Re: Motorcycle airbag jackets

Ive just compared the pictures for both and the d air one is a bit different, but they both have significant stretch areas in similar places , the D air one might have a bit more. But the biggest difference is the back. I'll just have to go to the shop and find out.

Re: Motorcycle airbag jackets

It was a Racing 3 D Air unperforated jacket. I take a ladies size 48 in Dainese, I checked my measurements and asked them about how tight it needed to be and specifically if they had made the jacket bigger to accommodate the inflated bits. They never said the elasticated bits at the sides were meant...

Re: Declining Standards

He was probably preoccupied with changing riding mode on a new bike or something like that. He probably got the message. I hate petrol stations or should I say diesel spillage stations, he was probably distracted by the relief of getting in and out without incident, apart from yours that is. As for ...

Re: Motorcycle airbag jackets

I've just sent one of these back because it didn't fit. It was extremely heavy and not particularly flexible. It costs £220 to have a new airbag assembly zipped in if it goes off. Unlike other makes there's no fees or additional costs you just buy this jacket with it already zipped into where the wi...

Re: Run flat tyres

Never in 10 years have we had a puncture. Nor in my new car. Must be where you drive. Aren't they basically ordinary tyres in that respect. I thought they were just different enough not to fall off the rim somehow.

Re: A few more videos

I don't know how this fits in with Roadcraft and IPSGA either; Speed and gears? I was just saying this is the theory behind it, the emphasis being on making progress. I suppose in terms of Roadcraft you can get the bike to turn more easily without losing too much speed. No I haven't watched the vide...

Re: A few more videos

It's to transfer load onto the front wheel so you have more grip when you counter steer to start the turn. As for late braking ... It's called a low-side.... As you ease off the front brake you start applying the throttle, so it's not late braking as such.

Re: Any opticians here?

You can now get varifocal contact lenses. They are infinitely better than glasses. I got them when I started riding a bike again and they make a huge difference. You get all round vision but still need reading glasses. I can read the display on my bike.

Re: Hazard warning sign on Dual Carriageway

It's not always obvious, hence the sign. There's one near me on the A22 and in 28 years I've only seen it used once and that was last week. I am joking when I say I hope you didn't stop to take that photo.... Anyway back to complete and utter boredom.
