  1. With the popularity of sport and adventure touring at an all-time high, the advancement of the incredibly versatile modular helmet segment was a must for SHOEI engineers. Though still a respected part of their 2012 helmet lineup, the Multitec’s modular design was used as a backbone, analyzed with scrupulous eyes, and tweaked ever so slightly to yield the most progressive flip-up helmet on the market today—the all-new Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet. Boasting improved shell aerodynamics, a wider and taller field of vision, a reduction in wind noise, an internal sun shield, and a fully removable, washable and replaceable liner system, the Neotec is the next level of modular helmet design for today’s hybrid motorcyclists. The Neotec includes a Pinlock Fog Resistant shield and clear Pinlock insert. A strategically-placed, three position upper vent for optimal air intake, and uniquely-positioned upper exhaust outlet vents to take better advantage of negative pressure suction—all yielding dramatically-improved cool-air intake and hot-air expulsion. The anti-fog, anti-scratch inner smoke shield easily drops down via a slide mechanism Available from Riders Discount, the Neotec available in a Borealis graphic, or a selection of solid colors. Pictured here is the Anthracite. You can get expert sizing advice and more information about ordering by getting in touch with MIKE through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 804.

  2. With approximately 30,000 service members riding motorcycles, the Department of Defense realized in the not-so-distant past that the high likelihood of injury associated with motorcycle accidents may have an adverse effect on end strength. In the interest of preserving morale by not enforcing an outright ban on motorcycles, it was decided that certain kinds of equipment had a significant effect on reducing the chances of a collision involving a motorcycle. Consequently, new regulations for motorcycle use by service members were created stressing, among other things, retro-reflective gear. Enter the MIL SPEC 2 vest from Icon. While it’s only one part of your mandatory PPE for riding, other than a helmet, it’s the one thing your mentor is most likely to bust you for. And no matter if you’re in for two years or a lifer, disciplinary administrative actions never look good on the old EPR/OPR. The Icon Military Spec 2 Mesh Vest vest meets all DoD requirements for brightly colored, reflective outer-upper riding gear for day or night use. What’s particularly advantageous about this vest is that you can wear it over your standard riding gear (less expensive than buying a new jacket) or, since regulations permit – you can wear it over your uniform thanks to its adjustable fit. The vest comes in two sizes which fit either x-small to large or x-large to 3x-large. The advantage of this adjustability is that you can easily adapt the vest to suit whatever you happen to be wearing on the day; from fatigues to an armored leather jacket. The fit is adjusted via cinch-straps located on the lower sides so, all you have to do is put the vest on, zip it up and take out the slack. Thanks to the wide open shoulders, you won’t have a problem getting the vest on your upper body. For comfort, the Icon MIL SPEC is made with a mesh chassis that lets air pass through as you ride, so you won’t feel like you’re in a sauna on hotter days - you’ll probably forget it’s there once you ride off. In addition to its sizing adaptability, located on the lower back is a large 8.5” wide by 10.5” deep pocket with a Velcro flap over the top – perfect for stowing gloves when you hang up the vest. Up front, Icon has included an inner breast pocket which works well for a wallet and mobile phone. For those of you dealing with the occasional toll way, a clamshell pocket on the outer throttle side of the Icon vest is perfect for coins. Finally, instead of fumbling for your DD Form 2A when you get to base, gracefully hand the guard your see-through ID holder that’s attached with Velcro to the left side of your chest. Available from Riders Discount in orange/black or yellow/black. There’s also an instructor’s version available as well. You can find out more about these vest on our website or you can call MIKE at 866.931.6644 ext 804 for easy ordering and fast shipping. You can also email us – send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with and we’ll get back to you right away.

  4. I work on an Ubuntu machine (12.10 build) and like it much better than Windows. Took a bit getting used to but very similar to my mac at home.

