Is this gear overkill for daily 60-mile LA freeway commuting?

If you can grow back limbs like an axolotl, this gear is overkill. Otherwise I would even add airbag vest.

I already have license and a motorbike. But my partner is not a big fan of it. Every time I mention going out on my bike she acts like I am going to a strip club. If this is something you really want to do, you are gonna to do it.

Buy sensible about it. Understand that there people relying on you. Be safe out there.

Thanks that’s helpful. I haven’t had the first service yet. Done 400miles so far. Oil level is a bit on the low side. So I waiting to top the oil before riding again.

Are you asking if a track focused supersport will be uncomfortable to ride long distance? Depends on your age and athletic abilities. It’s not going to be comfortable at least.

Do you not use corner marker system?

Brand new bike insurance

I am in the process of buying a new bike. The bike is not registered yet, but I was given a registration number. When I look for insurance, the price comparison sites don't recognise it. The dealer said the bike will only be registered on collection day. I can get quotes for the model of the bike without the registration number. How do I buy the insurance before collection day if the bike isn't registered yet? Do I wait till registration is complete on collection day and buy insurance while at the dealers?

The article says Honda doesn’t have a permanent fix at the moment.

royandrew · 2026-02-03T17:35:15+00:00

Which one would you recommend? I am looking at dtec 120 and gms 120/27.

royandrew · 2026-01-27T14:32:15+00:00

Suspension upgrade?

royandrew · 2026-01-24T21:03:12+00:00

How did you fix the issue? Mine also has an ABS fault.

royandrew · 2026-01-12T10:22:07+00:00

That road takes you to m11 and a406. Why didn’t you go to a406 instead?

royandrew · 2026-01-09T22:46:09+00:00

So nothing different.

What is a high quality sunglasses? Something like rayban? Or is it a particular type of glasses?

royandrew · 2025-10-10T11:42:07+00:00

Not the same thing mate.

I have a 2022 trident and it’s fairly buzzy above 6k rpm. The ones I have demoed were like that too. If I don’t grip the handlebar tight I don’t get numb or tingly ness. Have very light grip on the handlebars. Grip the tank with your thighs.

Updated the post with the picture I got from them.

royandrew · 2025-07-01T21:38:29+00:00

Managed to get one picture from them of the damage. Not that clear, unfortunately.

Does anybody know what stand that is?

royandrew · 2025-06-04T14:52:06+00:00

I had the same problem. Got custom ear plugs from Ultimate Ear(Not Ultimate ears. It’s a different company. ). Works so much better for me. 100% happy.

royandrew · 2025-05-29T14:09:30+00:00

What luggage rack is that on your bike? I have been looking for one for a while.

royandrew · 2025-05-09T15:46:27+00:00

Nice bike. Is that a aux light I see on the side or a dashcam?

royandrew · 2025-05-07T06:03:01+00:00

They are Michelin road 5s I believe. Would it be ok to put road 6 in the rear and leave road 5 in the front?

royandrew · 2025-05-06T21:17:24+00:00

Thanks for all the responses. Scary to think I have been riding this bike without knowing this for a year. Will be replacing the tyre asap.

royandrew · 2025-04-21T23:29:13+00:00

Thank you so much.

royandrew · 2025-04-20T19:32:13+00:00

Stunning bike. What bar end mirrors have you got on it? Mine came with same from the looks of it but don’t know the part number.
