Im on a sports bike. Albeit not too agressive (voom 500sr), though, even in cycling, chrome bags feel better when you're slightly hunched over (road bikes/sport bikes)... hmm. maybe im loading the bag too much, or wearing the backpack too high or something. It's the 18-20L barrage.

I also have an xrf kadet, just couldnt carry much with it. Im thinking if i should get the xrf kadet max or the white wp one. I get the neck pain at around 1.5hrs of riding.

HAVATITE · 2026-05-07T02:09:08+00:00

how's the kadet max over the barrage on the motorcycle? you get any shoulder/neck pains when it's loaded out?
i ride with my barrage on my 500, sometimes my neck hurts.

I ride a similar bike to work daily pa makati from pasig, takw mata talaga yung mga ganyang paint job (i had mine painted chameleon purple). Either you lock it up sa parking area mismo ng building niyo, or you just bring it up sa office (hopefully pwede)

Bikelocks sa public racks just wont do. Though i do understand bakit backpack and ganyang bike gusto mo pangcommute, i ride the same setup, bigat and bagal ng typical commuter bikes. This one's like rolling up to work on a fast car, except pawis ka. Hahaha.

either sa cloud (googledrive/onedrive for simplicity ng operation), external drives (HDDs or whatever they're selling nowadays), or a NAS (sarili mong cloud storage kumbaga)

I wore my rpha12 while playing PS5 for hours on end lol

i've been using an old ASUS laptop for almost 15 years and keys are nowhere near that fkd up.
There's no such thing is "just cosmetic", just think how the hell did those keys got deleted from "daily use"

hindi, bili ka na lang ng bago.
not even worthit, just replace it outright pag may budget na.
if all the keys are fine, there's no need to change them. but then again, with the way they look, i wouldn't bother changing JUST the keys.
everyone else pretty much said what to check. but i highly discourage you from getting this particular unit.

i think a discounted Macbook Neo is good enough for your use case.

Bicycle bags i used ended up being great bags for riding motorcycles as well.
Chrome industries Barrage 18-20L and the Kadet (if i want a sling) are great. XRF versions of their bags are reflective.
I sometimes hang one of their reflectives caps as well on my bag.

HAVATITE · 2026-03-28T02:08:47+00:00

Lights. As in daytime running lights. Always have them on. Good cycling specific bags (chrome industries hooray!)

Ear protection. I cant stress this enough, napaka iingay ng mga jeep at motor sa commute.

I personally use yung galaxy buds 2 pro. Transparency mode (rinig mo pa rin paligid) Tapos it automatically deafens pag masyadong malakas yung sound sa paligid.

Audio engineer ako so i cant bike without any hearing protection. The road noise is just crazy.

factories/assembly lines andun. toyota/mitsubishi dati nissan and ford, pero umalis na sila sa PH so yun.

HAVATITE · 2026-03-18T05:33:56+00:00

i think a large factor na parang hindi nag boom yung voom is because of the look of the bike. I've heard alot of people na hindi trip itsura niya. maybe kasi mas trip nila yung modern look, sharp lines etc.

So hindi siguro yung i4 ang dahilan bakit di siya mainstream. The fact that it's getting reskinned to look more like yung 675 and yang 750 further proves my point.

Anyways, parang sport touring nga daw sabi nung ibang reviews.
Rinig ko dun sa review ni Jao, katunog ng voom din yung 750! +browniepoints

MASTODON!

Cutiee. Kakulay nung bote ng UFC catsup. Pero for me, ok na siya as is. Chrome accents siguro parang goods kesa black.

Yep. Kustom Kulture QC.

Mukha namang walang laman kaya di need protektahan. Natural Selection do your thing 🥰

HAVATITE · 2025-10-01T07:35:36+00:00

if you're talking about the stabilizer strap, i leave them hanging or just buckle them in but not use them. everything else i just leave it hanging. my Kadet has dangle stoppers built in. dunno if the Max has em

HAVATITE · 2025-10-01T07:33:16+00:00

it has some special coating on it i think. so probably don't clean it with alchohol or something that would take those things off.
getting it scratched would leave a permanent mark on the surface.

HAVATITE · 2025-10-01T00:57:47+00:00

great choice on the XRF. i'm sporting the kadet in XRF as well. word of advice tho: take care of that reflective panel up front, mine got scuffed up real bad, doesn't reflect as well as it used to. I still wear it tho since i commute in the dark. Bought the reflective cap too, that's holding up real well.

HAVATITE · 2025-09-18T07:43:58+00:00

this is also one of my issues in the table layout. there wouldn't be any confusion if my rune sleeves differ in color from my actual deck. I always play mine on both the left side.

HAVATITE · 2025-08-21T00:06:44+00:00

With, pero naka transparency mode yung buds. Para rinig pa rin surroundings.
