Hi people,

 

just in case people have not already read, come over to the ARC and read these articles on riding skills.

 

No offence intended to Dannis and others who have met up with accidents, just that these skills are useful to anybody at any time.

 

Of course, reading is one thing, and riding is another, but there are some things which are better done when one has the theoretical background.

 

So, ride safe!

The rider? Seriously though, I'd say the brake pads ($10-$35 for organic pads) followed by the tyres (about $200 from Ah Boy).

i shld haf gotten riding boots.. i scratch my toes also.. altogether 3 right toes, right knee, right elbow.. if u tink abt it.. like i corner damn fierce huh.. haha!

Riding boots n riding Jacket is a necessity when u ride. Just need the one time n u will feel that it is worth the investment. Riding Jeans/pants is harder to get but if u are able to get one, the price might not be economic. So at least try to wear a pair of good quality jeans.

It is ok Mike, I see ur good intension. Nobody like to have an accident n mine seems to be all the stupid ones. Just keep a look-out for cats or dogs that might dash across the road n cause accidents. If u bang a cow then God Bless u......lol.....

I was advised to stitch up my wounds for about 5 stitches but I declined.... too painful... and further more mine is at the knees n I dont want to be unable to bend properly after the wound heals.

 

Hope all of us get well soon. Maybe we organise a anti-curse outings to wash away all the bad luck on our bikes after i get well.....lol... use "Xia Liu"(hokkien) leaves to wash away all the bad luck...... hahaha...

For example, Alan's GPR riding jacket didn't cost much but it saved him from injuries before. As for riding jeans/pants - we've been discussing this for quite a while, and have been looking at kevlar Draggin Jeans, from Australia. Maybe you'd be interested too?   Originally posted by dannis@ Nobody like to have an accident n mine seems to be all the stupid ones.

I guess we just have to be well prepared, and stay alert. Bang cow ah... I think if I bang a cow my head will end up jammed up its backside or something, heh. Or lagi worse my head jammed into my instrument display

[dannis]

Dragon Jeans Lawerence did talk to me about it.... but quite ex leh.... nearly 300 each.... wow....

 

I took over the riding jacket alan used to have. Now I m the owner but I didnt wear it that day..... thats why my elbows got scratched.

 

If anyone bang into a cow like a friend of mine did on his R1 on last thursday at Rompin.... haha.... u will sure fly very far..... he ended up on a soft patch of earth but..... very smelly patch that is....hehe... he is ok n lucky he has 1st party insurrance. The villagers are more concerned whether he is alive or not than the cow......

[eyz]

in my opinion, now is a good time to import the jeans.. our currency is now strong against the OZ n US..

 

anyway, here's the link..

Draggin' Jeans

Yah, the Draggin Jeans not cheap at all, otherwise no need to consider for so long. The tests they did of dragging people on the road without injury are quite impressive though.

 

I'm too fat to fit into RS-Taichi armoured mesh riding pants otherwise I'd have bought, although also not cheap at $200+. I'm interested in trying a* armoured mesh riding pants next. Dunno if Regina got stock/size though. Mike and Roadster both have Dainese armoured touring pants, but not vented so very hot unless you're touring. Plus, Dainese is quite ex, heheh.

 

Your GPR jacket's protection is not bad for the price, plus the design is quite nice. I think I'll be seeing you wearing it the next time we meet up

 

Eh, I'm glad your R1 friend was ok! Bang cow, wah lao, poor guy.

[Sub Zero]

Chris,

 

Does A* have a simple black riding jacket like how Isa wore that day to our meetup? I like the feel of it.. coz my shift jacket armour is CE armour.. but it's abit too restrictive for normal riding IMO.. thinking of a A* for daily use.. Any idea of the price?

Yup, they have a simpler (and slightly cheaper) armoured mesh riding jacket, much less bright than mine, hurhur. Marcus (fspider) has it, actually. Very, very nice. Same protection as my a* Venom jacket. Black a bit invisible at night though.

How much is it Chris?? A rough figure.. And with your special discount also!

[dannis]

My riding boots have a defence +50, confidence +20, agility -2, hehehehhe....... Padded riding Jacket defence +50, confidence +30, agility -2 .......... lol..... also "racing socks" ....... lollllllllll

[khehBRYAN]

Guys, i'm a new player in bikes and i need some recommendations and tips can??

 

I'm currently very in love with the RS125 2006 model but i've yet to find out when it'll be released in Singapore. And also i can't make up my mind on whether to get a SP first then change to RS125 '06 model or get RS125 old model then change to the new one.

 

I really need some tips and hints so i hope you guys can give me some feedback?? Sorry to trouble.
