Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Got a little ride in yesterday, tried out the new Scorpion Covert Pro jeans. Very comfortable. Doesn’t come with pads, but has pockets for adding if you choose. I got some knee pads in them. ATGATT.

 

I forgot how much being in a helmet while hungover sucks I'm real glad my commutes only a few minutes.

 

Real talk though I have the Men’s Thermoball™ Traction Mule V and it's an incredible slipper for at home or walking around camp. That snowstorm pic I posted a page back, I had to wear those to get out of the tent in 8" of snow and my feet stayed dry and the snow stayed out. Thinking about getting another pair for dedicated home use and a beater camp pair.

 

These are the thing people don’t talk about when they romanticize riding. I sneezed once I’m my helmet and it was horrible. Sprayed the inside of my visor and couldn’t wipe my nose until I pulled over to take it off. The faint saliva smell was kinda gross until it aired out too.

 

Lol one more bonus to wearing a full balaclava whenever I ride. The balaclava may get even grosser, but its much easier to be able to just take that off and wash it by itself, than doing the helmet liner.

 

I sneeze in threes, violently, and I'm always afraid I'm going to have like violent arm twitches and crash. Zero fun sneezing in a helmet.

 

printing a helmet rack, ordered one from china but it may never show.

 

Interesting design. Does the chin bar hang off the large hook and gloves off the smaller ones or does the helmet sit over all three? Post up pics once you have it printed! (and possibly an .STL after that if it works well haha)

 

hoping the side hooks to use for my jacket and tail bag

this is the hook I use for my helmets at home and in all my shops at work. I found that some of the other hook designs were the layers of the print cross the hook portion, they tend to fatigue and break. I stack a series of these smaller hooks to hang: helmet, jacket, and bag.

 

I need a crf110, the pw50 is too small.

 

I did a 200 mile snow machine ride into Canada after a solid night of drinking and it was pretty miserable for the first half. Every burp just smelled of vomit and with a helmet and balaclava that really just sticks right in your face.

 

Looking like Christian Craig out there!

 

Not the cleanest print and i stripped the screws going into the stud but it holds fine.
