It must be a common occurrence because my DMV handbook specifically says riding side saddle is illegal. Crazy!I don't know what to make of this

We don't hit any more since I installed the back rest.ah yea I know the feeling. it's a typical issue when doing 2-up. That's why some of them wear three-quarters (open face) helmet and goggle.... or even half-helmet.

Like human cannonball Mario Zacchini said, “Flying isn’t the hard part; landing in the net is.”wheres the RG500's??
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I've always believed this, in spite of the trouble it's caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles.

When you are parked in a public place, do you stow your helmet or take it with you?
If you stow it, how do you secure it? With a lock, or in a saddle bag, or . . . ?
I knew about the bike frame locks but I didn't know about these. Yeah!it's always a big question for us. It depends on the situation. If you were at rally or similar - they just leave it on their passenger footpegs, seat, or mirror. Some stows it away in rear/side cases. for me - I stow it in my rear case.
if you want to go extra measure which costs money to buy these parts - 2 ways to do this... throttle lock or license plate lock -
While searching for helmet locks on-line, I saw that some of them looked just like the cable locks for guns that I have hanging in the closet, not being used. Bonus! I now have two free helmet locks!
My locks and cables are completely covered in soft plastic. One's a bright yellow Mossberg, and the other's a red Ruger.yep you could use that! I have one too. just be careful cuz those metal cable can scratch your paint or chrome so if you want to - you can just wrap it with some tape or whatever. One can use those traveler lock with cable.

RG 500 Gamma
Suzuki RG500 Gallery
cuz i rode quite alot of those, and bloody missing them but the problem is I can't afford it now giving the prices of petrol and oil as it is now, - its pretty much now prohibitive! god those were the days, I remember doing 190K in Benmore Avenue in my hometown which is a short suburban road, just long enough to reach the speed then brake real HARD like 200M to turn left doing 30k to 50Ks...LOLthe street was probably no more than 1.5Km long...or with the straights being less than 1.2Km long!...get the picture four strokes cant do that unless its the biggest Meanest Race replica (or modded to match as close to the actual race brothers)
my bike? it's 09 gsxr 600
