Default getting the bike today!

well i've been a member of h-t for a while but just never posted much. so hopefully now i'll start posting a little more. well later today i should be finalizing everything and getting the bike. it's an '01 blk/slvr F4i w/fairing and exhaust scratches from being laid down at low speed, so just a fairing fix and aftermarket exhaust to solve that problem. and it only has 6700 miles! i'll post pics of the bike when we get it to the house here.

although i haven't had much to post i have been reading. so for all the msf/gear/insurance advocates, which i also think is a very good idea:

MSF - check
Gear - check
Insurance - hopefully hookin up today

The gear:
AGV Stealth helmet
A* Ice Jacket
A* SMX-2 gloves
A* Octane riding shoes

Looks like you're off to a good start.

Keep the sticky side down.

Make sure you strap yourself to the bike - it seems like you will fly off. How much you weight, like 97 lbs?

If a small is that big you probably need like a 38 or 36 sized jacket.
Newenough says that a small Ice is a 38-40. So it probably runs big on you. It's also got a much less fitted front section. The max belly size is 35, whereas on most 38 it's 32.
I see a smaller fitted jacket in your future.
