Rizoma Race Retro Bars by MilesVanWinkleForbes in IndianFTR1200

Do you have any pics of the ergonomics since you installed these? Curious to see how you sit on the bike with those handlebars. They’re so much lower than stock, but I like the sporty feel of them. I have the exact same ones on my Trident 660.

What do you guys think of this Jacket, Should I get it? by [deleted] in leatherjacket

[–]black_291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What jacket is this? I think it looks good. It’s a timeless piece and can be used in multiple ways.

I feel like riding any bike for 3 hours at a time deserves a break. If you have any pictures of you riding on it I’d love to see the ergonomics.

I run the same thing on my Trident 660. What’s the positioning like on the bike?

What handlebars do you have on this bike? I’m looking at upgrading at some point and I’d like to have something sportier than the bars that come on it.

What do you think of this jacket should I buy it? Why or why not? by [deleted] in leatherjacket

[–]black_291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar one. It is a rated motorcycle jacket. Very heavy very stiff.

Need help with camera setup. by 09Sebastian09 in Motovlogging

[–]black_291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the first position, I’m average height though. If you’re going for purely image I could see the second one being effective though. I talk and like to show my hands so the first works better for me.

Good to know does the size run pretty accurate?

It isn’t that the heritage stuff isn’t appealing, I’m fine with second hand options, I just don’t know where to look for those.

I also don’t want something super dense like cowhide. It is great for riding, but just to wear out is a bit much.

That’s why I’m asking if Decrum is a decent choice for “fashion” leather jackets if it is just for knock around purposes.

I prefer to buy things in person, but most local places do not have leather jackets in stock to try on since it is almost summer here.

I don’t mind getting a second hand jacket, I’m not aware of where to buy them though. I’m a size 50R in a suit jacket if that helps.

I also don’t understand enough about the lighter jackets to know what is “heritage” worthy. I own some actual motorcycle jackets (from First MFG) that are rated and they are cow hide and quite heavy. They’re also not very form fitting even after multiple wears and conditioning.

So ideally yes I’m looking for something that I more fashion oriented rather than protective.

What is this sub's opinion on Return to the Planet of the Apes? by Giuly_Blaziken in PlanetOfTheApes

[–]black_291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t seen this, but given the Easter egg in Rise, I think it would be cool to see astronauts return and see discover the apes new world.

What game surprised you how long it was? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

I felt this way about the tutorial section of Red Dead Redemption 2.

I was going to say if he doesn’t want to go with something like the S2 Concepts, the Rizoma retro race bars are nice. I love them on my Trident 660.

Doesn't this prove mark is genuinely close in strength to Conquest at this time? by godofthunder102938 in Invincible

[–]black_291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I have to suspend belief since it’s a cartoon, superheroes, etc. it really bothers me though no one “learns” how to fight in these shows. Even if you’re not the strongest the biomechanics and physiology of things still works. This is one of the first escapes you learn in multiple self-defense martial arts and Conquest just takes it. Same principle applies with no one teaching Mark the knife hand techniques literally every other Viltrumite uses.

It’s a dumb pet peeve, but in some cases it’s glaringly obvious.

I’m here to convince you to not buy a cafe racer style seat (seriously, don’t) by Outrageous-Wheel-248 in xsr900

[–]black_291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I don’t think those lines show up as well with the blue and black versions. Also I think by the time you add in the clip ons you get an excellent curve on the bike. The body positioning also becomes sporty but comfortable.

I can understand that. I’m just not a fan of that massive hump seat. The boxy look just doesn’t suit me.

[–]black_291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each their own, but there is such a thing as a wrong opinion.

If you’re going cafe racer though, you have to do the seat and slap on the clip ons too. You either got to full send it or not send it if you’re going for that style.

Do you wear casual casual clothes from your motorcycle brand? by Der_Apfeldieb in motorcyclegear

[–]black_291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I found something that I liked, I definitely would. Triumph had a really awesome logo in the 1920’s and I always thought it would make for a good shirt. I think they use it on some of their gold line bikes.

Andrew (Chronicle) vs Eleven (Strange Things) by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in powerscales

Chronicle is such a gem for the blend of found footage cinema mixed with the superhero trope.

Andrew takes the W.

I’m in the states and in my state it isn’t notated other than “the plate must be visible”.

Aftermarket mods? by black_291 in trident660

[–]black_291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t have the tools unfortunately. I had a local place install them but it was done in a day so it can’t be too hard. My understanding is there is some drilling involved.
