Recurring Left Hand Palm Pain

The price for the the Hedon Heroine is everywhere the same. (£649 to be precise)

Actually all the prices ( Tees, Posters, gloves ) where the same over there as anywhere else as far as I could observe. I can understand that the bike shed (and its events), the-cafe-racer.com and other shops alike are mostly oriented to "fashion" but it doesn not necessarily mean their prices are higher. You simply find a selection more oriented towards the high prices, in comparison with sportsbikeshop.com or similar cheaper websites.

On top of that, if you take the Hedon Heroine Full face, and compare it top of the range quiet, comfortable unfogable helmets, the price is on point. I take as comparison the Arai RX-7 , or the Shubert C3 pro.

And this last one is apparently know to suffocate you in heat if the weather is to hot, as they forsake airflow to increase noise reduction.

My opinion are based on watching revzilla reviews, Fortnine or french website such as 4h10.

I like to ride with style, will always favour good looking stuff to practical if it offers the same level of protection, even if it means paying a bit more, and I stand by it. But that's just me

 

Me, no, no idea what you are talking about

I'll take a look next time I'm over.

 

sorry @Samuel F didnt realise you were after the racer, thought it was the standard one at 500

 

No need to be sorry !
(The other one isn't worth it )

 

Update on the reccuring left hand pain:
I was doing a little 80 yesterday on the M80, to avoid a hazardous driver of course (hum hum), when a fucking massive wind blow almost blew me off the car on my left ( ffs, that was not cool, had to bend against the wind).

My point is I had to bend forward on my bars, and I realised my tension/pain was gone. So it is definitively a position issue. I usually ride relaxed, cruising, not arching forward "racing style", arms almost straight. By simply bending my elbows this tension in my wrist goes away...

I will need to update my bars position I suppose...

 

I have mentioned this elswhere, but have you checked the levers are in line with your forearm.
There should be no bend in your wrists at the handlber when you rest a couple of fingers on the levers.

If the strain/pain is releved when you lean forward, it sounds like the levers are too high, so when you lean forward your forearm goes down making it inline with the levers!

 

To be fair: I am not the smartest tool in the shed when it comes to motorcycle mechanic. Not only it doesn't interest me much, but I'm simply clueless about most things.

Your suggestion is exactly the kind of thing that could cause me problem without me ever thinking about it.

I'll check the video and have a look about it soon. Cheers for your insightful answer @Red Thunder !

 

You've got to learn Samuel!
Watch the videos, Delboy etc. And get yourself a Haynes manual.
Start with the real basic stuff, pumping tyres up without stripping the thread, re-fuelling without setting the bike on fire, that sort of stuff, then you'll be race tuning your engine before you know it.

 

Not. Interested.

 

I reckon you're one of the Honda team or similar and having us all on.

 

I'm sure there's some kind of conoisseur joke in here, but no. Triumph Bonneville rules. Only bike I ever wanted to have.

And for mechanic, for me it's like processing film photography.

I love riding bikes and taking film photography. I'm simply not interested by the mechanic or development.... simply not my thing.

Fair do's Samuel
Dead honest reply, keep on doing what you enjoy mate.
There was no intent to upset you, more trying to enthuse you into a bit of basic mechanics which can sometimes seem daunting.

 

I must really work on my spelling my phrasing or whatever... I am not upset ! And you're NOT the only one to twell me that !
(I'm not natively english speaking).

Not upset ! amused !

 

Guys, don't encourage the poor boy to do his own maintenance, you're doing me out of a bike to tinker with! (Plus I can promise you getting Sam enthused about mechanics is a lost cause)

 

It is indeed ! hahahaha.

me after doing mechanic on my own bike :
