Bikes
 
Just got a 98 ZX6R. Got a really good deal on it, so I jumped at the opportunity. Any opinions on upgrades/gear/sites? Want to make an attempt at not killing myself, so I'm gonna stick to residential streets/non-highways for a week or 2.

Thinking either Arai or Shoei for a noggin guard. And pics/vids, I'm going to go buy a damn camera, and tape my life for HMT since people keep demanding pics/vids. Anyone got one for sale? I promise porn vids and naked girls will be the first use of it...

Umm do you even have your license or temps yet since you were talking about just not killing yourself? Got a good will?

Get a good lid for starters, i wouldnt wear anything less than an arai or shoei. You cant really put a price on your head! Oh, and get leathers, 1 or 2 piece suit prefferably armoured where it counts. Good gloves and boots are just as important as the suit. However, If you like the idea of skin grafts and broken bones then wear sneakers jeans and a coat.

Good luck
