With more plastic surgery than any other rider in MotoGP, Andre still hides his face under this helmet whenever he heads out on track. And thanks to the research and development that went into producing the RPHA 11 Pro helmet, the chances of you needing plastic surgery on your face are reduced significantly when you don this helmet, too! The yellow contrasts nicely with the black and white colors on the helmet, which makes it stand out in traffic, or at the track. Ionnone’s number is affixed boldly on the rear of the Aldo Drudi design helmet, too. From his earliest designs, about the only thing that hasn’t changed is the Aprilia rider’s logo drawn on top of the helmet. Other than that, like his face, all of the other motifs are constantly changing. The RPHA 11 Pro gives you everything you need for a safe, comfortable ride wherever you go. This helmet was engineered from the cheekpads up to be a premier lid worthy of use on some of the world’s fastest riders. A reinforced carbon and carbon-glass hybrid fiber shell provides the shape of the helmet in which your head is protected from all angles. It’s light, strong and designed to disperse impact energy over larger area so less energy is transferred to the user. Directly below this is an ergonomically-shaped EPS liner that’s covered on the rider’s side by a fully-removable Multicool interior liner. This liner is treated in a way that does two things; first, it pulls moisture away from the body, keeping you cool and dry. Secondly, you have to deal with all of that moisture somehow, and you don’t want it to be a nice home for bacteria to grow. To look after the smell that comes with bacteria, the liner is treated with a material that prevents microbes from stinking up the liner. Outside of the helmet, you’ll find one of the easiest visor changing mechanisms we’ve ever encountered. It takes literally five seconds to change shields. If you can ride bikes, you can change this shield, easily. At the front of shield, there’s a push button tab that locks the visor down securely at all speeds. It allows you to easily crack the visor as well, for a little extra cooling capacity when you need. And best of all, every helmet ships with both, a clear visor and a smoke shield in the box. There’s no need to add that item to your order! Outside of the shell, HJC engineers fitted a range of intakes and exhaust ports to move air over the skull while you ride. Check and forward-facing intakes can all be adjusted easily with a gloved hand. And for the cool-weather rider, a removable chin skirt is also included with the RPHA 11 Pro helmet. It’s a really nice touch that allows you to stay comfortable in a wide range of riding conditions.

I have never been more nerded out by riding gear than i am right now. Just before the Gap trip I made a few weeks ago I discovered a hole in my tourmaster riding pants. So just chalked it up as get a replacement next year. Wore my old beat-up Stitch pants that I bought used on adventure riders for that trip. While down at the Gap I met a guy named Dan with similar riding interest that I have. He talked very hightly about his Klim gear how much he loved it and how great of a company they are to work with and they stand behind their "Lifetime Warranty". At that time he had me convinced just to step up my game to a higher end gear/company than tourmaster. So over the next couple weeks I did a lot of research and checking out videos and reviews online and everything kept pointing to the Klim latitude line for Sport Touring. In the pants they even made it tall version so it seems like a no-brainer but of course my tight ass wallet still wasn't going to spend $550 on pants. So my plan, keep an eye on ADV rider or ebay for a lightly used pair. And low and behold there was a pair on Ebay for $350 with the option to send offer. These were advertised as "like new, with tags removed but still came with them, used for one trip" So my hope was to get these for $300 using the offer option. Figured id have to play the dance (offer-conter offer...) so hit them low at $280 ...And they acepted! SWEEETT! Once i got them they were a perfect fit and i was super impressed with the quality. VERY happy with my decision. So at that point I was sold, I knew I would wanted the Jacket too. So again my tight ass isn't paying $700 for a jacket. So off the second hand outlets i go. Didn't see anything at first but the very next day on ADV rider one pops up. Brand New w/tags (NEVER WORN). The guy got it as a warranty replacement for his older model and apparently they changed them completely and the new model didn't fit him. Had it listed for $500, plus shipping, plus paypal fees. But you know me gotta hit him low. Offer $400..crickets...bumped it to $425...crickets...finally i told him i was all in at $450 plus $20 for shipping out the door but he would have to eat the paypal fees. You have to realize this was 2 days after he listed it and noone else even sniffed it but me. He told me Friday night he would think on it over night and let me know. Saturday morning he sends me his paypal info and accepted my offer. Freaking Bad Ass! Got the Jacket today and it too is an absolute perfect fit. I was worried they didnt come in a tall size but also read Klim is a very generous cut. Perfect. Better than any other jacket I've owned. I know I'm babbling on here but I have another story about the pants. When I got them and tried them on I realized there was something in the pockets. In the right front pocket there was a brand new crisp perfectly folded $10 bill looks like fresh out of the bank somebody purposely carefully folded it and placed it in that pocket. And the left front pocket there was a Buddhist prayer flag wadded-up. There was also something in the thigh pocket it was an Tusk or an antler off of some sort of animal. Obviously I found this very odd and wanted to get to the bottom of where they came from. So I emailed the seller and asked if she knew the history of the pants and where they came from and told her that I had found things in the pocket. She explains to me that her husband bought these pants and use them on a motorcycle trip to the Himalayas and when he got home he never use them again. So I guess that explains all of that..lol An added bonus i also picked up another pair of my Astars gloves i love so much on Ebay for half price...lol

WTF is up with their new album, so far there are two songs out from it. It is not Green Day at all.

Happy too, it has wheelied a couple of times. Most recently on 21 coming back from the Epic Ride. I try and hit those lights when on that road and be in front and then go WOT with speed shifts to 90.

Congrats on the new bike! The cross plane is addicting for sure.

Very good choice. Now may I interest you in a suppressor to complete the package?

All morning I have been trying to figure out what it sounds like....you nailed it.

Not even remotely accurate. Move along. However, remember when Metallica cut their hair and started to suck? Looks like Billy Joe stopped wearing eye makeup... just sayin'.

I have done this, and it was excellent.

Kent doesn't care.

It wasn't mint after that.

All proud of getting a sign WU plack. I got one signed by Dave Kindig and Jack Hanna. 😁

Another beautiful day, Ohio has been Stylishly rocking the Global warming coat this year, got another double century ride in today. 👍

nice find. now you can be an all-weather buddhist power ranger

Saw you post up on the N2 forum as well. Just let me know when you're ready next season and I'll get you setup. We have a Try the Track offer open to anyone who is comfortable manipulating the controls of a bike and going highway speeds and has never ridden on any track before (this is a safety issue). A person can get 2 free sessions at any of the track days we host for free, no catches. Just make sure to sign up early because those spots fill first. If you want to continue to ride the rest of the day after two sessions, no problem as we offer a special low rate for those individuals to continue to ride the rest of the day. You just need to supply the bike in good mechanical condition so it'll pass tech. We rent gear (suit, boot, gloves) as well.

Should be a guess my ride thread. So we can guess girl and bike
