Far cheaper, can fit more in, comes with waterproof cover, won't get smashed up if you drop the bike.
Ian Murphy
first
Hudson Long
Tell me why I shouldn't sell my car and get a s1000rr
Wyatt Watson
You mean the cylinders? Because the grips/locks are pretty nice.
>waterproof cover Why would you want that? I want them to be waterproof ALL the time and not having to worry about the cover flying off. How do they keep up in a crash? Because mine took a beating before one hook breaking after like 20 years.
Josiah James
Top lel.
I did get a Pakistani leather jacket though and I'm probably going to get a vector 2 add my next helmet.
Gavin Jackson
Cross threading. I'll look for rust and I'll ask about crashes. I'll get the Vin see what a Vin check shows. Anything else I should look out for? Looks surprisingly rust free.
Joshua Wilson
Rain exists, but if you're a pussy you can handle it. other than that there really aren't any reasons not to
Jason Thomas
>chink made shit tier icon helmet Icon helmets are made by J-tech, in Korea. Been around since the Nineties, Snell approved products, etc. Not china.
OP what ultra-classy lid do you put on your fat knob?
I've got an icon alliance. It looks cool, but all things considered, it's rather shit.
Elijah Roberts
Like rider like helmet.
Easton Barnes
Really? I have the "Xspeed" branded version and I like it. Not as light as my KTM branded Marushin, but more comfy around the ears, and quieter.
Bentley Bell
It's loud as fuck and has terrible aerodynamics. My next one will be an arai or shoei, something that has been actually designed for aerodynamics. Also the ventilation is shit.
Thanks for saying I look cool fampai ;)
Robert Evans
>repostan from last thread
anybody know how the riding is around Davis/Sacramento? and/or how it compares to the riding around LA?
Eli Hughes
Just spilt juice all over my keyboard.
I left the keyboard to dry for about 12 hours and the keys that got juice on are really acting up, as if they are being held down so its typing without me touching.
What should I do?It was a nice keyboard as well.
Joseph Ramirez
Install Gentoo
Jaxon Johnson
I was looking at the alliance But I was also looking at the Airmada. I've never bought a new helmet before, always hand me downs.
What's good in the $2-300 range
Mason Phillips
>Snell approved products
Snell is nothing to brag about, they're untrustworthy.
>dat belly button fluff and grey old man pubes cummies user plz stop
Luis Butler
Buy another keyboard m8.
Camden Powell
Honestly, if you have the cash, try to spend that extra 150 on a good name brand. The safety rating might be the same, but the actually quality of riding won't be. If you really don't want to sirens much, I'd get a shoei qwest
Christopher Watson
>people pay hundreds for helmet >I just paid £50 for mine (on sale 50% off) and wear some cheap noise canceling earphones underneath
Why are people so retarded with their money?
Landon Lee
Kkk every helmet is good until you try on a shoei or arai. But almost all $80-150 helmets are the same and made by the same companies like s&s, joe rocket, ls2, kbc shit
Also comfort/ventilation/design/features/fit is something earphones won't improve. On top of that if you're riding for a lot of hours even with heavy duty foam plugs you're still going to give your ears a battering while travelling at speed in a noisy helmet.
Christian Butler
Because I couldn't fit any other modular helmet. Also I use custom made earplugs, because even the most silent helmet is too loud.
Landon Kelly
Enjoy your chink shit my poorfag friend. Also dont let the muslims rape you to much because i bet you cant ride with a prolapsed anus full of kebab cum.
Jaxson Collins
You sound like jew
Andrew Garcia
Just because I have money?
Juan Gray
That is a prerequisite to being a Jew to be fair.
Jace Jones
Odds FG-17. Evens FG-ST. Dubs cheap out and buy a TR-1. Prime number buy a Shoei NXR.
Jace Cruz
I have my foreskin though
Carter Barnes
Is 0 an odd or an even?
Noah Powell
16978580 is an even number.
Zachary Hill
>American education
Anthony Gomez
Even
Nicholas Turner
But 0 though? Surely it's a class of its own.
Liam Lewis
(You)
Jeremiah Williams
Is 80 even or odd?
William Gomez
Odd because the two numbers are different.
Ryder Diaz
How do I stop wanting every motorcycle I see? I can't bring myself to buy one because I'm always by other bikes.
Hunter Cook
Buying them all
Wyatt Collins
you can't
Dylan Davis
its much worse if you really really want another bike but you already in love with the bike you own.
Logan Nelson
It never ends >Own multiple types of bikes over the years >Gixxers always my favorite to own >Decide to buy gsxr750 brand new >Now I also want a drz650 >Now I also want to buy a discounted victory >Now I want a brutale sitting as a art piece in my lounge >Kind of want a mt-10 to replace my gsxr
The ride never ends
Cooper Parker
my helmet has that sticker on the back that means its passed all safety tests.
I could get a 2nd hand shoei helmet for about £30 off gumtree though, apparently hardly used and its my size so I might just buy it and see.
Julian Gonzalez
Never buy second hand helmets
Logan Bennett
>sit on Yamaha TDM900 >it is the most boring looking bike ever >its also hands down the most comfortable bike I ever sat on >only about £2000
Uhh
Aaron Stewart
Should I just jump from used bikes to used bikes like a slut?
Jace Cooper
If you sit on the bike you like the look of you'll probably find its uncomfortable and feels shit.
