Many have the mentality that full face can only be worn if you ride big bikes.

Those days when I was riding Vulcan . Many members laugh at me
Because I wear full face ( and full safety gears).
They laugh and say ride this type of bike must have the Harley rider look only gaya. You know, Harley rider look.

I know what is their response.

"Kapchai? No need full face lah! How fast can you go?"

Obviously they never seen kapchai rider with a smashed face or broken jaw after a crash.

Do consider IS17 as well.
It comes with a sun visor

Let's see how gaya will save them from broken knee. Shoulder and chin lol

Exactly
Gaya over safety.

Not only Harley riders.
But many superbike riders too.
full face, t-shirt, gloves, jeans, casual shoes
. Hebat.

Meanwhile,

Nowdays Harley Rider..

Still a valid question.

But the distinction is a very fine one between a touring type helmet and a sport helmet. Viewing angles and aero is slightly different between them.

Case in point, in my MT atom modular, I can't see shit in a tuck position when I rode my friend's zx6r. Also past 150, there was an insane amount of buffeting and lift on the helmet that gave me a headache.

There is a reason why a sport helmet usually don't have integrated sun visors. It's due to safety and the thickness of the EPS on the brow (due to the space needed to retract the sunvisor). Thick EPS on the brow means your vertical viewing angles are affected.

Aktwali, the nice guy from HJC explained this to me when I throw him this question.
It's about riding position and aerodynamic.
However, he also said many shops ask to gauge how big your dick is and sell you larger condom.
Not about how well lube you are for the action.

I am gonna put up my full gear with my full face go ride my Honda C70, go to the neighbourhood warung that's popular with BMW GS bikers, park my bike right in the middle of theirs and join them makan there. 😬

The irony is also the opposite..

Those Harley riders match their big ride with half helmets

Haiya harley davidson want to cosplay american fat yankee biker can just get SGV helmet and cheap chinese pleather jacket and jeans la

Yeah, this is the part I can't brain. Obviously if you can afford a superbike, affordability of gear isn't an issue. The irony is, I'm sure they have a few sets of it at home.

Sure you might have full confidence of your own ability not to crash..but I can't say the same about the other road users, all the time. Just look at the recent karak crash that wiped out 5 bikes. They weren't really doing all that fast, just that someone else didn't see them. Anyone that has ridden a fair bit of miles will tell you all sorts of close calls.

But I have been seeing older gentlemen on smaller scooters (mostly adv150s) in full gear now. Must be newer riders dumping cars for bike for the daily commute.

Why wouldn't they? Hahaha.

No point trying to sell you a rm68,000 Shoei if you ride a kapchai................

Even Marc Marquez crashed a couple of times. Lol.

Just like forest always say, shit happens

My late grandfather, bless his soul, when he bought me my first bike (EX5) when I was 16 much to the chagrin of my mom....., just had only one thing to say to me when we went to collect the bike. 皮包铁. Translated "skin wrap iron".

I would very much appreciate a few more extra layers of fabric, foam and plastic over the skin.......

Although I only rode the EX5 for a year before going overseas and another 6 months on my FZR..... Some 25 years later when I got back into biking, those words still rings clear.

皮包铁. Translated "skin wrap iron".
Sadly many don't take this phrase seriously. Some even laugh at me saying if so scared might as well don't ride.

some new boots switch from leather to microfiber material already

race to the bottom. Nothing beats leather.


Worst is the PU material. All start to crack and peel after a year.
