DodgyBastard Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I've been razzing this up and down the road all day, I forgot how much I enjoy being on two wheels!

pilninggas Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 My day-to-day textile jacket is knackered [a richa textile], so i need a new one. Had a look in J&S last week, but didnt like what they had [+spendy]. Just been up to Motorcycle Megastore in Swindon and got an Oxford Oslo for £30. Also a set of Oxford trousers for £30 and some Alpinestars SMS-X boots for £40. Free bacon butty and tea too. Happy with that.

pilninggas Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I was there too at opening time and left after 5 minutes. It was like those black Friday sales you see in America. People shouting at each other, grabbing stuff out of each others hands, barging people out the way. Some very good deals there but I think I'll just go back on another (non "deal") day and pay a little bit more...where abouts are you? Im in Caldicot, Monmouthshire.

5speedracer Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Vent broke on my lid yesterday,it's about 6 yrs old so thinking of a new one. J&S have an IXS flip front on offer, anyone got experience of their lids? Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimad5 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Not all flip front are tested / certified safe with the lid open, I did know what the symbol was for this ... but it's been years since I got my Schuberth. Never heard of IXS lids, are they good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzy Woking Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Not had any experience of IXS, but I have had (and have) a few flip fronts. Lazer- one of the first. Big as a house, noisy at over 20 mph, and poor build quality.Schuberth C2 I hated- so uncomfortable after 20 minutes (something you can't test in the shop).Schuberth C3. Nice and quiet, good flip mechanism, quality feel. Expensive. As are replacement visors. Shoei Neotech. Again, nice and quiet. Good fit (although I have an Arai shaped head) and I've ridden for 15 hours without removing it. Vents ok, flows air through in the right places. Caberg. Carbon thing, nice and light. Horrible fit and only wore it once. Gave it to my nephew, who loves it. HJC Fits like an Arai, well made but lining isn't as good as top line helmets (but can get two for the price of a Schuberth. MDS 200(I think). An AGV in essence, and my favourite. Slightly heavy but feels well made, good flip and internal sunvisor operation. I had flip fronts as I had to ride for work, and hated taking the helmet off to have a drink, or a fag, or a Ginsters pasty, or when garages insisted helmet remover when fuelling. Always a bit concerned on what would happen in a smash, but seeing as a lot of track instructors use them, then I trust their judgement. Still have a couple of full face helmets, but only because they match my bikes paintscheme! I'm a tart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeangel Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 ...hated taking the helmet off to have a drink, or a fag, or a Ginsters pasty I have a brilliant photo from a run a few years ago, where my mate is enjoying a Ginsters through the visor opening of his non-flip full face helmet Must dig that up.

There are no IXS helmets on the SHARP website - I believe that they only test helmets submitted by the manufacturer/importer. Human nature suggests you would only submit one if you expect a good result.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedracer Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Bought a Grex G9.1, cheaper helmet based on Nolan N91. Same shell and dual homologation. Bought cheap from a guy on ebay who'd bought an auction lot from a closing bike shop. Very bargainous even having to buy a Pinlock and chin curtain, still under a ton.

doug Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Bought some tank air scoops for the XT from ebay £80 ffs. Described as very good condition. They were all cracked and broken. I had to buy the tank as well as the seller would not sell them separately. No problem I could sell the tank on,or so I thought. The tank is bashed and the filler cap locked shut and no key. So after a day with super glue,fiber glass, wob and paint got the panels fitted. Is it just me that can turn a bargain buy into a money pit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders59 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Spent a few hours today reassembling my project C90. Hideous little contraption really, but its got character and I should make a few quid on it when I sell it on. Everything done now apart from the front end. I think I will take the whole front end off as one, refurb it all and then bolt it back on . It saves me from having to watch endless shite on TV, So I guess it must be good for the soul. Had a bit of a temptation recently to get an old 1200 Bandit. Logic being it isn't a sports bike and I might be sensible on it. Reality is Im 60 this year, Too old to be risking more broken bones and cannot risk my licence, probably wouldn't be able to resist riding it on the back wheel everywhere, so need to put all thoughts of bikes out of my head. Its not much fun getting old and developing a sense of responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Photographing this FS1E yesterday I noticed a scooter in the background and the more I look at it, think it looks great. Is it great? It says Royal Alloy,where did it pop it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Talking of lids one of the best I had was a Caberg flip front - wrote it off in the spill that wrote off my arm. It didnt come apart Got a cheap shitty Chinese full face and a decent piss pot lid for the days when I fancy mashing my face into the blacktop.
