    I think a teflon sea cover would be nice also so my butt doesn't keep biting holes in the seat when I scare myself!

    That was an omission. I'll get right on that...

    Hee, hee....I love all the requirements. I love the teflon seat one. I try and explain to family and friends how scary driving can be at times and they don't understand. Obviously, I am new. Probably have about 70 hours or so on a trainer truck. Had to get off of his truck for reasons too numerous to list here. Basically, I know there is a certain amount of stuff you need to put up with or deal with when living in close quarters with a stranger. But un-professionalism and un-safe driving are deal breakers for me.

    Uh, what if you actually do drive a harley and don't want to lose your wallet?

    And I am guilty of wearing fingerless work gloves (not those thin black ones, real padded work gloves) so I can smoke/perform dextrous things with my fingers (try spinning a nut on a bolt where you can't see it beside a hot exhaust without gloves or with full finger gloves). Though I wouldn't drive while wearing them.

    Dang it I was all packed and ready to go out with my trainer and now I have to go get more stuff to take with me. Guess I will have to get another army size duffle bag to fit it all in.

    i gotta admit to wearin fingerless gloves sometimes......im in and out of the truck all day, constantly handling paperwork....it makes it convenient to be able to wear them most of the day and not have to take them on and off all day, and still be able to thumb through my paperwork
