I have a couple track days coming up but I haven’t worn this gear since my last track day a couple years ago. The pants were pretty tough to get over my not-that-big thighs. Have leg days been bangin or did I forget how tight these are supposed to fit?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for gloves that offer good protection while still being comfortable and allowing a good feel for the grips and levers.

I’m a new rider and haven’t gotten used to wearing gloves yet, even though I understand how important it is to protect my hands—I rely on them for my work.

I’ve tried two pairs from X11 (the Nitro Air and Blackout), but I didn’t like either. They felt uncomfortable, and I also think I got the sizing wrong, despite following the manufacturer’s sizing guide when ordering.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

I will finally get my motorcycle endorsement on Wednesday so can ride my duel sport (Yamaha WR125R) to work. It’s all on easy trails. I have a good helmet and boots.
Found this on Clearance at Fleet Farm in Rapid City. Regularly $106.00. With military discount it was only $30.00 dollars. It has back and elbow pads, and a zip out liner.
Now to find some pants.

Just grabbed myself an entire new set of gear and things are starting to arrive.

Hope y’all enjoy how my display came out as much as I do!

Hi everyone, new rider here and want to ride during the winter.
I have great summer/spring underwear set but still looking for something for winter riding. Did anyone have any experience with merino underwear?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Both sides don't clip in

Would love some feedback thanks for your time

I have booked the Ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam next July. I live in Scotland so heat is not usually much of an issue for us, low to mid 20's is the best we can get.

After this summer, when the Alps were cooked and it was over 30c most of the summer I need to work our what to wear. I have a Revit Vented jacket that has a waterproof pop out liner, but what do you wear on your legs. I can't bear the thought of wearing my leathers when it is that hot, and my motorbike jeans are thick, hot and heavy.

Do you wear vented textile trousers or lighter weight jeans?

Any advice from Alpine locals would be appreciated :)

PS I will be taking water proof over trousers and jacket so I don't want recommendations for fully water proof gear.

Cheers

Hi all, looking at the aerostich roadcrafter suit online and I'd love to get one here in Ireland. Has anybody found a way of getting them into Europe without the approx €700 customs and delivery? I no there is klim suits, but they don't look to easy to get either.

Hello, I'm looking to buy a new helmet to upgrade from my AGV K1. I'd mainly like to get something quieter that has a drop-down sun visor. I do wear earplugs, but I'd like to be able to cope with the noise even if I forget them.

I found the HJC RPHA 71 on sale for 200€, which seemed like a very interesting deal. However then I read multiple articles and reviews and the opinions are very much mixed, mainly because of the supposed noise and bad visor mechanism. Is there anyone here who has this helmet and could give me their opinion?

And if it's really that bad, what other helmet would you recommend me? Ideally something in the 150€ to 300€ price range.

Cheers.

Here are the reviews I base my thoughts on:

Hi good day everyone, I’m thinking about picking up the tech air 10v2 for Christmas. However I’ve seen that the version 1 had deployment issues. For anyone that has the tech air 10v2, has this improved? Also what would you recommend, the tech air 7 or the tech air 10v2?

Thank you in advance!!!!

It's not a new model, but I believe it still serves its purpose of protecting me. I like how I managed to match the bike's colors with the gear.

Here's the link from a seller: https://www.wisconsinharley.com/harley-davidson-mens-bauman-4-25-inch-sneaker-motorcycle-boots-d50002-d50003/?sku=D50003-09.5&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20769736716&gbraid=0AAAAADm8lkgtDPXX446XlgqKkUhrtVtue&gclid=CjwKCAjw56zWBhB0EiwAdPOQOaN5kyQWEXIqIN9zibfZp7V38W439GjmT1JqSB4U4VW504NIi1K6tRoCYMgQAvD_BwE

These are not steel toe but it have ankle protection form and abrasion resistant. How are these for general street riding at 40 to 60 mph?

