HiI was wondering if disabling a car alarm will make the car not start? If this is the case, can someone explain why this is so?
Full riding leather gear is seldom used for street rides but you can just wear everything and carry the helmet or lock it to your bike.
From what your saying it sounds like it was not your fault. If she made a U turn and hit you its her fault regardless of how fast you were going. I'm sure the police will realise this too. You should be alright, it might take a while for the police and insurance reports to come through though. Keep in contact with the police and the 2 insurance companies.
I wear my jacket, helmet, and gloves to school. You can just throw your jacket over the chair in class and wear it inbetween. put the Gloves in the backpack and my helmet can be straped to the backpack, sometimes I just carry my helmet. I have full gear boots and pants but sitting around all day in leather pants and full boots is not comfortable, just ride safe and be alert. If you really want to use full gear I would look at the heavy duty jeans that are available. They make them almost padded and thick but they are still comfortable enough to wear during the day. As far as riding with a packpack it is not very hard. I once rode with 4 books and associated notebooks about 15 pounds and had a slight backache when i get to school (20 miles). You might want to look at the bags that attach to the gas tank via magnets, takes the load off your back.
Just another disadvantage of riding a sportbike far as I'm concerned. Call it bad future planning. I see it every day at my school. guys having to wrestle their gear, books, and supplies. Backpacks are not a total solution. If there's a stop to be made at the store on the way home, sorry honey, I can't carry those groceries. Suddenly that big cruiser with saddlebags everyone thinks is so dumb is looking pretty smart right about now,.. huh? A very comfortable ride, plenty of storage, perhaps even a small luggage rack tops it all off very well. You ATGATT sportbike jockeys think about that while you juggle your gear,..then tie it down on the seat where she used to ride, -and I'll be taking your girlfriend home. BTW: keep your pointless sour grapes to yourselfall the thumbs down in the world won't hurt my feelings.
