I just ordered these from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/KKmoon-Motorcycle-Pressure-Monitor-Andriod/dp/B07DPL1Q88/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=motorcycle+tpms&qid=1621165832&sr=8-10 They had several models that include a handlebar mounted display, but I really didn't want to clutter up with...

Ok that looks pretty interesting too. Shark also makes an Evoline series of helmets that look a LOT like the LS2 design, but with some subtle difference that (IMO) makes it a bit less appealing

I'm crazy about my current LS2 FF393 modular helmet it works sooooo awesome, and I'm really surprised there aren't more of this type of helmet available. It's a modular helmet design, that allows the chin bar to flip all the way over the top and rest at the back of the helmet. With most other...

Wow am surprised to see this thing as 'news'. I bought one of those years ago & it worked out pretty good. Personally I hate the double D's that can't be worked without removing the gloves :( That kit is pretty sturdy & no adjustment or cutting of the existing strap needed. If you ever fall out...

Add my name to the list of {now former} TD motorcycle customers whom just got a renewal go over 35% rate hike for NO reason! No recent tickets or claims.. same bike,, same household.. same everything. I called to complain & all they could say is they're going through a "restructuring" which is...

I'm glad you're having better luck with yours. I bought the Big Red lift from Tractor Supply on sale last year, about $99. Despite being new, the frame was so twisted that it wouldn't even lower all the way down without 'nudging' it with a crowbar :sad: I took it back & grabbed the similar...

It's funny you mention that, because it was probably in the late 90's that I bought the detector :D and at that time the "anti-VG2" was quite reliable at hiding the detector from the cops. About the only way the cops could tell I had a detector was if they could see me jamming on the brakes...

Years ago I bought a Whistler brand radar detector while driving through Calgary Alberta. The guy made certain the model I bought had "anti VG2" detection, which is what the popo "radar detector detector" technology is called. Sure enough it works! :D When I said to the salesman I was worried...

There's gonna be a whole new breed of stealth hooligans :(, you'll see

I got a really bad feeling, that hooligans are gonna LOVE the new flock of high torque electric bikes for that exact reason :sad:

Wow that's a really interesting documentary, thanks for mentioning it! We watched it last night. I can easily see how each successive year from now on the electrics are going to get better & better. And yes they will surpass the gas bikes someday I am sure

We use Uclear HBC200 & are pretty impressed by them. Especially awesome how they work without a boom microphone stuck in front of your head, which is nice because we use modular helmets

Apparently the Harley LiveWire concept electric bike is "louder" than any other e-bike so far.. but according to them there is no extra "noise making" technology added in, they just used gears & devices that produce more noise :rolleyes:

Yeah I see electric bikes grabbing a growing % of the motorcycling market over the years. I wonder who wants to predict/guess when electric new bike sales will approach 50% of total sales? Regarding "slow refueling," I've always wondered if any sort of industry standard battery pack could ever...

Hi guys :) my current bike is a silver '09 Yamaha Raider 1900 with V&H custom pipes & FuelPak controller, forward controls. My wife now drives my previous bike a black '99 Virago 1100 that just recently passed 50K (the bike not the wife :D )
