does it hinder awareness in city riding situation?

There is a specific way to use foam type...make sure ur wearing it properly

The silicone type hurts my ears like hell so i dont use them.

Next time for the peace of mind, just buy from authorized sellers.
Motogear, Motoworld, LSH, etc.

Too many fakes are sold over the internet and worse of all, they are not cheap either.

already kena warning not to buy anything new after i brought back the zeus.

hopefully warning level will reset next year. haha

That's why I stop going into these shops unless I really have things to buy

Scared every time go see look see look, something will follow me back.

Thanks for sharing.

...in my group, I'm known as poison king. Will racun gao gao. No one is safe.

Even when I said quality no good, don't buy, still managed to racun someone. Hahahahahahahaa

i have a pair of fakie komine gauntlets...

i bring them to a coin laundry and dump them in with my other laundry.... even drying i campak into the drier....

i do the same with everything... riding jackets, pants, gloves, helmet liners.....been over 5 years since i started doing it and nothing has failed on me so far.

IMHO... riding gear are meant to be tough not just during the crash but also to take the constant wind, sun, rain, mud etc etc... if it can handle all that for long periods, it can handle an hour in a washing machine and drier. they arent as fragile as people make it to be.

Technically u should....but i dont bother. I just leave everything in..i only remove the back padding so that the jacket will be more flexible to tumble in the machines.

The pads may lari abit in their slot but adjust alil n it's fine

Ive been doing this to my rs taichi jacket (6 yrs old), rs taichi pants, my various gloves and iz2 jacket.

I recently bought a komine jk137 but havent washed yet...only worn it twice so far

i bought earplugs and it arrived yesterday.  Not sure if i've gotten the wrong earplugs (mack's pillosoft silicone putty earplug), but the isolation is very good. too good till i forgot to even shift to 6th gear.. The wind noise did reduce alot tho. I'm getting used to the isolation feeling. It is still quite a weird sensation for me, going to 100% road noise to like 20% road noise does feel a little eerie at times.

Whoever said that lol

I use IEMs, can still hear my surroundings but wind noise levels definitely sees a huge drop

Also are MHR flip helmets any good? Or are there any better sub 400 options?

can't be worse than open faces, right?

Sorry but when your are riding, its better not to get distracted by having a conversation with your friends over the intercom.  You need full focus and alert to ride safely.

hi guys.

KYT TT Course

Zeus VS KYT which is more recomended ?

trying to see how much you will be willing to spend?

Different styles of bike can match with different styles of helmet ma...

Takkan bawak superbike but wanna pakai nazi helmet?

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.
