While I am...I agree whole-heartedly with Fasthair. While I am a very strong proponent of ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time), I try not to judge those folks who decide to ride with far less protection, although sometimes I find myself grimacing at the site of there choice of "riding gear". For all the same reasons that Fasthair stated above, I feel that the decision has to be made by the individual, maybe I should add an "unfortunately" to that.<BR/><BR/>It looks to me that you are making some sound judgement calls in regards to respecting your own personal abilities, and the abilities of the bike, and the perils of falling. Keep it up!!<BR/><BR/>I love reading about new riders experiences and adventures, it's one of the things that makes blogging experience so much fun for me.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading about your new experiences with a sport that stole my heart over 34 years ago.<BR/><BR/>Ride Well<BR/><BR/>E.T.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081927514870722367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558608425679524347.post-10956768576861405252008-12-07T18:50:00.000-08:002008-12-07T18:50:00.000-08:00Ms. Fylix: Be careful what you ask for. If your go...Ms. Fylix: Be careful what you ask for. If your government is anything like ours here the USA they will take a good idea and screw it all up. Think about what they could do if this became law. I can see regulation of what the safety gear must be made of, hold up to and even what color it should be. All of this just adds expense to the sport of motorcycling which can be pretty expensive at times already. Not to mention the taking of my liberties to pursue happiness as I see it, either with ATGATT or not. <BR/><BR/>I prefer to arm myself with knowledge and make choices accordingly. I don’t need some suit telling me how I should ride my bike because they have no clue what it is to ride anyway<BR/><BR/>fasthairfasthairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578895011107651084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558608425679524347.post-14679169416617437602008-11-30T04:41:00.000-08:002008-11-30T04:41:00.000-08:00I will only be in London for 1½ hour, so not enoug...I will only be in London for 1½ hour, so not enough time to see the town really.Jophielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00180773616175900269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558608425679524347.post-34274695036526555342008-11-24T01:54:00.000-08:002008-11-24T01:54:00.000-08:00I don't know whether to reply on my own page or he...I don't know whether to reply on my own page or here... Here will do for now ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment! I have great expectations for couchsurfing.com. My most conservative estimate is that it's going to save me more than 8000DKK (around 800£) on sleeping. And, as I said, it's grand adventure :)<BR/><BR/>About packing: I have a solid rucksack, and I expect to buy Panniers with the bike. That's it. I'll write my packing list in a future blog post for you, so you can see it. I'm figuring others might be interested too, so I won't spend the time compiling it here. Besides, it's not complete as I haven't packed :P<BR/>Clothes will be very basic, like, 3 shirts (including the one I'm wearing) etc. I don't expect to bring tools as I don't know how to use them...Jophielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00180773616175900269noreply@blogger.com
