Howdy from the new kid on the block.
1. 36 years (1st bike at 8. My son was 4.) Commute 8/10 times month. Recreation ride on road(long, mountain roads) one weekend a month, offroad and MX one weekend a month.
2. Commute: Vanson,Boots, Gloves, Shoei.(never shorts,flip flops) Off Road :ATGATT On road recreational: Dianese one piece or Vanson 2 piece "perf" suit.
3.Fortunately never on road, there have been some close ones. I have some serious MX crashes. Looking into track time, novice/beginner at Barber.
Close calls have been mostly other motorist. But debris and momentum have also played a part. Off road my fault; to close to other riders and to big for my britches.
Great source of information here...I found you guys while searching for license plate relocation ideas and options. |

I was really surprised to see this video:

Not only does it seem irresponsible to show him riding in T-shirt, shorts and sneakers, but it also sends a poor marketing message: "This isn't a real bike. Just a toy that isn't to be taken seriously."
I'm not a big fan of the "Book of Buell", but I much prefer it's message that Buells are serious bikes and not just designed to be seen on to the nearly completely opposite message of the above video. |

He does say something about being nervous on the street and more comfortable on the track.
BTW, I really like the looks of that bike. |

Welcome, Bicycleman!
The lag in 3rd gear is the intake solenoid. Search for it in the archives, remove it, make it be gone from your life.
Welcome to the party!

I can understand him being nervous on the street. If he gets mangled by some teenager texting her BFF, he looses a career worth millions!
Pretty bike, though.
