Anyway I still saving up for the helmet and jacket. Will carry on checking out the model and prices for different various brands.

Hi Nickyeow,

It is best to do your homework and recce around where you can get a better deal. Never rush into buying things unless it is strongly recommended by our buggers...who themselves have been using it for sometimes...Invest in good quality gears...

 

Remember-Bike got spare parts~ we do not have....

 

Atleast(minimum) you'll spent about 1k on attires-helmet, jacket pants and boots...It is better to be safe then sorry...

We diversion groups do quite a regular touring it is that not all buggers have the time for it, as their leaves and other matters...need to be solve/sorted, but they will try to make the next one...if they missed the first trip.

How I know that you bought the bike from Southern, we have source lurking around looking for diversion bikes.he,he,hee!

 

You should do some touring with us -go for a short trip as custom says...

 

I owned 2 riding jackets the cheaper version GPR $130+ for local rides the better quality($350+) for tourings...you can get some ideas from us ...gloves invest in a good one...they can last atleast 2yrs, I've few helmets FullFace for touring OpenFace for local rides. riding pants for touring only...get a good quality riding boots(I'm using the oxtar infinity $350 same as TP) very comfortable and 100% waterproof...

 

Take your time and buy -give priority which to buy first...

hi mctan n nick....

something that you can start up w.

from a start, get ur riding gears like below:

1. FF/flipup FF helmet

a muz w investment around $200+ will do.

2. riding jacket

a muz have but start w around$200 will do. Muz come w pad to protect ur body. When ur experiance pick up n start to know wat u want, then go for it. Else u will be waste money and "LUN n LUN".

3. pants...

use thick jean 1st. cheaper and most of us have a few at home.

4. Boots

our SAF give us very good boots. They are as good if not better that any normal riding boots in the market. Ur wife may use track shoe.

5. Golves.

start off w $50-100 will do. more $$ one u may not fully utilized them.

The above act as start up for normal relax touring trip. For ppl like our divvy "speed demon" they will need more protection hence more $$ riding gear to cover them

One good example is our lady killer who have travel around Malaysia as well as some part of Thai w her Simple down to earth riding gear.

Start out simple and go for more complex one when experiance comes in.

Juz my 2 cents of thinking...

talk abt tour....

when will be our next one?

[BackOFF]

Mctan & nickyeow,

Getting a good helmet will make your journey more comfortable. Those flip up helmets are good choices,

 

Reasons,

For me i drink/eat as i ride, taking photographs with my SLR camera, asking for directions from locals and lots more, I don't need to remove my helmet at all. CONVENIENT

 

And afraid of breaking, don't think so with the good brands.

 

When getting a flip up helmet, try each helmet individually.

Some of us having a longer face, so when the helmet is "closed", there's little room between the helmet and your chin, will be very uncomfortable.

 

2nd, some brands required to use 2 hands to open the flip up. Other things to look out, weight, air vent, removeable inner cushions.

 

Try not to rush to get everything, sad to say that I knew alot of riders who gave up riding after getting their full gears. Sigh.... Lost of interest, gf/ wife/ mother objection, no leave, studies blar blar blar...

 

Most important must have the right frame of mind when riding, different culture, different road condition.... Welcome to the world of riding... SAFE RIDING!!

HI bro yappiez,

I went to bikelab this morning, they don't carry the rubber thing anymore.

I went to HL and they told me that rubber holder for diversion and tdm is different. The rubber thing is $3 each.

No probs mate. My bike is at HL now.. mechanic will try to find the rubber nut thing for me if there is... bike is sick...

 

Gotten worst over the last 2 days. I can heard loud metal clanking sound coming from the right side when the bike is cool and I rev. a little... but When engine is hot the sound also disappear...

 

Is it a tensioner problem? Do I change it totally or it can be tighten or something? Anyone has similar experiences?

 

Sorry for asking here but none of the tdm ppl has kanna this before..... damn......

eat drink and talk cook?

got watch TV for local news or not ...

 

Anyway all flip up will break after impart. Good n bad...

Gd where it is easy to remove it from ur head, bad it doesn't give u e protection of fullface. It is somewhere in between Open and FF.

 

Juz brought a MHR filp up from Chip Lee. $150.

for ur consideration...

Good modular helmets are almost between full face and open face helmet.

example, Shoei syncrotec..

Other than makan, smoking also can...

the flip can help to shelter, when you smoke in the rain..

 

Thats why bikesmut also has one...

I am not a smoker, but I was wondering smoke while ride. Will the cigar burn faster than normal? Cos wind blow, double the burning rate.

Instead of 1 stick can last 10 mouths, it last 5 mouths while riding.

Last but not least this is my 200 posts and diversion number 4000 post. :cheer: :cheer:
