[Discussion] Full face helmet on phantom?

[ckoonyin]

things change, tts y frm only class 2 become 2b 2a and 2... coz some ppl cant control big bikes den too much accident, causing the law to divide the cc into different classes... yea, its fun not to hav helmet or use small helmet, until u c a broken head with brain coming out, busted open jaw, tts wen u will tink differently.. anyway even thou i had, still using half face helmet coz ff really too ma fun for me, but i do wish to haf a ff thou

u can still get the HJC promo.

When riding on any motorbike, without fail, I put on,
1. My fav helmet : RamIII
2. Riding padded jacket
3. Leather gloves
4. Army boots . . .lol

some of my friends thinks im crazy.. putting on so much gear. until one of them got into a bike accident...

Nah not crazy, it is called prepared.

I got also my fair share of sniggers but i would proudly say i am kiasee la.

I value my skin and body more la.

[jtzx]

i felt that wearing leather jacket , boots and FF helmet very cool and style.... The moment i met up with people. they know i'm a biker already..

dress like one too ;D

[ckoonyin]

when pple see me wearing my yellow jacket, they would think Power Ranger lai liao! haha!!

[kmjoe]

how much u got ur armored rain jacket arh?

[ckoonyin]

how much u got ur armored rain jacket arh?

cannot really remember liao leh.....less than $100 if i remember correctly when it was on promo.

But confirm warmer den the mesh jacket that i am wearing now.

[kmjoe]

oh, looking for water proof armor jacket leh, any place cheap to recommended? online got some cheap n gd one but if ship here all the cost not worth it liao...

[rylche]

Got to say that FF does have its uses! Had a skid yesterday and my chin area did slam onto the ground. The FF helmet (along with my armoured jacket and gloves) prevented a trip to the hospital as I managed to stand up with no injuries at all.

Armour might not save your life in a high-speed head-on collision but I believe it can make a difference whether you have a fatal accident or a mildly serious one. Also, it prevents injuries that are completely unnecessary such as road rash. Ride safe guys!

[kmjoe]

wow... another lucky one...

The one i used to wear, the yellow one, is a water proof armor jacket. It has it's Pros and Cons but i would say it is affordable and does protect u.

Next time when we meet i can tell u all about it.

[Pandora's Kitten :3]

Interesting design, very Star Wars.

Does Motoworld have it?

[J_boy]

Haha I wear a sintatic leather jacket with full face matt black ****. =)

dont be shy dude!

[MaryMary]

sure good to have protection when riding... in cold countries i think any riders would not hesitate to wear jackets and stuff coz it can protect you and also keep you warm.

but here in singapore... the weather makes people wear shorts and slippers..

[naim]

jux got a HJC FF... i feel more like a racer already!! hahaha! my frens all laugh at me.. but who cares? why my frens spend so much on their spark or kr pipe la make loud all that no use lor.. when i can jux spend a mere $100 for safety instead.. feel so much safer.. although hot, but still manageable.. when hot, jux lift the visor a little to let sum breeze come in mah...

next on my list, a nice riding jacket.. any recommendation guys? i dun hv a huge budget, maybe about $100? which brands good? cux intending to try tour in m'sia soon.. wanna have a full kit then i go la..

[MeVaN]

hi pepole

i just buy phantom yesterday $800.. (using This Site) any recommendation about Helmet, jacket, and gloves? and prices. i'm foreigner so i m not familiar with Singapore bike shops

thanks

[Pandora's Kitten :3]

Jacket - you could spend a zillion dollars on that stuff or if you've learned some shopping skills from the girls... get some decent stuff at $40-80 bucks at Mustafa centre. Last I checked they even had special armoured jackets for bikers at around 70-80 bucks.

As for gloves I don't like the fact that I can't get proper waterproof gloves unless I spend capital equivalent to a hundred plates of chicken rice so.... I like those black rubber industrial long gloves you can get for $2

I don't intend to ride at 150kph and crash into cars and stuff, so I skip those armoured stuff - considering Singapore weather I want my stuff disposable and replaceable in the blink of an eye.

