I have the RAM quick grip holder, which is beefy as hell from a durability standpoint and bafflingly cheap for a RAM product provided you have the mounts to mount it to https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-PD3U Plus it’s super quick to get your phone in and out, no lever pulling or rubber strap fuckery

Coredump posted:Ya sometimes my phone will be like "continue straight" when the very next turn I need to be in the right hand lane for and if I rely on audio cues only I'll miss it but if I can glance at my phone I can prepare for the shenanigans. All I'm saying is being able to see the navigation route is helpful at times. I run my phone mount up high in my field of vision so I don’t really have to take my eyes off the road much to see it. Helps in that regard

Bells tend to be really well received and the complaint mostly seems to be their noise, until you get up into the race models which quiet down

If you're trying to avoid looking like a dadbiker, switching from a 'stich to jeans that look like you're wearing adult diapers isn't exactly an upgrade. Galaxy brain: actually wear adult diapers so you can ride longer. You’re in the company of nascar drivers and astronauts. Can’t be all bad

I feel like anyone who’s into motorcycles enough that this knowledge casually bleeds into the minds of their extended family has dealt with this type of gift many times. I personally lean into it and wear them mostly in the garage, which, if you think about it is probably how the gift giver imagined them being worn anyway.

You’re right, in general if an empty helmet doesn’t hit the ground hard enough to crack the shell, you’re ok. Now if you were storing a cantaloupe in it for lunch when it fell then it’s a different story

Now that zenni exists and you can get glasses for like $10 a pair, you can have a set for every conceivable activity. I have a set just for VR. It’s great. You could have a set you keep with your helmet if you want.

UHHHHMMMMMM  many goldwings come with an onboard compressor installed behind the fairing. My 85 has one and it loving rules. You can adjust the suspension with it and there is a schrader valve you can hook a line up to and air up your tires. In reality all you need to carry is the air line

Anyone know who makes the Harley heated gloves? I’m sure they’re rebranded. I inherited a pair and they’re in great shape, I’ll probably wire up my bikes for them

MomJeans420 posted:Picked up one of these for chain cleaning. I realize it seems like a solution looking for a problem but I tend to go through a ton of shop paper towels when cleaning my chain and yet still get the ground wet with wd40 / lube, so this should make less mess. I’m having a hard time picturing how that works? Wanna know a terrible thing I used to do? I used to clean my chains with a rag, spray on chain cleaner, and the bike idling in first gear on a stand  Older Jim Silly-Balls knows how incredibly dumb that was

As long as you know your white gear will only ever be white when you buy it and after that will always be some form of off-white beige-ish, then you’re good

Razzled posted:personally i never had an issue with my rf1200's transition lens. if it's sunny and i go through a long tunnel or whatever i just flip it up or just leave it closed entirely and deal. it was really nice to not have to care about what lens was currently fitted to the helmet since some days i'd be in the office til night time What I want is someone to make a version of the eye shields on a welding helmet that switch in a fraction of a second (lighter tint obviously) and combine it with the system that cars use to know when to turn the headlights on and off. I’d happily charge my helmet or put batteries in it for that feature.

Slavvy posted:Been thinking about this, does having an abnormally large (not fat, not skinny tall, just normal shape scaled to 150%) child make that poo poo easier or harder? I've got another year or two until I have to worry about it, but the big bastard is 99th percentile for height and 97th for weight, he's 18mo and wears 3-4yo clothes, I routinely get queried about why he can't talk yet because people think he's three. So it's been on my mind. Buddy, are you me? Because you just described my son to a T, except mine is 9 years old and people wonder why that 14 year old acts like a 9 year old. But I got the same poo poo when he was a baby “oh he doesn’t walk yet?” “He doesn’t talk yet?”. Yeah, because he’s half as old as you think he is. It’s not really easier or harder, they just wear clothes an age level above their own. There is sort of a no mans land between youth and adult sizes that some manufacturers don’t fill well. That’s where my son is and he just has to wear kinda-too-baggy adult size small clothes for now. But even those are sold out in MX gear

Yeah that. I’d not trust that helmet in a fall because the data says you’re landing on your face, and the only thing standing between your lips and 40 grit pavement is a sheet of lexan
