    Crash Test Gear Review

    Very informative, thanks for posting! Im currently looking for boots, glad to see the Sidis stand up. Definitely also making me think about switching to leather pants over mesh. Just how hot do they get? Is it comparable to a leather jacket vs textile (which I notice not much of a diff) or are...

    First outing, went down.

    The snow is brutal! heavy and wet. sure made the trek in my VW to work hard. I am just averaging out my shoe size and going to order some B2s from Newenough (already had a great experience with them.) I can ship the B2s, do the horrid exchange rate and still come in cheaper than buying almost...

    First outing, went down.

    har har har. but seriously, im tempted to rock the high beams. did a test later that night with my friend, it seems the brights dont have the same effect car brights did, it did not blind me in my lowered VW at ALL. the bd43 mod seems like too much work for me

    First outing, went down.

    Yep, as my friend said; "at least the pressure is off for that first drop" rest of the day went off without a hitch, cant wait to get out again! luckily my shoes are fairly tight and thats what kept my foot in check the rest of the day. once the shoe came off it swelled and thats when the pain...

    First outing, went down.

    Its a shame to say it, but yes, my first day out and I went to the asphalt. I took the canadian equiv. of the MSF course in november, got my license and bought a brand new fz6. finally had a nice enough day yesterday to go out with a friend. I had him break in my bike, and then we headed to...

    Locking your luggage?

    thanks for the replies guys. I realized with one of the upper posts that I could run a cable lock through the sleeve of my jacket/pants making it impossible to take off without cutting the leather (original idea was locking the zippers together which would be very easy to break) and shove it all...

    Better deal on a 2008?

I bought a new '08 model and got it for $6,000 (7,000 OTD)(MSRP is $9,299) and the dealership in town I bought it from (blackfoot motosports) has at least a half dozen left of the...

    Saeng TA blind spot eliminator mirrors - review

    I know what you mean about the convex-ness. The best IMO mirrors like this are the rectangular ones that angle to the sides. They dont distort at all and give a perfect image of whats next to you, the reflection isnt convex, just small enough to see the whole car. With them, If there is a car...

    Held Thrux or other?

    so you would actually suggest waiting until I can afford the phantoms rather than "cheaping" out and going for the thrux?

    Held Thrux or other?

    thanks for the quick reply. if new enough had the akira id probably feel much better with them but alas, I still feel fairly confident with these. Now the real choice is whether or not to get the Icon Field armor vest.. would that be overkill with the leather jacket (not a whole lot of armor...
