Hello to all the sifus,
I have some questions regarding riding bike gears. I am planning to ride to work everyday with a one way distance of 10km to my office. My budget is around Rm 3000 (around 862 sgd). The main thing for me is I want to separate work and leisure gears (if it’s possible two sets).
I am looking to get 2 helmets (1 for work & 1 for leisure), one riding jacket (was thinking to wear the jacket for work commute and buying those knee and elbow guard for leisure ride OR get another riding jacket if budget permits) and gloves.
* the main thing is I want to have two sets of gears
Questions are
1. Can an armoured jacket fold and stored together with a Modular helmet into a 46L top box?
2. Let say I’m getting a mesh jacket, do I still need to buy a rain jacket?
3. Is knee & elbow guard protective when I’m wearing shorts and T-shirt?
4. Should I get all the gears in Malaysia or Singapore?
5. Last but not least, any recommendations with the budget above and place to get it? (Yes I’m trying to get spoon fed by you all)
6. One more thing, Vespa 150 vs Yamaha X Max 300 vs Honda Forza 350? Leaning towards Vespa due to the brand but in reality practically comes first 🙃
Thank you.
In case you think short distance ride is safe and do not need to wear safety gears.
Just last week my neighbour rode to nearby shops for lunch.
Crashed.
Fracture his elbow.
Hairline crack on his kneecap
Big road rash on his arm and palm
Why? Just as many thinks. Aiyahhh. Ride short distance only. Nothing will happen. No need wear safety gears.
Good thing was he was wearing a fulllface. If not his jaw will kena too.
My advice to you. Ride to work or leisure.
Atgatt. Including the knee shin guards.
