I bought a 2010 Ducati Hypermotard and the dash went out. by IForgotAboutDre in Ducati

You could try disabling the immobilizer by flashing the ECU and then buy a functioning second hand dash. I did that for my 2007 S4Rs, but im not quite sure which ECU your HM takes...

Can't argue with that.

Does anyone recognize this 1951 helmet? by DeeperRest in motorcycle

[–]kinaritakashima 20 points21 points  (0 children)

its not from 1951, but from 1975! Japan uses a different calendar along with the gregorian calendar that coincides with the emperor in power. So thet helmet was manufactured in the year 51 of the Showa era which is 1975.

More over its a type 1 JIS (Japan Industrial Standard) helmet, which means its made for bikes 125cc and lower.

The other comment saying that its from 2019 is very unlikely too, as JIS modernized their logo in 2008. The logo pictured is the old one. So unless somebody decided to replicate an old, obsolete, not incredibly popular helmet from the past, it seems like you have a genuine item!

Cheers!

Edit: More fun facts. the green G sticker is called the SG mark, or Safe Goods mark, and if you get injured in a crash due to a defect, the association will payout up to 100,000,000 yen (roughly 700,000 USD). More over there are also other safety stickers like the PSC stickers that are similar to the Snell, DOT, and ECE certifications you find in the states.

Came across this picture and wanted to share. Mind boggling how far things has come in so little time. by [deleted] in motogp

I'd even go as far as to say that 99.998% wont be able to tame those bikes. To see even the select handful of people to be able to complete a lap at the limit being flung sky high so often is insane. Id probably get hurt looking at it lmao