Helmet - Motoworld is a great shop for trade ins. Get a cheap, even discarded helmet to trade in for a $100 fullface

we all have our reasons with our choice of wear when riding...

just wanna paint a scenario, even a cyclist cycling at a speed of 30km/h, in an event of an accident, whether caused by self or others, he/she is still very much vulnerable in suffering horrible and painful injuries.

translate that scenario to a motorcyclist riding at speeds above 50km/h, the contrasting different traffic situation a cyclist and a motorcyclist faces.

you get my point.

[MeVaN]

thanks people.... sure i will go see mustafa...

i've been wearing non psb approved full face helmets for as long i can remember but didnt get caught or penalised, even with tp just beside or behind me... no problem as long your visor is not tinted/smoked...

You are wearing ARAI with no sticker?
Coz I remember when I learning my bike lesson they actually allow ARAI with no sticker...

HJC FG-15 and R-PHA 10. tp bike beside or behind me at traffic light, np. i used my R-PHA 10 for my 2A practs and tp test. no problems either

Let me add to that. I wore my R-PHA10 wif tinted visor and one TP just passed me n one i turned at a junction opposite him. no issue. Probably give me face cux it was super hot + i had all my safety gears on. I feel that ur attire reflects the kind of rider u are. Jux saying. no offence.

Btw i use tinted only because i wear specs n i dont have a way to put on shades. That will be my argument, though nt yet tested. Hehe.

from what i know from my riding friends, i have friends who got fined cos of tinted visor, even light smoke cannot, like the smoked visor that come tgt with R-PHA 10, mine still new in packaging never used... no point cos i don wanna be i think $70 poorer just cos of the visor...

[justinLQY]

i think LTA should put the rules and and regulations clearly on their website lor.. there are so many rumors around.. i only heard about the tinted visor will kena catch but i don't see any rule states that it cannot be done on their website leh..

http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb...r-vehicle.html

is there any other website to check? scali all tio book for nth ah. rather know the rules than testing luck with the law. wallet pain sia

guess im just lucky. but like i said. i only use becux i wear specs. even when i use my nolan flip-up w/ internal sun-shade, i hate how the sun burns the bottom part of my face that is not covered by the sun-shade. but force myself to wear it more often than the r-pha though to avoid any problems wif TP. now the FF mainly used for nite rides or in case i take trip up north. love its lightness so much i retracted my sale.

i wear spects too. i have no problems with my clear visor, since smoked and clear is actually a same visor, only one is clear the other smoked, i don see the difference.

I meant that wif specs, there is no way to wear sunglasses mah. Then isn't it irritating to ride in the hot sun wif just the clear visor?

ic, i get what u mean. riding in the sun is okay with me, its not like the sun is shining directly onto my face. i rode to desaru before with the r-pha, no issues. with my fg-15 being more than 3 years old im shopping for a new helmet, getting either the r-pha max or the shoei neotec.

I commute from west to east in d morning, and back d opposite way. So yah. It is directly in my face. Haha. R-pha max looks good! Neotec i dun rly like cux no internal sunshade. And its also a pretty old model alr.

it's a Shoei afterall, great reviews about it so far. it's the successor to the popular Multitec.

LTA has no rules about the psb stickers. The problem is with the insurance company.
If you get into an accident and suffer head injuries with a helmet with a non psb sticker helmet. You will not be covered. That's it. TP may catch... But most doesn't care either... Cause it's ur head and ur own money for medical fees... Cannot find the laws against it. There is a law against vendors selling it though...
Why local shops don't do psb for all? Well simply because to get psb stickers, they have to send between 10-20 helmets for testing... It's a crush test for various sides and all... Can google and read it up if you are interested... That is the main reason why riding school wants u to have psb stickers ones...

fullface helmet just doesnt go well with a phantom. It's too hot to wear a fullface helment in singapore i feel.

this has been discussed too many times to have another debate.
it's ultimately your personal choice and what your risk tolerance is
but always remember whatever happens to you, will affect the people around you - family, friends, etc...
