The shoe size thing keeps coming up so I made this: http://jwalshiv.50webs.org/Shoes/shoes.htm I hope it helps.
I'm starting to scuff up my tank on the sides- from my knees. The bike isnt a keeper but I would like to keep it in good condition if I can. So what options are there
Had the tinted visor just over a month now. In case anyone is wondering what they are like, as I was before I bought one, here is a quick opinion. I was initially worried about getting one that was too dark but I ended up getting the dark smoke version anyway (Arai helmet, BTW). I was...

Can anyone out there tell me for sure what the story is with gear damaged, made unuseable after an off and ACC,I seem to remember that if your gear was written off you can get it rpelaced by ACC as part of their rehabilitation. Cheers in advance and yes I;ll take any amount of ribbing with a grain...
Just been through purchasing Qrace jacket and pants from Qmoto. I have to say what excellent service I received. I was nervous about buying over the internet, however Qmoto just made it a breeze. They responded to every email, often within minutes. Answered my 50 questions. A full money back...
Just wondering if anyone has the cnell top box (large preferrably) and if it is adequate for a Suzuki DL1000. I could get a GIVI but for 4-5x as much $ just wondering if the cnell is adequate. Thanks.
Currently looking at new riding gear as my old Spidi gear is getting pretty tired. Have had plenty of conversations with sales guys giving the usual 100% waterproof claims but would actually like to find some gear that lives up to the claim. The more you talk to people the more you here is that...
Hey all, I just bought a bike to get into some trail riding. What sort of gear should I buy as a must have? Aside from boots and a lid that is.
I've been wearing my leathers (jacket and pants) a lot recently, and they are starting to smell a little bit. They get hung up at the end of every day. What's a safe way to clean them? I was tossing up soaking them in cold water over night with a couple of teaspoons of baking soda. That's...

We have a Navman SmartST 2009 that we would like to mount on one of our bikes. Has anyone managed to do this with this model? I've googled and haven't come up with anything so far. Definately can't use the sucker windscreen mount, it falls off the plastic screen after a minute or so. Any...
Now I know why fullface helmets are more betterer - apart from stopping wasps getting stuck up between helmet and forehead... Sunday's loop took me along Arapuni Road to Putaruru. The Kihikihi end has a couple of clicks worth of new seal on it - as usual covered in loose blue chip. So I take it...
After reading about the N102's that have generally positive reviews on this site - I started looking at Nolan flip face helmets. The upgraded model (The 103) arrives at the distributors (Eurobike Wholesale) this week and will be in shops with a RRP of $599. Looks like it addresses the...
I went to buy a tinted visor yesterday and the great sales guy up sold me to an antifog tinted visor. None in stock of the tint i wanted so i have ordered one in. Now i am wondering 1. how good it'l actually be? and 2. whether its going to be worth the extra $$ as its nearly twice the price! Does...
Hi all Heres a question: How long does cordura last? Obviously within context of bike jacket/pants The reason I ask is that I have a pair of Spidi pants that I got back about 2002/3 that I have worn commuting and for general riding and am still using.
Hi. I'm currently looking to try and fit some panniers on my bike as I will be heading up country shortly. Problem is, my cruiser (Keeway Supershadow) is very small, and many panniers look to large for it. I'm not worried about the mounting, can figure something out. But has anyone come across...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows any dealers that sell shift gear. Motomail sadly don't have the size I want. I'm after a Medium Shift Vendetta Black Etched Jacket. Thanks for the help
Been using my 1 Tonne gear for about 6 months now so it must be time for a review. Not much point in a dry weather review and since i've just come home from 2 hours riding in the rain i have a good base to review the wet weather side of it. First up is the Red Codura Touring Jacket and i love...
I find earing normal "earbud" (aka canalphone, in ear headphones, etc) under a helmet to be pretty uncomfortable, the bulk of the "driver" (speaker to we lay folk) tends to push against your ear and the helmet, and well, after about an hour, I find it unbearable. Last night I had a brainwave, I...
HI. well, as i came to a slow stop a cple of days ago, in my absent mindedness i did not see the pot hole looming towards the underside of my front wheel. and obviously as bloody luck would have it, the place i came to rest was with my front wheel stuck right in the bloody pot hole, on an off...
