r/motorcyclegear

Just got it today. Fantastic fit. The materials inside are top notch. Little bit of wind noise on the freeway but I may have to get better earplugs. If you’re wondering where the spoiler is , It cracked right down the middle. It lasted one ride. I stopped to get a coffee and i noticed it was cracked and about to fall off. So I took it off and it went right into the garbage 🗑️. And I’m not paying another $130 for another flimsy piece of junk.

Other than that, if you’re thinking about making the jump and if you can afford it, i recommend you should.

Just recently purchased this Rumbler jacket from Black Pup Moto in Australia in a size small. It’s an excellent jacket, well made, quality thick leather, looks awesome, but even as a small it feels too large for me being 175cm and 65kg.

There is quite a bit of spare room around my waist and chest and the sleeves are about 20-30mm longer than I would like. Having the cuffs zipped up keeps the sleeves in a reasonable position but there’s constant downward pressure on my wrists thanks to the stiff leather and it messes up my gloves when riding (though I don’t have gauntlet style gloves). Unzipping the cuffs they drop down to my knuckles. There is also a lot of excess room in the upper arm/shoulder, plenty of room for my biceps to grow 2 times their diameter (if only).

Unfortunately this is the smallest size they make this jacket, but I’m thinking I’ll probably have to return it. Though maybe I’m just being too pedantic?

I’m hoping I’ll have better luck with a Merlin Miller, Hixon II, or Stockton in a size 38. If anyone has any of these jackets and is on the slim size, how is the fit?

I’m leaning toward the Miller but concerned about the perforated arms in winter or if caught in the rain, though it would be perfect through the warmer months. Otherwise maybe the Hixon but it looks to have a boxier fit (I don’t have the broadest shoulders so might not work well for me) and stiffer leather from the promotional photos, but maybe not? The Stockton would also be great but I don’t like the look of it as much.

Any input is much appreciated!

Sedici just dropped their new limited edition strada 3 (2000 units) and I'm strongly considering buying it as a second helmet. I already have a rf 1400.

What do you guys think of the helmet? Anyone that has a strada 3 care to share their thoughts? What do we think of the combo with my bike?

My wife started learning to ride with this older Bell and is now looking for a tinted visor, but I can’t find a model number listed anywhere. I’m hoping someone here can help give some guidance on what this could be. Thank you!

Multiple reasons here but the thing is when knee dragging I end dragging too the top of the boot. Its a mix of the pegs position, my own height and the feet position.

The thing is my current smx are very well worn and need replacement. But in case I cant 100% avoid dragging them I dont want to expend hundreds knowing they wont last much.

Any good recommendation for track boots? Ive been looking around but even the smx I have are now over 250 often which is crazy thinking I got them for around 150 years ago.

Thanks in advance everyone! Will love to read any feedback you have

What do y'all think bout it? I am 19 and finally saved up for it

tl;dr: No, the stuff doesn't meet current safety standards at all.

Now watch the video and learn something:

Hi all, I have a Shoei RF-1400 Beaut. I noticed that air leaks inside the helmet from the chin area and so much so that my eyes turn red. All vents are closed. I even checked the visor fitting with a small card and air seal is perfect. When I cover my chin area with hand, i notice less air. This is even after installing the factory chin curtain. Has anyone found a thicker chin curtain or an aftermarket version? Balaclava is an option but that is another piece of gear I need to incorporate in my getting ready routine. So, looking for alternatives

I ride a Yamaha MT-10 SP which has fairly upright position with no windshield.

Bought a new helmet Neotec 3 with a Cardo 4X-S daughter got me a Brake Free light. It was painful to put it on a brand new helmet. But I promised my kids I would be safe as possible. I was almost rear ended at a res light. That's when my daughter got me it. If it helps a little its worth it. Coming from a AGV K6 its going to take a little to get used to the extra weight od the new helmet.

I was interested in buying a quadlock mount for my phone, but i’ve heard horror stories about people camera getting damaged even with the vibration dampener. I couldn’t find any recent information on it so I wanted to see if that is still the case. I have a 2017 SV650 and an IPhone 17 pro.

Having a great deal of trouble finding a fitting helmet. I tried on every single one in cycle gear and the shoeis felt the best by a lot. Just have questions to whether this one fits good enough.

I tried the small on and my nose hit the chin bar lol (big nose 😂)

Just got my A2 licence and don't want this to happen on a bigger bike
