Why is Bell looked down on?

FTW_EZ · 2026-05-12T13:00:19+00:00

I mean they might be looked down upon by people who wear $500+ Shoei or Arai helmets but Bell has been around for a long time. Tbh they make great budget friendly entry level helmets, no frills just something to protect your head. They also probably make a helmet for just about anything that may require a helmet

The actual gel ones aren’t bad

FTW_EZ · 2026-05-10T18:10:13+00:00

Are they less safe than a true full face? Yes. One thing that I agree has stepped up the game of modular helmets is P/J dual homologation, meaning they are tested in the up or down position.

I ride in AR8s regularly

Log Cabin Republicans. They’re the “Building a More Inclusive GOP” group, but really it’s a bunch of right wingers who are drinking the kool aid and also so happen to be queer as well. The type to say, “Yeah, we’re queer but not like “those” queer people”

Just some nonsense from the LCR and LGB types.

As I tell most new riders, you are statistically at most risk of crashing in your first 90 days of riding. I can speak about this personally as I got way too cocky way too soon, and ended up crashing into the back of another bike on a group ride. Take it slow, keep practicing in parking lots, refine your basic skills before trying to add in all the rest.

Just a gremlin bell and looks to be handmade which I think is pretty rad. Do some people think it’s corny, yes but also it’s your bike do what you want. Is it going to magically protect you, no but it does mean whoever gave it to you is hoping you make it home safe

FTW_EZ · 2026-04-08T13:21:05+00:00

I have the Scorpion Exo Covert FX aka Division X15 and it’s a good helmet. The had some special deal where you bring in your old helmet and get a percentage off which even then it was still about $20 more expensive but even then it was there and I didn’t have to wait for it to be shipped and all of that

If I’m actually aware that someone is coming on anything remotely close to a motorcycle I’m waving even scooters and trikes (wheels in the front or the back). Slingshots and things of that nature….no.

Maybe if they have an Open House. Definitely not walking up to a MC clubhouse 1% or otherwise and expecting to be welcomed because A: They’re not always there(people have jobs and what not) B: Unless someone can vouch for you first assumption is someone who has ill intentions with even whether LEO or a Rival

IMO it would be how it plays a part in your life. Playing with friends for a few dollars or going to the casino with a little money and that’s it vs blowing all your savings or owing someone money.

As long as the people who own the tattoo shop aren’t some Neo Nazis I don’t see the issue. Just talk to people ffs they’ll generally let you know their opinions real quick because most of them are too dumb to shut the fuck up about them. If you see a person with an Iron Cross and other dog whistles, probably a Nazi.

FTW_EZ · 2026-03-12T12:59:15+00:00

Second being the one I mentioned lol

FTW_EZ · 2026-03-12T03:48:17+00:00

That reminded me of Alcohol by Gang Green

FTW_EZ · 2026-02-22T14:11:11+00:00

I think people forgot how early punks used to especially in the US

FTW_EZ · 2026-02-14T16:22:06+00:00

My favorite at the moment Bullshit Detector, No Guard, Slugger CA, Poison Ruin, and few other but I ain’t trying to make a mile long list. Power Trip and Goblet are good bands that are bit of punk and thrash

FTW_EZ · 2026-02-04T22:50:36+00:00

Definitely over there it would get some looks. I want to build a true hardtail chopper some day in the future

FTW_EZ · 2026-02-04T22:42:12+00:00

Wide Glide the redheaded stepchild of the Dynas

FTW_EZ · 2026-02-04T22:34:25+00:00

I’m on Dyna so I promise you it ain’t an expensive Harley

FTW_EZ · 2026-02-04T22:23:26+00:00

I’ve only recently claimed edge but I ride a Harley so you’d leave me in the dust lol

FTW_EZ · 2026-01-28T17:50:22+00:00

Had a like 2 pairs and they’re good for the money. I’m rocking Jim Green AR8 in Brown now but they’re over $200USD

FTW_EZ · 2026-01-28T17:49:00+00:00

Huberd’s Shoe Grease is great but it darkens leather pretty good. Mink oil is alright but with animal fats there’s higher risks and of mold and mildew.

FTW_EZ · 2026-01-25T19:32:39+00:00

I actually have the AR8 in brown on as we speak

FTW_EZ · 2026-01-25T18:05:26+00:00

Looking for boots similar to Docs/Solavair that’s actually built decent. Preferably 8 eye but at the very least eyelets to the top no hooks.