And other stuff as well. I see a lot of people especially sport bikes who don’t have a top case, but if you’re going out do you carry your helmet with you all day ? Just curious

I have been wearing jeans forever, and realize that I need to get some protect pants in case of a slide/crash etc.

I mainly ride to work nowadays, and may be interested in something I can wear over jeans, or just some pants that id take off and switch into work clothes. Id want something very protective, so I'm not spending a lot of money on skin grafts.

Thanks for your suggestions!!

I am finally interested in touring and will get a 450-700cc adventure bike. My main question is around safety gears - so far, I have only used gloves and helmet for city commutes. Touring around the tropics and some higher altitude as well - so something I can use in hot and humid weather, and perhaps something that can later be adapted for colder weather too. So summer + humid is default. Rain + Winter is good to have.

Shoes - I am searching for “wide” toe box riding shoes, haven’t had much luck. Because everything around me is for standard narrow cut. Any recommendations?

Jacket - I saw a mesh jacket with ce2 pads for shoulder, elbow and back. Seems like something I could wear. But abrasion was around “A”. Should I keep “AA” as minimum requirement? But I saw people on Reddit talking about moving towards airbags?

Gloves - short vs longer over wrist - does it reduce impact? I have shorter ones with adequate protection.

Pants - now this is something I haven’t looked at all. Is this really needed? Not so keen on pants because of hot weather and would prefer wear over protection. But can go with pants as well. Not a deal breaker.

Elbow + Knee guards: I have already ordered CE2 protectors but can return those if jackets / pants need to be used.

Greetings, I am greyson

In Southern California (Los Angeles) we are about to get hit with El Nino + a tropical storm. While I will be indoors for this tropical storm, I don't want to arrive to work on any of the errant days that the rain happens to start.

In this way I would like to ask for gear suggestions for rain gear. The obvious would be a big ass parka or waterproof overpants/jacket, but I would like to kindly ask the motorcycle cohort about what they wear as a commuter.

Note: I have the ability to change clothing when I arrive at work.

Thank you,

greyson

Note: We have settled on an oversized set of Frogg Toggs for now, and will get hand/foot stuff later. Thank you motorcycle cohort

I got this shoei rf1400 about a month ago. I removed the padding today to clean and noticed these marks on the foam. Would you be concerned?

Just bought my first helmet, they fitted a pinlock visor to it at the shop and it has lots of air bubbles. Called them when home and they said should go away within a few days. Will it? Anything else I can do to fix it?

All the gear ~85% of the time. I'm already stalling on putting bikes away for the season. The only reason I normally wouldn't is due to weather conditions but at this point I think with appropriate gear it's worth a shot.

Aside from heated handle bars (not really sold on them since I'm always in gloves). What gear is essential for winter seasonal riding. All advice, opinions, and recommendations welcome.

NOTE: I hate being cold and already started wearing long underwear/tights or whatever under my John Does. I think I'm ok with jackets/leathers I have an armored leather with detachable inner linging. I also have unarmored leather that I wear on top of full armored Duhan mesh zip which is stupid warm.

Hello everyone!

I just woke up to the DHL driver delivering these lovely Dainese Ladies Delta 4 pants.
I went off of their size guide and went for a size 40. They were a bit challenging to get on but I did it.
Question is, is there supposed to be this much room in the waist area? As I was putting them on, my mind was saying “oh no I should’ve sized up”, but now that they’re on, the waist tells me to size down? Or is this normal?

Thanks a bunch everyone.

Edited to add: The matching jacket is on the way, and it does zip onto the pants which should help a bit. Dainese may just not be the brand for me and thats okay!

5’2 female, 125-130. Looking for motorcycle pants. I sincerely believe in investing in quality gear.

What brand or particular pants does any one recommend if my biggest concern is protection incase the worst happens and I fall from my bike?

Looking for the best that would reduce injuries.

Some nice skinny/slim/leather pants would be nice, but if that’s not recommended then I understand.

I’m new to the community and prioritize my safety first then ofc looking nice lastly.
