[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]

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...

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.

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..

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

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.
