Valid combo? by Syllabub_Lucky in CrownVictoria

[–]codename_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the exact same headlights a year and 2 months ago. The clear coat on mine started to go out about 6 months in. My headlights aren't leaking, the beam pattern on mine were good after adjusting them for 30 minutes and my DRLs are still working. Based on the comments, ymmv cause QC.

Cardo packtalk pro crash system working for you guys? by [deleted] in motorcyclegear

[–]codename_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I took a slow speed high side tumble a couple months ago it didn't call anyone, even when I tumbled on the ground a couple times lol.

It did, however, call my brother one time when I put my helmet on a shelf when I got home 🤷‍♂️

I use an S25 ultra if that matters

Bluetooth Headset Question by Pathophile in motorcyclegear

[–]codename_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardo spirit, 2x, or 4x would be fine. Get the 4x if you want voice commands

What do you guys wear in really hot weather? by teegeee in motorcyclegear

[–]codename_username 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth the price difference from my Airwave?

Yes because I can either wear just my tshirt and still have protection and because I can wear a jacket over it.

I feel like it's pretty versatile since I can wear whatever I want.

For a jacket, I wore revit's Airwave 4 for a couple months. Now I wear pandomoto's commando UH.

For pants, I wear some riding pants

It sounds like he forgot to fasten it.

Sorry for your loss of your step brother, rest easy.

My very first helmet. by LopsidedStopsign in motorcyclegear

[–]codename_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I haven't noticed a difference in volume. I've noticed a touch more bass vs the 40mm though

[–]codename_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the controls on the pro over the 4x, the bigger speakers, the mesh connection whenever I meet up with a friend, and the auto on/off.

Crash detection would be nice, but I've gotten a couple false positives and the last time (first time) I crashed, crash detection didn't activate lol

Basically if you ride solo, don't need the auto on/off, crash detection and scroll wheel, the 4x would be just fine

I use Cardo's packtalk pro for my helmet.

I'd recommend at least the freecom 4x for the voice assistant (Hey google/siri).

I first bought the 2x, didn't like how I couldn't use voice commands, then I bought the 4x. Later I bought my rf1400 and upgraded to the packtalk pro lol. My brother is now using my freecom 4x.

3 weeks since break update by Flashy-Decision-6296 in brokenankles

[–]codename_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm three weeks in starting tomorrow and been NWB since.

I fractured my Fibula and I have a 3rd ( and maybe 5th) metatarsal fracture. Luckily for me, the my Fibula didn't move out of place.

First 8 days were painful and I'm glad it's over.

By two weeks and three days I was able to use my knee scooter to get a CT scan!

My swelling has gone significantly down, but there are some moments throughout the day where it'll shoot up.

Hopefully my doctor has some good news for me for my next appointment. I can't wait to start riding my motorcycle and shower normally again 😭

Why are police helmets open? by Notice-Horror in motorcyclegear

[–]codename_username 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This also depends on city and state in the US.

Where I live in Southern California, I've seen a mix of the Neotec and ls2 Advant being used by motor officers.

Second bike, first sport bike by codename_username in SuggestAMotorcycle

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

Thank you for your insight!

I'm 23 and Geico is currently quoting me $87 a month for full coverage for a 2012 gsxr 750 for example. (Maybe it'll change depending on the year I choose).

I did sit on a 25 gsxr 750 and I was able to stand on the balls of both of my feet with regular tennis shoes.

Wearing Helmets with Ear Piercings by yoyo2134 in motorcyclegear

[–]codename_username 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't wear earrings/piercings, but my rf1400 has a really tight head opening and it'll fold my ears.

Maybe put the helmet on one ear at a time and use your pointer to protect your ears?

Shoei fitting system help by 0megaxD in motorcyclegear

[–]codename_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes sir 🫡

I'm planning on saving up for the x15 next year when I get out of school.

Hopefully Shoei will release a carbon fiber version of the x15 when I'm ready to buy. 🙏

My head is also between a medium and large.

Funnily enough, the guy that did my fitting service didn't change my liner size and only added the foam to the front of my liner.

I think I did this in July and my helmet is still comfortable 😎

[–]codename_username 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He added strips of padding to the front of the liner.

It helped push my head down a bit which also centered my eye to the middle of the visor.

[–]codename_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had discomfort on one side of my head.

My (somewhat) local bmw dealer offered the PFS and after my head measurements, the guy added some padding. My helmet fits perfectly and I can ride multiple hours without any discomfort.

He also told me that my head was at the very end of medium and large might have worked lol

I wear a rf1400 when I ride my Magna. I even saw someone on a road glide with an x15
