Heh, I think the backrest looks damn bloody comfy.But abit stickout like sore thumb loi, how much it cost?

[Foodie]

Hi all,

 

Desmokat-hope u hv a speedy recovery.

 

Check out the mortad HJC helmet at motorworld. Visor and peak seems flimsy. But definitely a cheap alternative.

 

Using water bag for trips! Can give my camel bag an additional use, both for refuelling and back protector. Great idea but got to think of way to secure it. Anyone tried using thier hydration bag beofre and care to share their reviews?

 

Al-simmons, e back rest looks comfty on rides. But kills e strom look for me. Also it seems to affect the pillon sitting position.

 

Thinking of getting a riding pant, fellow strommers any recomdations? Wanted a gortex with protector, any brand and location pse?

 

May day ride, i hope to go. Can i join? Who else gg?

 

Cheers

Highly reccommend the DEUTER 30L CamelPack ($110 @ SPORTSLINK). I saw those "CAMELPACK" brand ones selling double the price for same damn thing. Also, the camelpack has a waist fastened so that it "sits" on your waist when riding like a normal pouch so it takes weight off your shoulders when riding 12 hours to Thailand. Dont have to worry bout flying parts from bag during ride, there are so many fasteners even the drinking hose can be fastened to strap so it doesnt dangle loose. An added advantage is that there is a "air-flow" design at the back part of back so that when riding at high speeds, there seems to be wind channeled through your back!! Its quite cooling to the body, STRANGE huh? Haha................. Other advantage......can put passport n money so clear customs soooooo much faster than searching full pockets. Finally........... WATERPROOF!! haha..........nuff said

bro sikonesis, Peter now riding gs1200....not sure whether he reads this forum...

Foodie >>> join us for the 1st may ride...if u joining, there will be 4-5 stroms...the more the better...don't let other bikes outnumber us...

 

Mcfizzo >>> why not u give loois a call and enquire about the K7...or call the agent...

i feel that the bike is not very popular even for those big shops that bring them in...

thanks hus.. did try looking him up there. but you need to be a member to pm, & you

need to have a strom to be a member.

 

+ i wanted to avoid creating an account just to pm him.

thanks again.

 

 

cheers~

Hi toobez, thks! U had a nice vara too. Some thai wordings below ur license plate, wat does it mean ar?

 

Al-simmons, count me in for the 1st May trip. Hee.

 

mam, 30L seems big! Do u mean 3L for e hydration bladder? What is the actual model? I will be interested.

 

Get the New Shoei Hornet DS anyone?

[luminox]

Quite keen on the Shoei Hornet, went to LAB last week and Derrick(Boy's brother) told me the new Hornet DS shipment coming in this week.

 

Anybody got reviews on it? Overseas review deem it better than Arai TX,but my head shape fits an Arai better, so it's a little dilemma for me. I do like the Hornet's design more than the TX.

 

Aiya..itchy backside la.

Woops! Thats right, its 3L. DEUTER got 3 colours black,gray n red (I think) for the CamelBag. After discount don't pay >$115.

 

About that kettenmax chain-cleaning thing, How much is it incl postage roughly?
