Any recommendation for helmet cam... might start doing a moto vlog....

any of you bought any gears from revzilla before?

currently which jacket you rocking?
managed to pass through customs without tax?

Actually. There is always a question if this is ori Komine. It's anyone's guess.  If it isn't, it's a very convincing copy. But judging from the model codes, it's likely old discontinued lines, so either the factory just never stopped producing them or these are overproduction that "disappeared" from the factory, which is "normal" from Chinese garment factories.

Doesn't bother me either if it is or isn't. Minor niggles aside which are cheap and easy to repair, it served we well, especially for the price paid.

I'm using my own ce1 armour anyway.

Didnt notice any holographic tags on the jacket itself. No idea then, threw away all the tags already if it was on the tags. Haha

Anybody got budget cam recommendation? I realize for bike I don’t need a screen or touch screen — difficult to use with gloves. If anything, need tactile buttons just to turn on and record.

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.

Or a cheap cheap one from china. Claims to be viscous-elastic like D3o.

Use first until can afford a proper CE2 back pad from a branded manufacturer. Still loads better than the useless foam ones that serves as a placeholder only.
I have one. it is very thick, about 15mm. Vents decently. Cons, quite heavy.
Replaced it with this;


Its lighter and ventilates better. But effectivenes is anyones' guess. Paid 85 on discount. Both is from same seller and same brand.

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.

my search finally ended last weekend...got my replacement for my Rev'It Trail H2O boots which is literally disintegrating. damn bang for buck boots. Bought at RM369 during some phased off clearance sale 5 years ago, done thousands of KMs with those boots.

checked out 3 TCX Waterproof boots:

1/ TCX S-TR1 Waterproof
- just looked ugly
- but looks to have the best protection as its more race inspired.
- also more expensive at 1.8k

2/ TCX Airtech 3 Gore-tex
- Looks good in pictures but IRL is really ugly.
- had a bit too much textile on the outer layer to have any confidence in it. prefer a more leather or leather-ish type outer layer.
- also more expensive at 1.8k

3/ TCX Explorer 4 Gor-tex
- Looks better than (2) but when walking around the sole felt really thin. and i have feet aches so no go for me
- the sole also looked to be the slippery kind.
- the ortholite inner sole is quite soft when pressed with fingers, but again, when walking around, sole felt really thin

so instead i got me Rev'It Link GTX Gore-tex boots from LSH (RM1539 iirc)
- full grain leather outer layer and looks more robust than the 3 TCX boots, especially when on the feet
- also has ortholite soles but not as soft as the Explorer 4 when pressed with fingers.
- overall thicker sole making walking more comfortable for me
- sole also is a little more "studded" so abit more confidence especially on wet surfaces.
- suspect itll be the warmest of the boots as it has zero textile outer layer so lesser ventilation compared to (2) & (3).

also picked up Alpinestars Andes V3 Waterproof pants from Bikeworld Kepong (RM1099 before 5% discount)