  6. Bell has taken their popular Revolver lid from 2011 and given it a makeover, fixing the common issues. With the new Bell Revolver Evo Modular Helmet available from Riders Discount, you'll find a quieter helmet, a more efficient helmet, and a much improved inner shield, you're sure to enjoy this helmet offered by Bell. Features such a better eyeport gasket greatly reducing wind seepage and internal noise, and a new chin curtain has been added to eliminate cold air coming in from underneath and helps to reduce wind noise as well. The inner face shield mechanism is also much easier to use. A single button drops the inner sun shield down and a push button spring release retracts it back in place. The inner shield mechanism is large enough to be used easily with gloves on and maintain throttle control. To raise the chin bar, simply push the latch to release the chin bar and lift. Pictured here is the Templar Silver featuring a simple yet stunning graphic with plenty of flake. Also notice the top vent is a two-stage vent, allowing for closed, half, or fully open positions. Bell has included their exclusive Magnefusion magnetic strap keeper on the Revolver Evo Fit is true to size and available in Templar Silver, Black, White, Metallic Silver, Matte Black, Hi-Vis Yellow, and a more extreme Warp graphic.

  7. Alpinestars went back to basics with their simple and classically designed Viper Air jacket available at Riders Discount.

Reflective accents on the front and rear of the jacket increase visibility. Double YKK slippers on the sleeve. The bottom is auto-locking to keep your sleeve closed at speed, open up the top to increase ventilation. Neoprene 3D mesh collar keeps your neck comfortable and free of irritation.

  8. New from Alpinstars’ RideOut collection is the Alpinestars Scion 2L Waterproof Jacket available today from Riders Discount. The RideOut collection, aimed for riding in the city or casual trail riding, is the perfect example of fusing form and function. Featuring a two-layer, dual bonded construction with RipStop technology, the Scion 2L is both waterproof and breathable. Add the CE certified protection and the Scion 2L is as versatile as it is practical. The hood is completely removable and secured via velcro at the back of the neck and front collar. From the outside this appears to be a light spring jacket, but the removable CE armor in the shoulders and elbows keep you protected while looking great. Comes with a foam back pad, we highly recommend replacing this with the Alpinestars Bioarmor Back Protector Insert, or the Alpinestars Bionic Air Back Protector Insert. Ripstop nylon is a light-weight reinforced nylon fabric used in sails, parachutes, hot air balloons, that is woven with coarse, strong warp and filling yarns to prevent tearing. Tape sealed seams guarantee weather-proofing. Available in black/red, green/yellow, grey/fl. yellow (pictured), and orange/fl. yellow in sizes ranging from small to 4XL. We've found the fit to be true to size. For more information on the Alpinestars Scion 2L jacket or any other item you’re interested in from Riders Discount, feel free to contact MIKE by sending a message through this forum or call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804.

  9. A new color from HJC in their popular RPHA-10 lineup, the Halcyon, is now available from Riders Discount! The shell of the RPHA-10 is an advanced composite that combines carbon fiber, fiberglass epoxy, aramid epoxy and organic fibers in a precisely aligned weave that excels in strength, energy absorption and weight savings. HJC calls this their Performance Integrated Matrix (P.I.M.) construction and it saves weight by reducing unnecessary overlap and resin build-up. The PIM shell is not only strong and light, but it is also aerodynamic and quiet thanks to extensive CAD design and wind-tunnel testing. A hot helmet is an uncomfortable helmet, so HJC made sure that the RPHA-10 is able to keep your head cool and comfortable in warm weather. Ventilation comes from two large intakes on the top of the head, and one on the chin. All three are highly adjustable to allow for variable amounts of airflow depending on the conditions. These vents move a lot of air through the helmet without the higher noise levels that can come from some ventilation systems. Inside the shell, the full-removable/washable SilverCool liner helps wick away moisture and features a Gingko extract coating for a natural anti-bacterial guard. All RPHA-10 helmets come with HJC’s newest HJ-20 Pinlock shield and insert for the best in fog prevention. These shields also feature an easy to use center locking mechanism that prevents the shield from accidentally popping open if you turn your head to look behind you or to the sides. If you’re interested any of the RPHA-10 graphics, or another HJC helmet, you can get in touch with MIKE for expert sizing advice and more information.

