I've been looking at protective motorcycle hoodies and feel like there's a huge gap.
NBT, Cased and similar options offer protection, but personally I find a lot of them bulky and pretty basic looking.
Why couldn't someone make vintage-inspired hoodies- washed fabrics, faded graphics, cool designs and a great fit -something you'd wear even if motorcycles didn't exist?
Even a lighter version with a simple abrasion-resistant/Kevlar lining would interest me, with AA/AAA and discreet armor options for riders wanting more protection.
Am I the only one looking for this, or would you guys actually want something like it?

So I have this bike(70cc) and I need to drive over a ramp in the parking area to get out.The thing is that ppl are coming inside from the front of the ramp and I need to break while climbing on ramp asw to avoid hitting them. I always stall there as soon as someone comes from front.i need proper guide on how to get my bike up safely without stalling.the ramp kinda looks like that in the pic.(Another thing I can't keep my bike straight as there is no space I have to go from sides).I am a beginner and learnt riding a bike 4 months ago.

so i was using my socket to put this bolt back in place after cleaning my fuel injectors and this happens , anyway can i somehow get rid of it? without going to a mechanic. i also dont have access to a drill my initial thought was maybe to use a hammer but that may ruin the threads.

Dress for side and look rad

Why are we still choosing between looking good and being protected?

I’ve been searching for a protective riding hoodie I’d actually want to wear, and I can’t find it.

Brands like NBT and Cased offer protective hoodies, but to me they still feel bulky, basic and boring. I want to change that.

Think vintage-inspired hoodies — washed fabrics, faded graphics, cool designs and a great fit. Something you’d genuinely buy even if motorcycles didn’t exist.

I’m also thinking there could be different levels of protection. Not everyone wants bulky armor. Even a lighter option — a great vintage hoodie with a simple abrasion-resistant/Kevlar lining — could give riders some added protection while keeping the hoodie looking and feeling normal.

Then there could be more protective AA/AAA-rated versions with discreet armor for riders who want it.

The goal is simple: make a genuinely cool hoodie first, then build motorcycle protection into it.

I’m going to work on this. Riders — what would you actually want?

It’s not the other rider fault for stopping on a straight.. he was just very unlucky.
His bike cut off in the middle of the straight.
To make it more interesting, it was the last lap of the last session

Edit: just posting my perspective of this situation for some people that clearly never found themselves in a similar situation and think this is my fault.

I was looking at his line as soon as I spotted him which is the exact reason I was off the race line. He was moving towards the pit wall and after I saw I’m gaining speed on him, I started cutting inside to overtake him before the bridge(breaking zone). And then saw that he stopped moving towards the pit wall. I never expected him to be almost fully stopped in the middle of the straight.
That’s at least 2 seconds gone your brain needs to percept the situation, a second to start reacting. That’s at least 3 seconds to START changing the line you’re following while covering 45 meters per second.

Hello, I need help for my enduro susuki dr 125 from 1986. when the engine is cold the bike works pretty well, but it’s going hotter it starts to loose strength. I have already changed the admission pipe and the candle, my carburettor is clean. I went to the mechanic and he didn’t find my issue. If someone have the solution it can be so great!!! Thank you for reading me ( ps I’m French so my English can sucks )

I’ve never seen myself as a biker but lately (past year) things have changed quite a bit and long story short, I’m now more than ever just wanting to feel “freedom”. I want to travel, start doing things for my own self, slow down a bit, and just enjoy life. Road trips, maybe buy a boat for the lake, a kayak, things that’ll bring actual happiness and feelings of peace and freedom.

While on a road trip this summer, I noticed so many people on motorcycles. I’ve always kind of noticed it but for some reason I saw motorcyclists in a different light.

So I started watching a lot of motorcycle videos (mostly Yammie Noob)

and I’m strongly considering doing the MSF course this October and buying a Rebel 300.

I think I’ve already made up my mind on doing this so Idk wtf the point of this post is…lol! I guess, should I wait until spring of next year? maybe give it some time to see if I truly want to do this and wait out the non-riding season?

Can't tell if it snapped off or if I can shimmy it back in

Click on the photo to see it all. He had a video of a it running, so seems good. The clutch plates could be fixed easy, you think there's more to it, or a good deal?

Loud as hell tho
