Interesting read. I just replaced the standard tungsten bulb with this 1157 https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/tail-brake-turn/1157-led-bulb-dual-function-28-smd-led-tower-bay15d-retrofit-car/1644/#/tab/Overview And it is in fact at "full" power when idle and no brake. When brake is ...

Ok, so i have been looking at those new A* jackets as well for my lady. If I am not mistaken, these new windbreaker types are not your average textile jacket. I believe they are one time use unfortunately. I'm pretty sure Anthony (RZLA TV guy) says in the video review that they will save you in a fa...

A little old, but one of the most inspiring compilations of MotoGP badassery. They make it look so damm easy. Jumping and tire sliding like a boss

Oh crap, thats gorgeous...
im having a motoexistential crisis after seeing this

I've only had textiles from sport brands like Aplinestars and Icon. Had a Joe rocket back when it was very popular, the brand seems to be bouncing back after a few years of no new product. My experience with textile stuff is limited to these brands only. I think it sounds like your needs call for a ...

Very cool looking touring bike. I dig it. This is a new kind of bike for me. I just got to try a friends BMW with DCT and it was actually really fun, the torque was a little lacking in the shift but if im not mistaken i think thats the whole point. The last thing you want is the bike doing a wheelie...

@Steph Thats awesome, i wish i had thought of that / seen that video. I have been experimenting with gopro helmet mounts for years and always felt the drag, weight, or obviousness until i decided to do the chin mount. I have friends that have HJC helmets that have a flat enough chin to take a gopro ...

@dkazzzled No of course not. I was just elaborating on the definition. Truthfully, i think squids are idiots when they repeat the same mistakes or genuinely know better, but choose to make poor gear decisions. I wonder just how good textile jackets are in falls at any decent speed? For scooting arou...

@tbln930 - I'm jealous! Bone chilling cold for me. But, I did order my new Shoei RF 1200 helmet! :D Got the Beacon with the hi-viz yellow stripes. @fish - Riding your scoot at -19 degrees! o_O Awesome purchase! I love mine. You're going to really enjoy the wider view and anti-fog insert. And it com...

From the comments I've read from motorcyclists: 1. Squids are idiots, and 2. If you're going to ATGATT, why not get a real bike? Which is my dilemma when I compare the oh so attractive $3699 Suzuki GW250 vs. the $3899 Honda PCX150. On one hand, if I'm going to ATGATT, then it's tempting to just get...

I usually see scooterists wearing more protective gear than your average harley rider too

cool factor or fool factor im not sure

What is that 'pull red cord and remove cheek pad' in emergencies about? Its a feature that some of the newer helmets have that allow the cheekpads to be pulled out vertically, or from the bottom. If a rider is on the ground its generally a bad idea to remove his/her helmet. It can and has caused se...

Yes, squidding is also how you ride and just what you ride with. Although the pcx is no crotch rocket, falling off sucks at any speed. Skill level and experience aside there are situations that are borderline unavoidable. Like being cut off, lane changed into, SMIDSY situation as its called in the U...

Yeah, chin mounted really is the way to go. My RF-1100 doesnt have a large enough flat spot in the chin to get the sticky on right, or maybe im just not trying hard enough.

Was using a gopro 3+black sidemounted to helmet, even with the smaller case there was alot of wind drag at speed. I switched to a Contour +2 and have that sidemounted without the waterproof case, wind drag is much better at speed. Gopro now works on the tank and tail (on a motorcycle) for 2nd angle ...

I've gone down in jeans before doing about 25-30mph. Slid for a moment but in reality it was like 10-15ft at least. Jeans looked alright until i saw red spots forming, my knee and thigh was burning and completely strawberry, there were streaks of brown "skin" stuck to the inside of the jea...

The way I feel about buying gear is sort of the way I feel about buying clothes/shoes. When you can finally afford a really good/nice high end pair of shoes, they feel better, look better, get you compliments, and usually last much longer. They become kind of uncomparable to another pair unless in ...

Id try superbrightleds.com You could also get a set of motorcycle turn signals, any LED type of your choice, and use splice clips to click right into your existing brake wires. I plan on doing this myself when i get some kind of cargo box (givi) for our PCX, plan on mounting them to the corners of t...

Two reasons:
1: Its the most conspicuous (scientifically proven fact)
2: You'll look like the Stig

Isn't wanting to look like the stig the saddest of the sad?

Only if you're wearing his Simpson Diamondback on your scooter or motorcycle.
