as for answering your original question of "now what?" my suggestion would be buying a large life insurance policy, updating your Last Will and Testament and making sure your organ donation designation is up to date

Full face. My current helmet is an old Bell I bought on the cheap to get me through my Riders Edge course. It's white and has some weird gray design on it. I'm going to get a new helmet in the next few weeks.

Most likely something like this:

I've spent a few hours the last two night polishing the chrome on the bike. I'm not done yet but it looks great compared to how it looked when I bought it. The bike had sat in his garage since the end of the riding season in 2009 so it had a lot of grime and the chrome had lost its shine. It's amazing what a $1.70 bottle of turtle wax chrome polish will do.

I prefer Mothers. They have some really good products for metal polishing. The power ball is money, saves so much time

What are the prices of their products like? I bought the turtle wax stuff because it was the cheapest and I figured it was worth a try. I'm not sure if the chrome could look any better than it does now. The only shitty part is using an old t shirt because my fat fingers can't fit into a lot of the cracks and crevices.

the powerball attachment is the only way to go Justin. Mothers or Turtle wax are both good.

i don't know what Meijer is, but i think auto zone or pep boys sells them. It's much better than hand polishing. Also, they have a cone attachment too for small places you cant get with the ball or your fingers.

I take it you aren't from Ohio then?

I'll take the bike out on a ride tonight and head over to Auto Zone and pick some stuff up.
