When I was young and invincible I used to squid a lot. But when sliding on asphalt nothing protects the skin like leather... Having done so, I wear my gear 99% of the time. In summer it's my "Power Trip" convertible jacket. Armor on the shoulders, back and elbows - leather outer sleeves -...
Agreed, not only ride within your own limits, but respect the road conditions. (there's still a lot of sand out there). There will always be faster/better riders than myself, but as long as I ride, I keep within my own safety zone. Don't be afraid to bail when the pace becomes hectic.
Generally the mopeds are dirt cheap on gas/oil. Keep in mind when your buzzing the motor at full throttle (especially all day) you might blow it up. One thing to consider will it keep up in traffic? Hugging the shoulder sucks. As a high school kid, I got a caddy moped in 1979 - rode it for...
I would think my first newsworthy event occurred in July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong put his left foot on the rocky Moon. As school kids we all received an aluminum medallion with Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins on one side and the lunar module on the other. The famous quote of that time...
When I was at Port Dover last year some guy on his Harley bent his forks when he forgot to remove his disc lock... so be extra careful if you are going this route... I would suggest rain gear and mesh jacket for the summer.

My finger tips were freezing off last fall. So I got a pair of snowmobile gloves from Royal...very toasty. :D Shure you don't have the same feel as gloves but now my hands can take the cold.
Bell called, offering a "DEAL" if I switched from Rogers. "Fibe", new PVR, and so on. Savings of $400.00 for the first year, offering a PVR that connects to all the TV's in the house, better HD etc. (our 4 cell phones staying on Rogers). So when the year is up the savings drops to about $15.00...
Welcome to the world of two wheel excitement! I started out on a moped (1980). I loved the fact I could own the full lane once I got my motorcycle a year later.
My wife and I attended yet another fun December Motorcycle show. We bought a charger for our cell phones that connects to the tender lead, discussed trips with various vendors and checked out some really cool bikes. It was quite a social event as we ran into lots of friends we rode with this...
