Killer price on the back protector. We wants deals too, Ghostt!

I think the only gear (vice parts) I've bought since my last post was a REV'IT! Cyclone 2 H2O Rain Jacket. Packs up nicely in even my smallest backpack (22L REI Stuff Daypack), and does what it claims on the tin when worn over my existing jacket. I'd recommend it.

Finally got myself some proper riding pants - a pair of Bilt Iron Workers Steel jeans.

Plus I got some Qwi nerve protector gloves, since I was starting to have numbness issues in my hands from the vibration of the bike. I have to say, these really work - I was expecting them to not, especially for the price. But they really do make a huge difference. Got the spandex top ones, probably going to invest in some gauntlet-type ones for colder days/more protection.

And a Schampa helmet skirt. Not sure about this one: it sure keeps my neck warm and does keep out a little more wind noise, but turning my head becomes quite the chore while wearing it.

Another personal option to help fight the bar buzz

Extra Heavy Bar Ends






Also a better set of grips, Pro Grips are a popular choice.

Keep me posted on the longevity of the loop side of the velcro, I have the Cyclone jacket and the Pacific suit and the loop side of the velcro doesn't hold well over time... I'm starting to have difficulty to attach it properly. Maybe it doesn't like water...

How is this as a windbreaker? If you were wearing a perf jacket with this on top when it's 50 degrees would you be ok?

You should be fine. I mainly use it early spring/late fall as a windbreaker and to add visibility in low light while commuting to work.

I completely block wind, so you put your jacket underneath and add mid layer if you need it.

I rode with it in temperature down to low 40°, I don't feel wind getting in, but I wear warm layer under my motorcycle jacket.

That's great to hear. I'll have to pick one of these up, thanks!

So after losing a good amount of weight i found i needed a smaller jacket. My XL Joe Rocket Cleo was way too floppy and driving me nuts. So we hit up Revzilla in Philly and i found this Olympia Switchback 2 in large that fit me like a glove! Very flattering to the full figured or curvy ladies. Best fit over the hips i've ever found!

They have to poop before they go home? Huh. I'd probably just wipe the kid's butt with a warm towel, like you do with kittens that are separated from their mom too early.

Got a slightly used pair of Stylmartin Indian Boots. I had been watching these for a while. Nice looking but with some protection. I couldn't make myself buy them at the $285 asking price but I managed to snag a pair off eBay for $90. Score!

[IMG]indian,[/IMG]

After a closer look at them I think they are over priced at MSRP. The leather is nice but not the toughest I've encounterd. It already shows a fair amount of wear and scuffing. I don't see these holding up well to long term use. The sole is hanging tough though. The armor could be more substantial around the ankles as well. With thicker leather and armor these could look just as nice looking but more protective.

I'll keep these and use them for short rides when I'm meeting people but they aren't a high mileage everyday boot.

Bought a new helmet to replace my Scorpion that aged-out -


Like all my recent gear purchases, I bought it from Riders Discount through a forum where I am a member and they are a vendor. If you are planning to buy any gear, and are a member on a forum where they are a vendor, PM them for a price. They absolutely killed the online prices for this helmet. Not even close.

There are numerous forums where RidersDiscount is a sponsored vendor.

I believe you need to be a forum member for a certain amount of time with a certain amount of posts to qualify, but I'm not positive.

Thanks. The RPHA series is their top of the line. This one has the drop-down sun visor. They have a more race version with different graphics and a slightly different shape. This is the street version.

So far I'm impressed with the finish and overall quality. The Scorpion that it replaced was about 10 years old, and held-up well. I was looking for some simple graphics, but what I saw from Shoei, Scorpion, Bell, and Arai was just to swirly/tribal for me.

We'll see how this one does in the long run, but it looks and feels pretty solid.

Checked the model at motosport.com, since they support Malaysian's Ringgit currency conversion in their shopping cart. The price is way... way.. cheap if you get the RPHA models here in Malaysia.

But the shipping cost is the same if you get it here but excluding the import duty excise..

Conclusion : Get it here although not many motorcycle dealers carry this brand.

Got my first ever jacket!

Second hand and the padding didn't come with it, but I'll order those before I ride with it

Just had these delivered. Over the years I feel I have depended on others for tools a bit too much, so I am building my trailer tool box up. I will do a full review on these, because my stuff has to work, work right, work well and work fast. If these don't make the cut, you will know exactly why.

Just scored a gently used pair of ICON Moto Strongarm Enforcer 2 Denim Jeans off eBay for $59 USD.

Below is a product description from the manufacturer:

The Icon Strongarm 2 Pants is a quality street-riding jean developed by Icon who has over a decade of category experience in reinforced denim. This denim pant features Aramid reinforced knee panels, tough denim chassis, and ICON's relaxed street fit. With Icon's no b.s. policy regarding this category, they are surely crafing the past, present, and future one stitch at a time.

Key Features

Icon relaxed fit
Durable denim chassis
Abrasion resistant Aramid reinforced knees
Size 38

Strapless transport system... a steal at $80, given that new ones go for north of three bills.



Link to original page on YouTube.

Required some redneck engineering to make up for a missing/stripped out release knob, plus the replacement of some nuts and bolts.

The arms unlock and swing. You roll your bike in, they grab the forks and automatically lock into place. Really cool, very secure, doesn't load the suspension at all.

As you can see from the video no straps needed, but I'll likely still use one on the rear wheel as a safety measure just in case the locking mechanism fails.

Not quite as trick as the Pitbull TRS but for the price I'm not complaining....
