Well, I took the plunge and bought a motorcycle! It's a 1982 Suzuki GS450L. I've heard this kind of bike referred to as a "UJM", a "Universal Japanese Motorcycle." It has 5100 miles, and is scrupulously clean. I think it's a really good deal! Now I can start acting extra cool (sarcasm.)
I've been looking for protective clothing, and have been fascinated with Aerostich suits. They're made out of Gore-Tex and heavy cordura, are waterproof for 30-45 minutes in a heavy downpour with no fairing on the motorcycle, and are reinforced with body armor! How cool is that! So I'm looking at colors, and I need your advice. Should I go with the hi-viz yellow and silver, so I'll look like a Danish highway patroller, or should I get the gray suit with the red trim? Let me know!
