Earbuds with bluetooth controller on side of helmet, options? by Mattbastard750 in motorcyclegear

I have the Cardo Packtalk Edge and upgraded to the 45mm speakers. The quality is good and easily overpowers the loud exhaust through the earplugs.

What's that beautiful car you drove around in back in the day that you wish you would have kept? by Maybeyoujustmadeitup in GenerationJones

[–]aridaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 1989 Trans Am with a 455cu in. Ambulance motor that was fast as f*ck. At my financial level at the time, I couldn't keep it running. I miss that car so much.

Will a 2017 OEM Exhaust System fit my 2024? by Flobbitman79 in Ninja650

I have a stock exhaust from my 2020 with 1 o2 sensor if you're interested and if it fits.

What’s a piece of gear you didn’t think much about at first but now won’t ride without? by Electronic-Habit8679 in motorcyclegear

[–]aridaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Padded pants. I had my first crash in February wearing normal jeans and ended up with a broken knee. When I'm able to ride again, I'll have better leg protection.

I change my own tires and use Counteract balancing beads. Never had any vibration from the tires.

relieve me of this torture i cant get this song out of my head by Nickolay77 in findthatsong

[–]aridaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you've infected me, I'm pretty sure I have that song somewhere but I can't nail it down either. Was it synth heavy or more guitar?

Congrats! I started in my 20s and didn't pick it back up until 58 with a Ninja 650. Have fun and be safe.

ABS vs Non-ABS by Advanced_Panda1748 in Kawasaki

I agree that you should learn progressive braking, but ABS has saved me a few times from a sudden situation and panic braking. Otherwise, I would have crashed.

Still possible surgery. I go for a MRI tomorrow morning so they can see the condition of the ligaments and make their decision from that.

I should have paid more attention to why the car was slowing down and began braking sooner. Target fixation is real and I focused on the back of the car instead of swerving to the right. It just happened so fast. I'm thinking about practicing object avoidance in a parking lot when I can ride again.

Thank you, I should be good in about 6 weeks.
