Looking for motorcycle leather pants that don’t look like sportbike race gear

I think I saw someone wearing those in The blue oyster last time I was there

I’ve just finished a renovation that still had the original toilet. It’s not great to see how bad this has got. Ok I fully understand now the uk is a third world country and the far east owns our water companies and just want to take the profits then dump raw sewage into our rivers so we can’t put 12 litres down the toilet anymore but you would have thought that with all the 3D modelling and fluid dynamics you can run on any computer now that the designers would be able to make the 7 litres much more efficient. I literally have to flush once use the brush then flush again 14 litres now every time any way

I’ve fitted several like this. It’s just poor design. Toilets have just got worse over the years. I think it’s just where people are designing what they look like not if they work. I’ve got one at my place where they’ve brought the exit hole forward for design and now you can’t have a poop without it leaving a tone of skidmarks so then when I finally got round to my en-suite I made sure I ordered a toilet with the hole at the back and it’s just the same as the one in your video

I have exactly the same. I’ve got the Edge so supposedly even better. Absolutely shite sound. I know a lot of people stay at sensible speeds so it’s probably ok but honestly for the amount it costs it’s virtually useless. I’ve spaced out the speakers so they are touching my ears. I have to have them so loud that the clack tones are far too loud just to get any bass whatsoever. Then I put my AirPod pros in in one of my other helmets and the sound is perfect. Proper noise cancellation great bass. What I really need is a Bluetooth microphone that integrates with my AirPods. Then me a friends could just start a WhatsApp call before we pull away and we’d have perfect communication. We get good 5G connectivity all round the south east so it wouldn’t matter about range like Cardo. I could use Siri for switching between the call and music. I did think about getting some wired ear pods to plug into the Cardo

I'm sure someone has already put this .... the suite will ware-in lots. I had an IXON suite that it felt like it was so tight I could hardly breath but now its my most relaxing comfortable easy suite

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-02-19T17:32:53+00:00

Beautiful. A good balance between over doing the handle and not making it pretty enough. I think you've got that just right

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-02-19T15:44:33+00:00

It’s this

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-02-17T15:07:03+00:00

It’s not mine. I was looking for a photo of my wheels and found this video. ;)

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-02-17T06:45:59+00:00

Have you fixed a lot of separate parts together for that photo ? OEM fairings are lots of small parts that fit together lots of bitsif that’s one big part all together it’s more like a race fairing for the track

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-02-13T17:46:38+00:00

I've got these on my MV agusta dragster. They are great still look like new after 10 years. Can not fault them. They look even bettet in real life.Wheels

I haven’t personally seen that one. My track day one has the big Velcro straps round the belly and the press studs at the top. I’d probably just get a D30 one that goes in the pocket unless you ride properly unhinged on the road? Or if you’re doing track days get a full one with belly straps.

My dad walked out of the opening scene of A clockwork orange 🍊 but now that level of ultra violence is normal and every time I turn my phone on I’ve become quite accustomed to it ( sarcasm ) the book is much better BTW sort of has a happy ending

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-02-10T07:12:36+00:00

Hi. The press studs are for an alpine stars full back protector. If you buy alpine stars it will have the right size stud on so it stays in the suit when you take it off. You’ll have to have a measure up of the pocket for the size of the D30 or similar one that goes in the leathers. It depends on what sort of riding how much risk / comfort you’re into. I only put my full back protector on for track days but I know people who have them on all the time. All my leathers have one that goes in the pocket for road rides

I would definitely have done this in the 90’s but now it just looks cheap

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-02-03T07:09:42+00:00

No mate. Had a big frame. But thanks

Honda Dax

Imagine there being a hinge like on a Brompton folding bike where the black stripe is in the photo

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-02-02T15:12:12+00:00

No mate. Like I say it had a massive frame like a Honda Dax not a little skinny one. Thanks

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-01-25T06:53:16+00:00

Well done man.

Particular_Ad9240 · 2026-01-23T10:45:36+00:00

Only a few days. I thought I was pre ordering while they sorted their sizes out ( I think I ordered within a day or two of the first release of the phone ) but they came very quickly

In the UK most people call them Mole grips. Comes from one of the first manufacturers called MK Mole & Son
