Yeah I voted to ride home. Slow and easy so no bug puts an eye out or the wind whips my glasses off. Then cuss like the Texan I am over a 12 pack of beer and work on it in the morning

Thats pretty much what happened
I would have been better off if I had glasses... uneasy feeling with nothing over the eyes... I was in full tuck part of the time 35mph full tuck

With the naner seat all you have to do is take the grab bar off and you'll be able to pry or grab the cable to get the seat off. It took 2 mins.

State law requires a helmet to be worn here. I'm not sure I'd risk 9 miles, I can't afford another ticket. I voted to have someone bring me an extra helmet.

PA, I don't have to wear a helmet because I took the MSF BRC. I no longer have a spare helmet since I gave my old one to a new rider that didn't have one.

Now mind you if I was over an hour's ride from home, I'd prolly try finding a bike shop and buying one.

Just happened to me on Sunday. I was so frustrated, and it was 100 degrees out! I have a wire strap that came with the bike that I lock my helmet with. Luckily a lady had wire cutters in her trunk. I cut the wire, got my helmet and went home. Now I'm tryin to figure out how to get it open. Looks like I gota take off the servo motor case to get to the lock. STUPID LOCK!
If anyone has an easier way let me know. (07 CBR 1000)
