i like the harley sportster XLH

however i am and would probably fall off of it and shred a bunch of bacon off my back if i ever did ride a motorcycle, id prolly go for a 3 wheeler/trike.

im pretty open to bikes i just dont like those rice burners... or those whites dudes who ride them up and down the highway, cutting in and out of lanes, slapping my hood and giving me the finger

Actually that bike would be good for a beginner rider. Light weight and low power. Id stay off the highways, just hit the backroadsm

it's 30's 40's 50's here in north atl and i still see folks on their bikes. i used to be jealous, but unless you have heaters everywhere i can't see riding in that weather. takes the pleasure away.

windchill is a mfer. can't operate controls, shift, brake, or turn your head right cause it's too damn cold. my cutoff is min 55f and sunny with no wind. other than that i'll wait until it warms up. i'm good.

also tired of dudes asking me about quiet helmets. ain't no such thing. get earplugs.

Was riding around Canada and Europe a couple months ago. Talking Switzerland, Germany, etc. In November/December.

Ordered some Hippo Hands and had little to no trouble in cold weather. Rain was annoying, but still very much doable.

They are ugly as hell, but worth if riding around in colder temperatures.

Night riding a dark and rainy French mountain pass is just...

What airbag jacket combo are y'all rocking right now?

I hate to wear an airbag underneath and wearing it over a jacket dont look right. Then there's not many jackets with integrated airbags.


Im thinking i just buy a tech air 5 plasma and a regular alpine jacket, call it a day

I use the Helite vest (along with the fork attachment) when in Europe, where I ride a Tenere 700.

Have a Tech Air for the states, where I ride an Africa Twin.

I wear the Tech Air over a ghost jacket but under a regular shirt. Wear the Helite over everything. Tech Air feels less intrusive, but either one works out well.
