[🏍️] Did some night driving and went much further. I think I'm getting the hang of taking off w/o stalling out
Jimmy
Still did it a couple times but much better than before
Jimmy
Still haven't really gotten to try much in like busier traffic
Jimmy
I went up to 45 mph hehehe
Rᴏʟʟɪɴɢ sᴛᴀʀ ★
huhu! nice
Jimmy
For some reason my brain kept thinking clutch and throttle at the same time would stall it out. idfk why so I'd slowly release clutch and THEN try to throttle it
Jimmy
of course it was gonna stall
ohhitsasnake
yeah don't whisky throttle it hahaha
ohhitsasnake
also goes without saying but full face helmets RULE as far as gear goes
ohhitsasnake
i would never go anything less
Jimmy
oh yeah definitely got that
ohhitsasnake
noice
ohhitsasnake
i remember at first how fast 30-40 mph felt (and it is fast like you are propelling your whole ass body through the air at those speeds) but those are also like
ohhitsasnake
The Thrill Kicks In speeds too
Jimmy
dude yes I was just living
Jimmy
also I want to save up for this cause I'm a fucking dweeb:
Night Shift
ohhitsasnake
i can not describe it as anything other than it feels like flying
ohhitsasnake
YEAH dude those look so nice with the ninjas especially
ohhitsasnake
until you save up i've found slapping some reflective stickers on the back of my helmet has increased my visibility (especially at night) by a lot
Jimmy
my understanding is this one is a good product for weather resistance - especially with the heat here
Jimmy
yeah we thinking about that
Jimmy
Iyo wants to get me proper riding jacket and pants, too, cause she's scared
Jimmy
which, fair enough
ohhitsasnake
absolutely don't skimp out on gear
ohhitsasnake
attatt baby

Jimmy
oh nice ty
ohhitsasnake
invest in some nice ankle-protective boots
ohhitsasnake
some boots come with gear-shift protecting pads which will help the lifespan of your left boot
Jimmy
I'm trying to think of how to do all this while using it to go to work where I have to wear specific everything
Jimmy
just lugging it all in a backpack I guess
ohhitsasnake
you're going to have to change or carry a bag or something
ohhitsasnake
yeahhhh
ohhitsasnake
gloves i also really like the ones with the knuckle guards

Jimmy
ahhh everyone's been so helpful, especially you, Kat. tysm
Jimmy
oh I got those!
ohhitsasnake
nice!
Jimmy
or similar
ohhitsasnake
yeah some gloves have like... little rubber finger pad tips so you can still pull over and use your phone if you have to without taking the gloves off
ohhitsasnake
down here i just opted for some fingerless ones because it's so hot down here all the time
Jimmy
I got those hehe 
ohhitsasnake
twinsies 
ohhitsasnake
tbf i have several gloves for whatever weather, collecting some gear will get addicting
ohhitsasnake
this is unfortunately not a cheap hobby
Jimmy
ohhitsasnake
i will also say i've had intense difficulty most of all with jackets because so many jackets are not built with boobs in mind
Jimmy
looking at the shop images for night shift and I know they're designed to make the product look cool but like
ohhitsasnake
so do go to stores and try them on first, don't trust online ordering for that
Jimmy
Jimmy
this is not necessary you fucks
ohhitsasnake
I KNOW GOD sometimes i just want to cosplay as tron or a power ranger
Jimmy
LMFAO
Jimmy
boob jackets, like boob armor but worse
Jimmy
gotta market this
ohhitsasnake
fund it
ohhitsasnake
save the booba
Jimmy
it'll be the same material for the boobs like it is for the knuckles on the gloves, I'm a genius
Jimmy
ohhitsasnake
kaaaaat what do you do for music? I'm thinking about getting speakers cause ear buds felt a bit weird
Jimmy
but some googling seems to be geared more towards like cruisers
Jimmy
(also getting more gear this weekend but trying to plan fun stuff)
ohhitsasnake
do not
ohhitsasnake
external speakers
Jimmy
nuts
ohhitsasnake
absolutely not worth it for any reason in any capacity you will not hear it
ohhitsasnake
do recommend: bluetooth headset in helmet
Jimmy
gotcha. yeah was checking reviews on some and read that is only good if they're behind a guard but even then probably not
ohhitsasnake
the wind and engine noise will never make it sound good
Jimmy
it's hard to keep the ear buds feeling comfortable in my helmet cause it's rightfully snug. feels bad
ohhitsasnake
yeah it will feel awful
ohhitsasnake
getting it installed in the helmet has been the most comfortable
Jimmy
wait, you can do that
ohhitsasnake
yes!

ohhitsasnake
you can definitely find cheaper but i can't personally attest to the quality
Jimmy
I will ask when I go for my gear then, cause we get 10% off equipment stuff if we go back to the place I bought the bike since it's a local business
ohhitsasnake
personally i prefer buying helmets with them pre-built in, however, the downside is if the headset fails or gets damaged you basically have to buy a whole new helmet
Jimmy
damn yeah that would be fucking ass
ohhitsasnake
that said that has only happened to me once and it was near the end of the helmet's life cycle anyway so it was time to replace it all regardless
Jimmy
thank you so much I'll ask them this weekend and see if they got that brand too. they had a lot but I thought they were just comm systems, not like ... for music or anything lol
ohhitsasnake
yep they totally do music!
ohhitsasnake
just sync it with your phone or something
Jimmy
ohhitsasnake
i like having my phone in a gas tank bag with some good tunes going
Jimmy
fucking rad. ty
Jimmy
I got a mount installed before they delivered the bike. it's really sturd

ohhitsasnake
never let anyone talk you into handlebar speakers or something silly unless you're like... on a goldwing or something lmao
ohhitsasnake
you are paying for a glorified couch on wheels you might as well get speakers with it in that case
Jimmy
LMAO okay thank you for saving me from a terrible audio gate
