does it hinder awareness in city riding situation?

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.

Got a new riding jacket today, Shima Mesh pro . This will replace my RM220 Benkia Jacket for my daily rides to the office



Benkia riding jacket

Nope, doesn't come with it. Have to purchase

Had a low slide 2 weeks after i bought my Shima Jacket, landed on my right arm and slided across the tarmac. Walked out with zero abbraision on my arms or palms. I was wearing my Shima mesh pro & Benkia GK333 gloves.

Condition of my jacket after the crash


Benkia GK333 took it like a champ, no holes, if you notice, there is slight sign of abraision on the palm area.

Went to Pertama complex to fix up my jacket as reccomended by @jaycee1, however there were so many tailor/repair & alteration shop there. At first i went to a regular jeans alteration shop but they reccomended me to come to this shop instead.


The tailor took one look at my jacket and he said it could fix it up in 1-2 hour.
End result:


For those who want to know how i had my lowslide? Well, it just rained & the road was wet, i was filtering inbetween cars and i didn't look far enough to notice that there was a car changing lane. A bike infront of me braked and i reacted too abruptly and jammed up my front brakes. Bike had no ABS, so there was nothing much i can do after the wheel locked up

Damaged some stuff on my bike. (brake lever, flairing, handle balancer, side mirrors & rear passenger foot pegs)


Got it fixed up with new flairings

What tires do you reccomend for a daily commuter LC 4s with standard size rims ?

My bike came with s123 when i bought it, didn't know they were that great. The only reason why i changed it was because i didn't know much about the corsa branding. Didn't k now it was so highly praised in the local market

Alright, thank you for the suggestions




That said, i always thought Michilin would be a reliable tire choice since i had good experience with them on my cars. Guess not
