( jalopnik.com )

It’s Wild How Much Your Bike Affects Your Riding Style Last month I got myself a shiny new-to-me Suzuki GSX-8R, all yellow and black, to replace my stolen F800GS.

We are thinking about staying until it’s dark but are not quite sure if it is safe to return during the night. Road conditions und maps look good submitted by /u/theakamu
