Suggestions for first Motorcycle? by DavidL19 (Posted Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:03:21 GMT) My first bike 3 years ago was a Suzuki GS500E 2002. It was a great choice all my biker friends told me that this was the bike for a beginner if you don't want to buy a new bike in less than 6 months. They were right, it was easy to ride and learn on plus it is strong enough to have some fun with it later on. If you get a riding then post your routes on my online map site. You can save them to your own personal site or make it public to the world. I am trying to make a huge map of tons of lists, so if you have the time after riding for a bit post em at the links below. I am an affiliate of allstate and thus I use their web pages. Thanks and good luck on the bike choice.

REV’IT! Sport International and GORE-TEX have formed the motorcycle apparel industry’s first prototype and product development test team composed exclusively of rider-enthusiasts. The purpose of this team is to learn firsthand how our products are used, how they perform in real world conditions, and what the perceived success of these new products will be in the market, says Jordan Levitt, REV’IT!’s North American Director. Both REV’IT! and GORE-TEX are market leading brands, with a focus on new technologies which will improve the quality, comfort and safety of motorcycle apparel. Colin Bell, Motorsports Garments, GORE-TEX says "We are delighted to announce our new cooperation with the Netherlands based brand REV'IT!. REV'IT! is a well known and respected motorcycle apparel brand globally, thanks to their innovative and stylish designs and their proactive approach to garment technology and functionality. We believe that this proactively and focus makes REV'IT! and GORE-TEX® products a very complimentary partnership and we are very optimistic about our future business together. The process is as follows: Riders who are interested in becoming part of the team may fill out an extensive survey at http://motorcyclelab.com where they will input information about their riding habits, clothing sizes and other information allowing REV’IT! and GORE-TEX to assemble the team. The initial pool of riders is expected to be from 300-500 selectees, which will be divided into groups of 50 team members. These team members will receive products for testing, and will be expected to complete a product specific performance log on a regular basis during the life of the test. This data will be used to improve the products prior to the introduction to the market. According to Mr. Levitt, riders are often vocal concerning their desires, likes and dislikes in regards to motorcycle apparel. For the first time ever, we are allowing them to become part of the development process. It’s very exciting for us to have direct rider interaction we expect that it will be exciting for the team members as well. To apply to become a test team member, simply go to http://motorcyclelab.com and apply. My next motorcycle!? by RavenVulf (Posted Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:34:57 GMT) I like the Ducati 1098S.
