in Arizona - Lived near Phoenix, in Bisbee, and near Sedona. Miss it. One would need to try very hard to get that sort of mileage on an '07 bike where I live now. |

Welcome!
200 miles to good roads? Bummer. I am really happy I sold my sport bike to go to a touring-ish bike for the street even with close twisties. Maybe something to consider.

<---awesome!yup, that's why I'm gonna buy Convertibars and a Sargent seat and I have already installed hookups for a heated jacket (warm and safe FTW) and I will be getting heated grips ($30 at Cycle Gear = much better than $150+ for gloves) ![]() Modding it is waaaaay cheaper at this point since I owe $15k still on it (traded in a Ducati for the ninja and bought the dumb service plan/warrenty)

but then I lost $3000 on the trade only a few months later and I bought the service plan and the extended warrenty and after taxes and crap my ninja is about $17,500 and a year later still owing $15,000 it is worth only $5000, if even that! and guess where that $17,500 went?? the Kawi card! Argh! I had no idea they would do that to me! The Duc went on a real loan and so did my car, so when I got home that night I realized it wasn't the same lol... I was just too damn excited! lol![]() Quote:
![]() What brand did you use? Helibars or Convertibars or something else? the Converti's are adjustable, so I think that's probably better. I got a problem with my back from the aggressive riding position and carpal tunnel in both wrists. I try so hard to keep the weight off them, but it makes my back hurt, so I'm constantly moving around, it really sucks when 200mi of my ride is in a straight line . I had a 97 Honda Shadow 600 for 3 1/2 years and that riding position was real nice. Someday when I'm rich I will buy another lol

So what are you saying all people with mohawks are squids?
Either way, welcome to the club... Sounds like they stuck it to you on the bike deal, may as well ride it now.

![]() Mine is stock, so Honda bars. One big thing is be sure to not lock your elbows (I figure you know that one) as that is guaranteed wrist pain. The other is get a tail bag (I got Tourmaster) and get that purse off your back (backpacks are worse I am guessing since I have no purse to compare with) as that will tire you a lot more than you think. Also break BEFORE you get tired or sore. I am sure with your miles you have an idea of your range so stop and stretch out a bit at about 75% and it will allow you to go further. Oh and I move around a bunch also because it keeps you from seizing at my age Lastly be sure you are not over gripping the bars that will also wear you out REAL fast.Of course many accuse me of not being right so your experience may vary ![]() Oops one more thing I have a Throttlemeister, don't use it much but on a 200 miles drone it allows you to twist it and shake out your throttle hand for a minute or two (the only mod I have)

I lived in Mesa, and worked in Scottsdale for a while. I wish I was still there, especially this time of year. Welcome to the site. P.S. You aren't supposed to be wearing a helmet.
