Whats The Last Thing You Bought?

Air Bag leathers have very thin but strong air bags built into the leathers, a small discreet compressed air capsule is inside the front, the system uses a small GPS module in the back of the leathers, this is removable to re charge it, as soon as you lose contact with your bike the air bags inside are activated in milliseconds, you look.a bit like the old Michelin Man, it protects your back, chest, arms, neck etc. The small gas canister can deactivate the inflated suit by pressing a button, it can be used up to 3 times before needing replacing, the cost is around £60. This system helps prevents the rider from what would be more serious injuries. These are now mandatory for all TT riders, Moto GP, WSB and many more events. The system is so popular that you can buy textile jackets with the same system, you can get inner or outer Gilets with the same system. Horse Riders are now using them. I look at it this way, would you prefer to drive a car with no air bags or one with them. Whilst there is no substitute for careful driving/riding if something can help save a person from more serious injuries, then why wouldn't you. RST Inamotion Air Bag Leathers can be bought for between £650 to £1,000. Personally I only ever wear 1 piece leathers, and have done for decades, as riders we are all different in our choice of kit we ride in. My eldest son got himself a set when they came out, my other son intends to get a set himself, and likewise as am I. I know the question was asking what they were, so hope it wasn't to much rambling. Ride safe from an ageing Rocker.

 

I have Oxford HG’s with a controller just like that on the dirt bike and it’s mounted on the bars. It wouldn’t fit in the handguards as they are a different profile to those on your Ducati, plus I find the buttons can be awkward sometimes requiring a firm, direct press. They’re about 12yrs old now so maybe they’ve improved somewhat.

 

My latest purchase

Matches the Speedy

 

You do know that the red ones are the fastest?

 

Old and New.

 

I have a red one @Baza ...

 

I saw the footage from this a few years ago now. Most collisions involving motorcycles are statistically not the fault of the rider. The footage was from the Subaru.

I'm well past midlife, unfortunately.

 

That's lovely, I am partial to a bit of flouro....

 

Bought this neck tube a couple of months ago, wore it for the first time today..... look how well it matches my bike!!

 

Nice.

 

I have the same helmet (different colour) and bought it to match my Speedy!

 

Just bought a load of red aluminium bolts for the engine covers on my Speedy - will post a pic when they're installed.

My mates think I'm a tart!!!

 

Are they to go with the tassels at the end of you handlebars?
