Roadcraft / Re: Braking Technique and Skills
« on: August 07, 2015, 03:03:57 PM »
I flicker my brake light while approaching a stop or slow, before the real braking starts. I flicker it while stationary as well. Picked that up at training as part of classroom discussion, not curriculum. I haven't been rear ended either, but I don't really know how helpful it is. Been riding 7 years.

General Discussion / Re: Does riding change you?
« on: August 07, 2015, 02:33:09 PM »
I am changed in the ways that houndguy said. Much more alert. I especially notice the difference when I do drive my truck, as I don't zone out into my head the way I used to as much. One of my challenges in life is learning to live in the moment, to have my mind be where my body is. Riding helps that a lot, helps me stop fussing over things that are not happening right this instant and instead pay attention to the here and now. That's serenity.

Crazy question - has anybody tried to tow anything with Agility 125? I've been looking at bicycle trailers and getting curious.

Agility 125 / Re: Rearview mirrors

So would I. The mirrors are what I miss most on my old Yamaha C3.

Agility 125 / Re: just got my agility 125: break-in period and mirror question
« on: July 12, 2015, 03:41:26 PM »
I did the break in exactly as specified in the manual. Annoying, but doable. I'm a year in now and pretty happy.

I too have mirror issues. I get a really fantastic view ... of my elbows. I'm constantly adjusting them and still have to duck and dip to see what's behind me. Not so bad on days when I don't have to wear a jacket. I may yet get after market mirrors.
