so i recently replaced my aging HJC with a shoei xr1000. i'd always planned to put a pinlock in this helmet, which is an even stronger conviction since i discovered it fogs like a bastard if i should even think about closing the visor fully. so i toddled down to the local parts store, to be told...

My gloves smell :( I think I'm doing something wrong with regards to looking after them. My hands tend to get quite sweaty when riding. What's the best way to wash/clean them? And how can I prevent them from making a stink?
Hi all :) I have had a pair of Forma GT2 boots for 20 months. Recently the left boot started leaking like a sieve and on closer inspection both sole were coming away. I took them back to Colemans who sent them back to forbes and davies who had them repaired. Two days later on the way home...

The rumour mill is rife out there folks. I stand by 1 tonne leathers due to our buisness relationship, and I also Like Nathan and his product. It is a fact that 1 tonne gear is made/stiched/designed ( ie, Image) with input from Nathan and or his customer, in Pakistan. it is a fact that a USA...

I have two visors for the helmet (Arai Chaser). I swap between clear and tinted depending on conditions, day/night riding etc. I usually swap the pinlock with the visor. Recently the pinlock shows signs of having a gap between it and the visor when fitted to the clear visor - the soft bead...
Just bought a Quasimoto street leather jacket and had a thoroughly good experience. Bret was fantastic to deal with and his wife Paula was an absolute star. The Jacket arrived promptly and I was very impressed by the quality for the price I paid, it felt like I should have paid another couple of...

I was just perusing trademe and I noticed some rather cheap leathers from a brand called Mohsin. before I jumped in I wondered if anyone here had tried them? Cheers!
I've seen a couple of people on these forums mention this "Aerostitch Roadcrafter", and I looked at the link and thought it looked pretty useful! Has anyone got any experience with these? Specifically are they as good as they look? Can you buy them here in NZ? or is it only available online?

Just wondering how many people have one of these fitted to their helmets? If you dont, you dont know what your missing! They are fantastic in the cold winter mornings and nights. For the sake of a bit of cash, its worth it as they simply DO NOT FOG. I am offering a deal at Motomart....

AVG Stealth how good is the anti fog visor? Guys just got a AVG stealth helmet and some fog city fog shields. The visor appears to be treated with some kind on anti fog chemical. Is this anti fog good or should I still put on the fog city shield? Thanks for your input (why find out that its not...
Ok... so the options are starting to do my head in a bit... so surely someone here has gone through the same thing of looking for the best performing gear for long distance/endurance riding. We're talking gear withstanding 20+ hours of continuous rain, while not being so ridiculous to use, it...
