Looking for someone in the area that does clean automotive pin striping. I have an Indian I'd like some striping done on. Thank you in advance for any information ✌️

Hello all. Im currently on a Ninja 400 and I've gotten about 1500 miles under my belt. Im a 43 year old new rider. I do ride with my partner on the back. While we are both relatively light weight, me at 135lbs and her at 97lbs the ninja is really not designed for a pillion, though we do ok through town. Id like for us to be able to do longer trips and generally be overall more comfortable. So I've been eyeing the Scout lineup for quite some time. I've decided on a 25 Super Scout. I rode a friend's 2018 Scout Bobber around a lot and really liked it. I guess my question is, I live about an hour and a half away from the dealer. I'll have to ride it back while in the break in period. I do plan on taking back roads. Any advice or tips for this new-ish rider on this trip back? It will be the longest continuous commute I've had. I dont really count long riding days just riding around around town with friends a "continuous commute" 😅

Get some. I was dragging my feet on some hearing protection, why? Idk... I wish I would have gotten them sooner. I didn't realize that so much of my lack of confidence and anxiety was revolving around the wind noise. I feel so much calmer and relaxed now when I ride. I am less fatigued at the end of a ride and just feel all around more confident. Dont sleep on hearing protection ✌️ Its so much better than I was expecting.

I got myself a pair of the RST Tractech Evo 4 gloves. Before ordering I measured 75 times and compared it to all the charts. I was very much between the S and the M, leaning ever so slightly towards the small. So I ordered the small. Now I feel like they are 1/2 size too small. Should I go through the exchange process and get the M.... or should I try and stretch these like they do track suits? They are kangaroo and cow leather. Do ya think I'll get a good stretch so they fit perfect? With an exchange will the M eventually be too big with natural wear and some stretch from natural breakin??? Im a little stumped. If there's a way to show this in video or pics I can post if needed. HALP ✌️
