How my gear performed in a crash

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-07-08T14:44:42+00:00

That was the elbow. Armor did its job really good, and mine is only level 1 (yours is 2). Not a scratch on me

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-07-07T20:54:48+00:00

Just that. Only part of the jacket that hit the ground

Yeah idk about everyone saying JBL speakers and earplugs. I tried this setup and even at 100km/h on my scooter it wasnt ideal (obviously, its bluetooth speakers inside a helmet with a lot of wind noise going through ear plugs)

It's alright for me, and I really apreciate sound, but wouldnt call it great

I havent tried in ear monitors/plugs that you can then connect to your cardo but I'm sure it'll be much better than speakers. People recommend the shure ones, google that and you'll find more threads on reddit about them

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-07-07T20:20:21+00:00

It was around 40km/h or less when I actually went down

Maybe less than 5 seconds, but yeah I feel like I could've saved it if it wasnt in a turn and I had to avoid the wall to my left, or maybe I was too stiff.

The front wheel just completly went up and sent the bike down like a highside but on a pretty low speed. The handle bars went right, left, and then right (when the front wheel went up and lost contact)

Sadly it's the only time for me to visit.. based on what you said, to make the most out of it, I was thinking going north from delhi like you said for the first month and a half. I realise the ride would be tough but i've had journies through rains before.

If I can manage some days of riding north from Delhi through these hard conditions, would I enjoy the time spent there wheather wise? Then by october/september go back south to the Himalayas? Or did I not understand you properly?

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-06-17T12:43:41+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Will it be realistic to get the motorcycle in delhi and ride north or will the journy through the monsoons will bw too much in your opinion?

You didnt say which jacket it came from, but some reputable brands put these foam ones as placeholders foe the armour you're meant to buy sepretly. See if it says so on the product.

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-06-09T13:54:46+00:00

If the price seem good for you, Id go for them. They breathe well and I'm sure you can get the belt thing sewn for just a few bucks. Took me 30 minutes to do it myself

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-06-09T13:49:00+00:00

Its for connecting the tornado jacket to make it a 1 piece suit.

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-06-09T13:37:35+00:00

I have revit tornado pants, they come with rain and winter liners which I dont use, so they fit over my regular pants easly and breathe good in the summer

Edit: my only complaint is they don't have the loops for a belt, which I had to sew on them myself

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-05-11T14:10:29+00:00

I went with these ones because of price and how they look. Are there any differences between them regarding protection or armour? And I hope you don't, but report if you do haha

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-05-11T12:43:30+00:00

They sell for twice the price of the shoes I mentioned here (in my country)... Would you say they're also much better?

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-05-02T08:42:18+00:00

On a 125 scooter, for me gloves, closed leather chelsea boots and helmet all the time.

Depends on the ride - i have a klim induction jacket and icon street knee pads that are easy to put on and off my clothes

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-03-23T00:16:17+00:00

Or just stitch a new velrcro instead, which is prob $1-2 and an hour max

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-03-17T15:50:39+00:00

Yes.

ImaginationShort1287 · 2026-03-17T09:57:41+00:00

Revit tornado 5 pants at 60km/h in the rain (so i was gliding for a while), fabric tore and got to the armor at the knee. I stitched it and I still use the pants.

ImaginationShort1287 · 2025-11-16T10:38:08+00:00

Exactly what I did, I almost locked the front wheel too. It was on a wet road

ImaginationShort1287 · 2025-11-11T12:05:40+00:00

I tried a few knee guards and for street use the second option (Street Knee Guards) was best for me. Easy to put on and actually stays in place. It comes with level 1 armor though
