  1. Let's agree to disagree. I don't have that faith in people like you do. Hell 99% of riders always blame the cager in an accident. Thats not true every time is it? Probably not even half the time honestly. A lot of people on bikes put themselves in a situation where if they were obeying the laws...the car wouldn't have been an issue. Without the cars.... Almost every time a rider does crash the riders blame tires, road conditions, weather, etc....instead of just owning up to their own riding mistakes. Hell even the professionals do it. Videos prove it to em no matter how much they can think otherwise. It helps us all learn from everyone's mistakes not just our own. As for the ridicule thing I was just making a light hearted situation out of a simple mistake. Its always funny once ya know everyone came out OK in the end.
  2. This is why everyone on two wheels should have a camera. So we can all ridicule each other on our riding mistakes and then we can also learn from the mistakes. Mainly just for the ridicule though. I have my 3 mph crash somewhere will have to find it. Rear brake noob mistakes.
  3. Oh and here are some damage pics. There's a Deals Gap trip happening this weekend and if anyone can help we're having trouble finding a stator cover and a clipon. I think he said his Rim shows up Tuesday. He's already paid into the trip and the rest of us would hate for him to miss it. Anyone have any stock parts laying around?
  4. Just wrong body position and bad maintenance throttle. Intersections this time of year are sketchy to begin with so adding a couple rider errors to the apex of one is always risky
  5. Oh and I forgot to point out I hated my HJC's. lol. Does anyone here have the new HJC Spies Replica? I see they improved some things but still not sure....the Spies Replica looks amazing though.
  6. Oh? Where's that? I admitted it's pros and cons...you seem to be the one in denial. Bring up your half together Arai that costs the price of an HJC just to fix. Still no complaints of course because it's top Notch Arai . I also love my Arai. They both have their faults. There is no perfect helmet. If there were there wouldn't be so many damn brands out there and so many people buying them up and arguing over which is best. Right?
  7. Hey now! I love my AGV...It's all positive when I compare it to my Arai and even has a couple things that one up it. For example the sketchy side pods...they aren't there. No one will admit it but they cause more of a problem than a convenience for a full paint scheme. I know mine and yours did. The shields are $30 cheaper than Arai and come with tear off posts and 3 tear off's. Nice Suprise. Also, there aren't any clear vents that discolor over time and look like shit. They're painted with the helmet. I think Suomy does it too. Anyway the negatives are still there...the orange on my Dreamtime faded the first summer. Sure I was riding a ton as I was laid off so it was in the sun anytime it was out, but it still shouldn't have faded at all. It's ok because now it's just more yellow. haha. The only interior material that self destructed was the neck roll from me taking it on and off with my sandpaper head. lol. Not good for any fabric. And it's a $12 part anyway. Fine by me. One bad thing you didn't mention is that the decals started to bubble?! WTF! AGV offered to replace it free of charge but I know it would just happen again so what's the point...I'll just keep mine. Buy one! Preferably the Rossi Replica Ducati Test Helmet Size medium...and if you don't like it I'll buy it off ya at Half Price.
  8. Well in that case nevermind the Otterbox...you need one of these...
  9. I got an otterbox for my Evo at the sprint store. I love it. Especially seeing that all the other cases don't cover up the ports and let them fill with dust and lint. Anyway it was worth it and the screen protector also is nice since it's like a hard plastic..not stretchy and can be rinsed off and reused multiple times. I've tested it out quite a few times now by dropping it, never on purpose but ya know...it works. Check at the company you go through...Verizon or whatever to see if they have them in stock. Call around.
  10. If it's for the iPhone I've seen them at WalMart's
  11. Yeah I kinda blame the last ones on the weather. We weren't really going fast enough to show any sense of speed. Not enough lean angle, kinda just cruising. They should be better this time with the dry runs we had
  12. I was only trying to get everyone on the video to be fair. Thanks for being a good sport and letting me pass
  13. Just so everyone knows. I've got the GoPro HD Motorsports Hero mounted on the chin of my helmet. Also I had it running in 720p so I can have good quality and more footage at the same time. It worked out well.
