Second you need to be really good on the break-in period. Dont rev it all all.
Done! I have already obtained a permit and insurance, and my MSF course is tomorrow and Sunday. I should have my M endorsement shortly after that.

Get ones with alot of hard padding, not the cheap golf like gloves that u could spit through.

Make sure you never, and I mean never ride in shorts. Always ride with tough pants on like jeans, leathers, ect. I personaly hate leathers, but they skid the best and keep the wind out the best.
I already purchased a Shoei RF-1000 Voyager, A* GP Plus jacket and track pants, as well as a pair of A* GP Pro full-gauntlet riding gloves. I also have a pair of Sidi Vertigo Air's. The only thing left for me to purchase is another back protector.

Done! My Woodcraft frame sliders will be installed next weekend.

The '07 GSXR has a stock damper that works well. If headshake ensues, I will then consider upgrading.

If you have any other questions PM me, I have raced motocross, and ridden the street for along time.

AND CONGRADS!! YOU WILL HAVE ALOT OF FUN. CARS WILL FEEL LIKE TURTLES NOW!

Thanks bro. If I have any questions, I will definitely hit you up. For now, I only have a permit, so I do not ride at night or on freeways.
