Now this looks like some fun.

 

im sure its the same as the husky 701sm. either way supermoto is a blast

 

Fort Logan- 2/7/19

 

I have never seen such type of arm and leg protection for the cold. That is slick, looks to me you will be wrapped head to toe in cow.

 

The stitching on my trusty Joe Rocket Atomic 2.0 is finally wearing out, and my belly is bigger than it was ten years ago. I needed a new three-season jacket. I looked for a couple months and decided to stick with JR because I got my money's worth with the last jacket.

 

What size are you? I think I live just north of you right? I am in Atlanta.
Anyways, I am about to offload some gear if you want me to tag you when I do. All Dianese leathers, in great shape.
I will look and see what it is. Leather jacket, pants, gloves.
Someone should get some use out of this. I have switched over to a klim setup, and my Dianese is not getting used.

 

Time for a new helmet, too. My Shoei was manufactured in 2009. Though I've used it sparingly in that time, I can feel the inside foam degrading. Again, planning to stick with Shoei. My current RF-1000 is flat black, but I'm thinking of moving to another color in RF-1200.

 

6' 225lbs. I just ordered this jacket. I looked at some Dianese stuff but the things I liked were out of stock. I'm good on gloves.

 

What company makes a good Bluetooth helmet

 

most of us tend to add in the sena or uclear. it helps being able to move it around to new helmets as you change. bluetooth helmets arent that common, i think bilt has a couple but thats all i know off the top of my head

 

It was about 7* for the high that day. Hippo hands and a lap robe helped.

 

So just better off getting that then. Thank you sir

 

yeah.

a lot of people use sena but overall the sound quality lacks imo.

i know some who use uclear (i used to have an older model) and they say it blows the sena out with quality. ill probably go back if i need a new one

 

Yeah I just picked up sandpaper prepping to re spray my fairings. I think not riding for 6yrs is too long gotta get back in to it.

But definitely looking into the Bluetooth thing

 

definitely. i didnt for 4 years while i was in college and regret that decision entirely

 

Unfortunately life tends to get in the way. I'm actually thinking of selling my Tacoma lost job last month. Might be cold as fuck in jersey but I owned a motorcycle before I even owned a car when I first got my license. Smh

 

Here is mine.
Inherited from my pop. Rip

Mine mostly collects dust.
Just to danm scary to ride with all the idiot drivers around.

I'll stick to the dirt

 

One of the biggest reason why I stopped riding. My older brother was killed back in 2006 two month after I was hit on my motorcycle. Too many phone users and that was before smart phones were smart

 

All my friends say I have cat lives. I've been hit in my bike three times. The only accident my brother got into he gets killed. Luck of the draw I guess
