    how is shooting an Olympic sport?

    As to the comment about archery... I shoot a bow. pulling back an 80lb tension is exactly like lifting 80lbs. If you don't think you don't feel that after a few shots I suggest you try the sport and report back. As for guns.. Skill sure. Athletic? No. but saying the.gun.does all the work is...

    Helmet with the most ventilation?

    Bell star. Read reviews. At 50kmh it's like a giant fan on your head. I had a vortex before that and the rf1000 and the difference absolutely floored me. But be prepared the tradeoff is a lot of noise. A lot. Sent from my commodore 64 via tapatalk

It's a RED. everyone is full stop. Asian guy 10 cars back decides he's tired of waiting. Lane splits his...

    Reducing helmet noise...

    well you're free to disagree on whether they worked for you, but you're wrong about the mix. I know a thing or 2 about rubber as I do quite a bit of work with silicon for special effects and product design. I have some smooth on product right here that I could infact mold onto your face, and you...

    Reducing helmet noise...

    For anyone considering custom molded earplugs please don't get ripped off. $50 or $100 is insane. you can buy a set of radions on ebay for $8-15. it's a silicon that you mix up. feels like play doh, very easy to use. most of those custom earplug places probably just use it. it's not rocket...

    Too Hot For Motorcycles?

    ya but I heard if you get water on your bike it'll rust so I'd advise against that.

    GoPro HD Hero 2 - $219

    engadget just did a review of the Muvi HD NPNG. comes with a waterproof case and is $230~? has a remote and LCD like the drift, but looks smaller than drift. no wifi. also tempting.

    Justifying motorcycling

    OP bikes don't ahve to be expensive, they just become that way if you like it and have the disposable income. bike: there are tons of bikes you can find in the $500-1000 range that are fine. I rode a ninja 500 2001 for 2.5 years. it cost me $1000. plastic was shattered and the seller didn't...

    Why Android is better than iPhone.

    You just use the right tool for the right job. I get paid to do 'nerd stuff'. I have a mbp for programming and a speced out pc for 3d rendering, modelling, 3d scanning. A netbook for each 3d printer. each serves a task. Pound for pound dollar for dollar the pc is faster and more stable, but...

    First run-in with a no-look lane changer

    RedRock you sound both experienced and level headed. I hope the douchetrolls don't drive you out, there should be more of that.

    Middle weight upgrade, best value and performance...

    welcome! I got it on ebay so I don't have the link anymore. I doubt the alpinestars was the best but I just wasn't willing to spend more than that. they get mixed reviews. all depends on how you're going to use it. for shorter runs in the hour range I think they're ok. or if you're able to...

    Middle weight upgrade, best value and performance...

    Rogo if you want to stay cool and still wear gear I suggest looking into one of those evaporative cooling vests. I got an alpinestars one for $ 35 and it's not perfect but works for about an hour. I used it for a day I had to sit in stop and go highway when it was 37 degrees a week or so ago...

    from pain to 1100km?! nice. if the beads don't do the trick I'll get the sheepskin. THAT's the sort of riding I want to be doing. I didn't get this bike for 15min commutes to work.

    GoPro HD Hero 2 - $219

    lol. well that's that then. drift HD 720 it is then I think. has remote + lcd, just lacks wifi which would be nice for aligning shots or using it on a radio controlled quad copter for aerial shots. LCD is ok if it's in view, but LCD is no good for helmet aligning, unless you use the mirror and...

    Anybody with a Sport-Touring Motorcycle that Tours?

    do you mean the silicon seat that goes on sale for 9.99? I grabbed 2 of them, need to cut them down. it's not gel though. also got a grey memory foam one for 14.99 but it doesn't look easy to cut down as it has the silicon grid inserts spaced oddly. I just ordered a 12x12" bead set. I expect my...
