The Sena does. Hit the ambient mode button on the bottom of the clamp unit (20S not sure how to do it on other Senas) and you can hear outside sounds.

I'm on a 10S which definitely does not have that. Cool to know they added it to later versions though!

:aaaaa: I did not know that. Too bad my 20s just bricked itself and I'm back to ol reliable smh10r (which has better sound anyway).

I literally never thought of having a headset let the ambient noise in and now I can’t fathom one without it.

I just want Shoei or Arai to actually build the intercoms into their helmet. Give me some sort of active noise cancelling so I don't even need ear plugs. That inflatable earmuff thing that Jim found is the closest I've seen.

The problem with these integrated units is the manufacturers don't usually want to play with each other. So you get a great helmet with a lovely integrated system, or a great comms system in a lovely helmet.

A POOOST!?!??! YEEAAAAHHHH
I want a drat ece rated MC helmet with the built in ear muffs my BRP oxygen dot rated snowmobile helmet has. On my nx 250 where 55mph/90kmh is kinda the max with studded knobbies the muffs are damping more than enough. It even has cut outs and cable routing for speakers in the muffs!

Shoei GT Air II will integrate with a specific Sena headset. I think that’s about as good as we’ll get for now. But yeah it would be nice to not have to mess about with an add on.

Once again wishing Ski-doo would ship international because their latest helmet has that poo poo built in.

My bike makes a weird wobbling sensation, really strange, no idea why.



The wheel is severely buckled? How bizarre I wonder how that happened??

Crash damage? What? No I definitely haven't crashed it, I'd remember something like that!



Ooh wait hahaha yeah I remember, I rammed a parked car the other day!


I can't be confident I'm quoting the guy with total accuracy but that's how the conversation went. Still searching for an explanation that makes sense to me.

Sooo the owner of this bike contacted me, and it wasn't the guy who booked the job! Turns out he went on a holiday a week after buying it, stored it at his mate's place, said mate decided to take it for a ride, rammed a parked car, then tried to get it fixed before the owner came back.

The real question is; are you going to fix it and how much will that cost? Scrapes on the fork base rule out "just make it better again before they get back", not to mention all the other stuff I keep seeing.

Looks like it hit on the left up to the midsection to mess up the shifter, then dumped to the right to mess up the brake lever. What does the right side look like?!

My wife claims 2 bikes is too many, and I should get rid of either the MV or KTM. I told her that used bikes aren't selling well now that winter is coming and I'll wait until the weather is warm to sell the KTM. I didn't tell her about my need for a 3rd bike yet.

It's uhhh being sorted.

As to other damage, nope that's it! It honestly looks like it's never fallen over, the front damage is it.

Time for the ol' reliable "List bike for 2x it's worth and mention that you know what you got" then tell your wife you are trying to sell but nobody is buying.

I'm surprised. That's lucky. Optimistically, I guess its nice the guy immediately tried to take it some place to be repaired? Though I guess all he wanted was the "wobble" to be fixed.

Same. I started with a Challenger and needed to buy a winter vehicle, so there was already precedent for getting another vehicle to meet a different use-case.

So really the solution here is to buy another car first.

And the insurance on a second bike is usually practically free. I get comprehensive and it was $10/mo for a second bike, the default insurance would have actually saved me money.

When you really think about it; you can only ride one bike at a time. No matter how many bikes you have, it's as if you only have one. :thunk:
