Haiya.. it's very important for us to inform each other of suicharboh around us.

Ok
Then this is ok. No problem.

my previous shark did not have.

but it isn't a full carbon shell so to speak. only outer layers are carbon fiber, internals are still EPS

Hmmm... i been riding with short pants, slippers and also a shirt... not sure what gear to get and what is best for a beginner... haha... still searching... or anyone can recommend which shop to look for?

Thanks in advance... haha...

I've been eyeing on Blueskysea DV988, roughly RM600-700. But I also want to add aux fuse box for expansion in the future.

I recommend riding boots with ECE rating first. Skin on tarmac vs crushed ankle/foot. Easier to grow skin than bones.

Second is gloves. But there are affordable gloves, so should get it together with the boots.

Then in the meantime can wear normal jeans and denim jacket, won’t save much skin in a slide but beats t shirt and shorts.

For that price you should take a look at HP M550. That's the only motocam that I know that comes with Sony starvis sensor.

Get the hp m550
I'm using one. No ragrets.

I picked up a second hand GoPro black 7 instead. Found one in covid storage condition. lol bought right before covid and just kept since then.

Your 3 most important safety gear is helmet, gloves and boots. Those items should be prioritized before getting anything else.

There are a few good recommendations in this thread already. Just scroll up the pages.

Next up are riding pants....they could be demin or whatever material.. They won't slide well but for just a slight premium over normal jeans, they do offer armour pockets for your knees and shin, as well as hip. However the main benefit is that they are more comfortable as they have stretch fabric at the correct places and cut for riding position. Proper ones have Kevlar lining but they are expensive. Good if u can afford them.

i would rate jacket above gloves and boots, with a toss up gloves over jacket only because human tendency to reach out breaking a fall. and most lighter crashes your gloves would protect a lot more than a jacket.

your vital organs are in your chest, and rib cage/spine is kinda important.
however yes, my perspective is obviously from my own experience especially since my massive accident back in 2016

Well accidents can be unpredictable. Obviously best to completely armour up. But stats do show the most common serious injury (ie bone breaks) are from hands and lower legs.

Hell, I've seen someone break a leg after falling from the titi.

Especially for newer riders, most falls are low speed jatuh bodoh type. I've done my fair share of those.

Don't get me wrong..I'm not saying jackets and pants are not important. But due to the fact bike gear isnt cheap, new riders should prioritize the 3 essential gears before moving to pants and jackets.

okok... will slowly see see and survey... takut beli online size not ngam... especially the boots and gloves...

so prev sunday i went and put my balaclava and riding jacket into the coin laundry.
just removed the back and chest plate.

came out ok.
really ok in fact.
felt cleaner than when i hand wash it.

so next day i go and put my komine jacket in there.


turn out great also.
smelling nice.
gonna start washing everything at the coin laundry.



oh the jacket instruction label specifically said hand wash only.

Soft RS Taichi jacket can be put into the washing machine safely but don't forget to take out the protectors.

Battery life is pretty crap though. Good for motovlogging, but not so good as a dashcam.

Good point. Got 2 batteries, still not enough for longer trips if I ever do it.

I swear by the Healtech Thunderbox.

It's fused, it automatically senses the switched load to trigger itself on, it's programmable and it's literally idiot-proof. Makes rigging up your DVR & aux spotlights super easy - fuck the wire splicing, relays and tapping into a switched circuit to trigger the relay etc coz all you hv to do is just plug the +ve & -ve into this baby, while it does all the rest.

When you have an electronic-everything bike and you're scared you're just one bad wire tap away from a total electronic breakdown, this thing is worth its weight in gold.

I run my Akaso 7 action cam on 720P on looping. 1 battery can last about 3+ hours. with 2 batteries, I dont see my bum out lasting it on a single day of riding.

That said, a wired in solution will be much better as a permanent setup as you dont have to worry someone stealing your action cam when your bike is unattended.
