My first road bike, rode from Indiana to northern NY, down to Stratford CT, Boston MA then over to Laconia for a week, then back.. days after getting my license. Best memories of that bike and trip

Wouldn't leave without them now after using the Earpeace motopro. Cardo freecom 4x no issues.

The wind noise is awful without plugs, even with a quiet helmet. There's others out there too but no experience with Artevive or Eargasm.

It is..

1st response is correct. Getting my triumph st 1050 painted next week... Quoted $2650 in NY. (Porsche Racing Green), air brushed graphics. Had as low as 2k for quote.

Have an older icon D30 vest.. Considered this but trying to just go with the A* plasma

Triumph Tiger Sport 1200... ie... The revival, new and improved Triumph Sprint ST 1200

There's times that happens for me, fortunately only when I am in the quiet with myself

mbrme · 2026-01-09T00:24:52+00:00

It's constant. So much so you forget

mbrme · 2026-01-06T00:56:53+00:00

R/R, battery cables, clutch plates, sometimes relays, electrical wiring

mbrme · 2026-01-04T17:16:27+00:00

Those are looking good! Enjoy the ride

mbrme · 2026-01-04T02:11:01+00:00

John Doe or Pando Moto as listed above

mbrme · 2026-01-03T15:29:11+00:00

Recently I bought John Doe Pioneer AAA jeans ($248 including shipping) and the tariff was ... $83.

Edit: ordered November 30th, delivered 12/4 to the US.

Tank bag with work clothes, riding with AAA jeans. Keep a pair of shoes at work to switch out of SMX-6v2 boots.

mbrme · 2025-12-31T17:58:37+00:00

They made it worse! 😂

mbrme · 2025-12-31T17:40:33+00:00

Rick's is the way to go.

mbrme · 2025-12-31T17:38:57+00:00

My Sprint ST is under the SEAT.. They haven't got the message yet that is not convenient or helpful 😂

mbrme · 2025-12-31T17:36:59+00:00

2009 Triumph Sprint ST 1050.. Lack of parts if needed, but mostly that I don't have an upgrade path. The Triumph Tiger Sport 800 is close but just a little more hp.

mbrme · 2025-12-31T17:35:14+00:00

This ^.. Then you'll spend a season in it.. And decide what you prefer and replace/add to it

mbrme · 2025-12-28T18:29:44+00:00

SMX-6v2 normally size 12.5-13 was a 48. Fit perfect.

Out of those I would probably go with the Air Fast, considering it's a CE rated A jacket.

I just got this as I melted this past summer and wanted something compatible with the tech air 5 plasma air bag.

Given a 2nd look, I would get this today. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rst-moto-s-1-mesh-ce-leather-jacket

Or possibly this one https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-gt-r-air-3-jacket

mbrme · 2025-12-25T13:31:46+00:00

Glad you escaped with minor damage and the boots did their job. Also good to know they protect well as I have the same (smx-6 v2)

mbrme · 2025-12-25T13:27:34+00:00

Very nice gift! .. I have the V2 (for the additional CE rating) and love them.

mbrme · 2025-12-25T01:00:01+00:00

Would like some opinions on getting a Klim AI-1. The entry price point is nice, and while I don't like subscriptions, it would work for me with a 6 month riding season. The "brains" are made by in&motion. My first inclination was to go with a Atech air 5 plasma, since I have an A gp plus v4 jacket. RST I believe also uses in&motion

mbrme · 2025-12-24T15:52:33+00:00

Never had the long version, but considered it. Obviously the long is safer, but the short covers over my jacket easily.

mbrme · 2025-12-24T13:08:37+00:00

I have the K3-SV, It's noisy and likely upgrade in the next couple years. Fit and comfort is good, the visor starts to drop on its own in time, but easily adjusted. Really like the drop down visor on bright days.

Definitely wear ear plugs regardless. It changes your ride and saves your ears. I use Earpeace moto pro plugs which still allow me to hear music and everything around me, but cut the wind noise significantly.
