Re: Cycle whore thread
I put over 10k miles on my bike last year alone and I usually only rode on the weekends.
And 3 sets of tires.
So your mentality must be to try and justify why you only use cheap helmets, I get it.
It's one thing to just brag about something that may not be particularly better but in the sense of the helmets we are talking about there is in fact a distinguishable difference.
HJC helmets ain't cheap son, they are moderately priced. Bell is cheap.
BTW I LOVE DRIVING MY PRIZM

Oh, and when I say 3 solid seasons out of my suomy, its not done after than, generally I just get fresh cheekpads, $45 and I'm set. That's what I did with my suomy dragon. But generally after 3 years on street I retire them for a newer one and sell em. After 5 years I'm done wearing it on the bike regardless of quality. Unless its brand new then I might rock it on the streets, can't track it after 5 yrs.
Nick, my money was slow playboy, and I just picked up a set of bbs rims, so I'm broke again. No tire ordered my man. Sorry.
I figure you're not riding anyway in this weather, and we aint changing it in this weather/cold so it doesn't matter.
I'm gonna get some once I get my tax return. So just holla, if you change your mind, no worries.
This month I'm gonna be busy sorting out shit on my bike.
Also, if anyone has a 04-07 1000rr and is interested in suspension, ohlins, penske, galfer rotors, AP racing rotors, stm slipper clutch, brembo master cylinders, you name it. I can hook up some gently used parts. I've got too many boys wanting to sell and not enough money to buy it all.
Just holla, I know people.

never. Oh, did I mention I had to dodge a hjc visor on the hwy when my boy looked back and it went zoom? Yeah.
Kbc, visor issues, says a lot to me about their quality, not attractive, and generally cheap feeling.

Washing, my suomys have fullly removable cheek pads, and liners so I can take all that out and wash it and be zesty clean again. Plus I can buy any part for it, plus sick looks. People constantly ask if they're custom painted. Try that with a hjc, or icon. Lol.
