The Rocket Has Left the Building

My bike was stolen this past Sunday. Two other bikes from my building along with a van from across the street were snatched too. So fricken frustrating. Especially since the riding season is upon me ... the questions I have now:

1) Once I get my check from my insurer, do I buy a new motorcycle?
2) Should I get the same bike, or try something different, like a Ducati Supersport?
3) Am I just asking to have my bike stolen again?

I had LoJack installed and an alarm ... those were obviously all wastes ...

hmm ...

Pics of Gear

Here's a photo of my jacket, gloves and helmet. I went with a pair of Teknic gloves, a Field Sheer jacket and a Shoei X-Eleven helmet. You can read about the helmet here: Shoei X-Eleven.

Another Tank Bag, Another Tank Bag, Another Tank Bag ...

I found three more possible options for tank bags (actually, two of them are map holders) which are small in size and may do a good job of holding a portable GPS.

Summer Mesh Jacket

Sure, it's not the top-of-the-line summer jacket, but it has all of the safety features I am looking for.

I'm going to get it in light grey (good visibility and less heat attracting of a color).

Why Plastic Rocket?

According to my own encyclopedia definition of plastic rocket:

Plastic Rocket: A sport bike motorcycle, also known as a crotch rocket, which has several plastic fairings.
