    ADV helmet choices

    As you had described in your other thread, you plan to keep it on pavement so one of the main ADV features (google compatibility) is nullified. One of the biggest challenges with ADV helmets is the peak buffetting due to the way your windscreen is set up. The windscreen would push air in a way...

    Sounds like a great sales person to build a future purchasing relationship with. If I were corporate, I'd fire him immediately though.

    M test in the rain?

    I did my M2X with Drivetest Brampton in a deluge of rain and easily passed. The biggest thing is if you are comfortable with riding in the rain. If you are not, then you will be plenty distracted. I had several experiences of being caught out in the rain by that point and had a general idea...

    Is There a Decent Mesh Jacket For Hot Weather?

    I have a Alpinestars Leonis Drystar Air Jacket. Comes with CE level 2 shoulders and elbow armor. I put a full CE2 back protector in it(Nucleon KR1i) and it can take CE2 chest armor too. I love it except the color I got it in. Problem is, the jacket wont fall apart, even after 4 years and...

    Experienced riders: which Moto accessories should a new rider get?

    Waiting for someone else to react in a pending collison is a poor substitute for acting yourself. Save your money. Relying on your horn is like replying in a forum. Easily misunderstood, long in delay, not likely you will change their trajectory.

    KTM 890 SMT

    They said 16L fuel tank. My 790 Duke is 14L and I get around 350km before low fuel light when riding conservatively. I've gone 400km on a tank, fumes at the end. I would guess that this is going to be around 400km. Rottweiler Performance just released an intake/aux fuel tank combo for the...

    Bikes with character...

    Some would say flaws, but the flaw would need to be enduring and not show stopping. There's also an element of uniqueness that adds to the experience. Sounds, sensations, looks, features. The last is self-affirmation. Look at me, I'm riding a Harley. Look at me, I'm on a Ducati. I'm...

    Yup, you can camp on the grass. They have showers as well, but 0/10 would not shower there again. Tons of asphalt space too so many bring their toyhaulers and campers. 10 minutes away are a whole bunch of hotel/motels, but they are stupid expensive cause "beachside". Grand Bend gets cold at...

    New Rider Tips and advice

    What is the actual negative effect that you believe being smoother with the throttle will solve? Or is this a question about how to be linear and precise with your wrist? (answer: don't death grip the bars) Practice. Sounds like you are still thinking about how to shift and are too distracted...

    Racer5: reviews and help

    Oh, bring aspirin. The only time I've ever experienced arm pump was on those cbr125s. Combination of bad form, buzzy engine, heat and consecutive long days resulted in the most excruciating experience without also involving falling off the bike.

    Racer5: reviews and help

    Do you have a helmet already? It would be easier to list that out instead. The helmet must be manufactured less than 6 years from the date of the course. They sent someone to buy a new helmet for that on the weekend I went. Most quality brand helmets are going to carry at least the ECE 22.05...
