HELP
RE: HELP
yea i have a scorpion exo400 also and i love it.
its so comfortable, more comfortable than anything in the motorcycle shop here... they also didnt have shoeis and arais, but i couldnt have spent 500 on a helmet anyway, so its def the most comfortable in the price range.
i also got an Alpinestars RC-1 Textile jacket which is PERFECT.
it has a liner in it that will keep u warm in 40 degree riding, or u can take the liner out and it has really nice venting that feels cool in 75 degree weather. it hasnt gotten very hot here yet, but it seems like it will still be comfortable in warmer weather.
def. wear ur helmet too.
alot of guys dont, and im not bashing htem but u never know when something can happen, no matter how good of a rider u are, u cant control everything, i just read a wreck in the off topic section where two of our members were rounding a corner, and a truck going the other way spilld a bunch of rocks/dirt in front of them... nothing they could do and they went down...
also i was riding w my friend who likes to go helmetless, and he just happened to put it on this time... we were going around a smooth corner at probably 45-50 mphrange, not very fast, but his back tire slid out and he low sided and said he cracked his head on the ground pretty hard, and it was just a smooth slide out... so i can only image if its someone pulling out in front of u, or if u low side out and hit soemthin like a parked car or a curb.
sometimes i feel dumb, or out of place when im riding with 6+ guys and im the only one with a helmet and riding jacket on, but i know in the long run its much better to have them. plus it seems quiter, and like a nice safe little bubble when ur riding that u can just kinda relax in.

RE: HELP
Congrats on the F4i! it's a great bike and you will love it, Even with the low miles im not sure I would have paid over 5k for an 6 year old bike, the blue book on my 05 is 5k and it only has 8k miles but depending where you are in the country is a Huge difference in bike price so regardless congrats! Welcome! and enjoy the Honda