Landon Morris
By buying them, motorcycling is not a hobby, it's a mental disorder.
Jose Campbell
Be the slut you always lusted to be
Bentley Nguyen
Do this for a few years before buying new. Cheap way to see what you really like
Colton Hernandez
I don't know that user. It's mostly dog hair you see.
Does Icon not count as a name brand.
I don't give a shit about noise, I have headphones. It's about comfortable, and the Icons I did have were more than comfortable, had a Shoei one time and I felt like it squished the sides of my head too much.
Gabriel Hughes
I like this advice because it enables my impulse purchase tendencies
Grayson Parker
DOT/Snell/etc. are bare minimum standards for safety. If you want to know which helmets are actually the safest you need to look at the SHARP test or something similar which actually shows you how the helmets perform in crash tests.
You don't buy second hand helmets because once they've sustained an impact they should be retired. You never know how many times a second hand helmet has been dropped or hit.
Robert Bennett
>boring looking >that front fairing >the 90's models with the dual headlight eye setup hnnngggggg
Dominic King
You could always get an xray done. Mt brother did on a helmet he crashed with cause he really liked it. Turned out to be still usable
Cameron Smith
>dog hair fucking furries
Jordan Gutierrez
I'd buy a second hand bike, keep it 8-12 months then try something new. Did this for 5 years. Brought a new bike and hate to admit the fact I feel trapped in owning it. If I sell it in a year I'll lose a ton of money.
With every second hand bike I had I made 800$+ each when I sold them
Mason Walker
Yeah or at least pop the liner out of the helmet and have a look at the crash foam for any indentations. I'm not that autistic, just parroting the 'by the book' advice so he can make up his own mind.
Isaiah Ortiz
>furries Fuck you.
I just have lots of dogs. Most of the hair was from this little shit.
Ethan Green
might have bought it but the chain looked rusty as fuck.
Nolan Bennett
NEW /WSG/ THREAD
Carson King
It is, and I love my icon gear, but their helmets are built for cheap meme factor
Parker Perez
actually help me decide, the TDM or the r850r I posted earlier Both were comfy, both look good, both are the same price and similar power. I would say the TDM edges it out in comfiness but the r850r just looks so cool to me.
Nolan Ward
why does someone keep on removing "motorcycle erotic roleplay" from the op
Jace Sanders
Because that's for women, and there's no women here
Nicholas Bennett
post boi pucci
Xavier Young
Ever tried the airmada?
I don't mind cheap so much, I'm mostly concerned about fit, and Icons seem to do it for me. If I go to a bike shop, would they just let me try on helmets.
Michael Gray
How often does this actually happen. I mean, I just don't see it
Nicholas Williams
If you really want it/ if it is worth it just buy a bare frame and swap everything over I am pretty damn sure it unscrews, i can see the threads on the cap but some are fixed. Yes you can buy new plug boots but why not just get the cap off. Also see if it fits with the cap on first.
John Barnes
get what gets your peepee hard Don't listen exclusively to us, they are both bikes worth owning, if you really like one or the other you can live with its faults
Jason Howard
>Can't even get boipucci right Kys
Yeah they'll totally let you try them on. Just say, I'm thinking about upgrading my helmet soon, could I try a few on. That ain't no thang and odds are their prices are the same as cuckzilla
Cameron Gray
Ok cool, prolly gonna stop by a place when I check my mail today. And I had no idea was revzilla was til I started looking for gear. And for some reason I get this feeling I don't like that place, also anytime I looks something up the first like 3 links is them, I hate that.
Justin Nguyen
>Because I couldn't fit any other modular helmet. Shoei Neotec Schuberth Arai Vector AGV Numo
Just a few of the models that spring to mind... Yeh I'm sure you tried all of those on before settling for your cheapshit lid.
Get the NXR, I've got the XR1100 (previous version) and its been the shit. Loads of vents to keep you cool in the summer, great field of view and aerodynamic properties. You should be more concerned with getting a helmet that fits your head, rather than specific brand/markings
Do this and its a hell of a lot cheaper, also you can self service without worrying about warranty issues and you will learn a lot more about your bike and take greater care of it,
Carter Flores
They're like the Amazon of the motorcycle world for America.
That being said, they're still retail so their prices are the same as everywhere else, but it doesn't hurt to compare the stores prices to the websites out there
John Robinson
don't fall for the electronic title meme guys 3-4 more days until I can sell my car and then save up for my 500f
Gavin Cruz
Rate my chain
Brody Hughes
The shops I been to back home were always more expensive than online. I just want something I can afford on one paycheck, and fits nice.
Liam Young
Dirty but otherwise fine. Sprocket is also fine.
William Lewis
Then try it on in store, and buy online
Andrew Long
This is a blue board, my man.
Aaron Torres
BS. Snell had nothing to do with Dexter Ford being fired. That was between the magazine and some customers. Ford has some personal problem with Snell, perhaps Don Becker fucked his wife. Whatever it was, he's pushing an theory about it that doesn't match reality.
The Snell standards allow for far less impact to the brain than DOT, and includes a quality assurance program. DOT is self-certify, and yes, there are makers who self-certify without any testing (ACC comes to mind).
Robert Scott
>Don't buy some no name chink bike. ok
Chase Flores
Just ride a bicycle until you can afford an actual motorycle.
