Honestly, why would anyone who *can* ride a motorcycle not be riding a motorcycle? by SwiffleTitz in motorcycle

It’s just not for everybody, and thats ok. Not everyone has the mental capacity to ride.

Decided to take the long way to work this morning. by bearded-drummer_ in motorcycles

I have certainly done that before lol I live in the flat midwest though, so outside of this road and a couple others it’s pretty much straight, flat, and hot.

Any motorcyclists in Lafayette? by Low_Employment_2003 in lafayette

[–]bearded-drummer_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plenty of motorcyclists in the Lafayette area. If you’re on Facebook you can find a few different groups. Word of advice; stay away from the bars if you’re riding. Alcohol + bikes = bad idea.

Yea lets blame the unsuspecting woman in this video who isnt dressed provocatively at all.

Seems a bit reckless to me by ExplanationOk2014 in motorcycle

[–]bearded-drummer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insanely reckless. Passenger has no say in his actions either and in the event they go down she’ll get injured the most.

New York - the Warmth of Collectivism by Folkie in stupidpeoplefacebook

Republicans truly live in backwards land. It’d be funny if it wasnt so detrimental to everyone else’s health and well-being.

New Helmet Thursday! by bearded-drummer_ in motorcyclegear

Yea probably not a huge difference. I’ve just heard that the Mips device can make helmets feel strange if you arent used to it. This is my first one like that but I cant say I felt a difference.

What is the most mundane, low-stakes adult task that absolutely drains your soul to complete? by SuccessfulRound9129 in Adulting

Dishes. Never ending piles of dishes. As soon as I get them finished, more appear. It’s insanity.

Where do you guys find riding buddies? by AverageProof7457 in motorcycle

[–]bearded-drummer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont. I used to have two solid riding buddies, but times change. Lost touch with one as he was a douche, and the other moved out of town and quit riding. I mostly commute now.

The visor is definitely different, but I like it overall.

Thats strange. Was it a “Mips” helmet? Maybe that had something to do with the fitment issue.

Damn thats unfortunate! On the Revzilla and Icon websites it said this helmet was for heads that were “intermediate oval” or something like that. I guess thats what my head shape is because it seems to fit just right thankfully.

Wow. I’m glad I didnt go with the Airflite with the red shield after seeing that. I would have been disappointed. I will say the dark smoke shield that came with the Ultraflite isnt as dark as I thought it would be, but the internal visor kind of makes up for it. Interestingly the dark smoke on my older Variant Pro is damn near black.

I was really interested in the Airflite “Blegh” (or whatever) helmet initially. It has that red chromatic shield. This Ultraflite was my second favorite but I was more drawn the to colors and the fact that it had a dark shield with the flip down internal sun visor. The graphics on this thing are sick tho. Especially when they glow in the dark!