  10. PM's sent. Pricey but you get what you pay for in jeans.
  11. We are closed on the weekends but if you are in the area tomorrow stop in, I am here until 6PM.
  12. Most protective motorcycle jeans on the market today look like the rider is on their way to carpentry class or an 80’s music video, Lean Angle jeans set out to change that stigma providing aesthetically pleasing jeans while still providing the necessary protection. From the casual onlooker, these look like normal jeans from the mall. However the Lean Angle Jeans feature an internal protective Kevlar liner with CE rated Forcefield knee and hip armor and a moisture wicking sports liner to help keep you cool. The Forcefield armor conforms and has passed the stringent European standard tests for impact protection. Specifically designed hip and knee armor pockets ensure the armor will not shift, or allow any unwanted movement while riding. Not everyone has the same legs, so Lean Angle has added Velcro to the knee armor to custom fit the padding exactly where you need it. Quality YKK zippers and flat front rivets to prevent any harm to the finish of your motorcycle. Fit is true to size. For more information, help with sizing, or if you'd like to place an order give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. You can also send a PM through this forum, or an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away!
  13. The same great Dual Temp tire warmers from Woodcraft we've always loved, now made in the USA. Along with being manufactured in the US, Woodcraft has listened to you and updated their warmers. New in the gen II is a redesigned dual temp switch, thermostats that hold a tighter temp range guaranteeing a perfect heat cycle, and double stitched seam with more durable nylon construction. Designed to work on as little as 1,000W per pair and provide an even heat distribution thanks to tightly aligned coils that provide consistent thermal coverage. This coverage is aided by side curtains sewn into the warmer elements which help increase each warmer’s efficiency and aids in warming up the rims. In this way, tires can soak heat from the rims as you line up on the grid, providing a little more grip when the green flag drops. The benefits of using tire warmers are many, from reducing the risk of crashes on the first few laps out on the track to increased tire life – both of which result in less money coming out of your pocket. If you’re serious about your time at the track, consider investing in Woodcraft Dual Temp Tire Warmers from Riders Discount. MSRP - $399.99 For more information, call MIKE at 866.931.6644 ext 804 or send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away. Fleece side curtains eliminate the #1 cause of heat loss by protecting the tires from side winds. Also note the easy pull Velcro strap. Heat intensity is selectable between 130°-140° F (warm) to 170°-180° F (hot) settings. An indicator light is located where the power cord makes its way into the warmer element. It will shine red as the tires are coming up to temperature and green when they’re ready. Heating coils are tightly spaced to provide even temperatures throughout the tire carcass. This prevents hot spots from forming and increases tire life. To prevent burn through as the result of forgetting to turn off the warmers when you head out onto the track, Woodcraft tire warms have a safety plug built-in to the front and rear warmers. By virtue of completing the circuit, this must plugged in for the warmers to provide heat. In this way, damage to the tire warmers is easily avoided since they must be disconnected before removing them from your tires.
  14. From the popular Cortech Super 2.0 luggage series, the sleek modern looking Cortech Super 2.0 14L tail bag is available from Riders Discount. Compared with past tail bag mount systems that can be confusing to install or worrisome that it may fall, the Super 2.0 tail bag is a breeze to install. Including a neoprene scratch resistant base, four 12” long buckle straps allow the tail bag to secure to virtually any mounting point on the rear of the bike, or it can attach to the Cortech Super 2.0 saddlebags. Cortech includes a rain cover in case you get caught in an unexpected storm. The 10"L x 7"W x 6"D main compartment is lined with soft felt to prevent scratching. Underneath the lid is an internal organizer pocket large enough to hold your phone, wallet, keys, and any maps. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us a message on this forum or give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient?

  15. Riders Discount now has the newest edition to Bell’s extremely popular Star Carbon line-up - the Bell Star Carbon RSD Sway Helmet. As with the previous Bell Star Carbon helmets, this version uses an outer shell that is made from 100% carbon fiber. Bell spent a great deal of time engineering the shell to be not only lightweight and strong, but very aerodynamic as well. What they came up with was an angular shape with a uniquely contoured spoiler, both of which make this helmet extremely stable and resistant to buffeting. Air doesn’t only flow over the exterior nicely, it also flows in through the strategically placed vents at the front. This fresh air then pushes the warm air around your head out the exhaust vents at the back to help keep you cool and fresh. All vents are independently adjustable so that you can dial in the ventilation for different conditions. Designed by long time Bell Collaborator, Roland Sands, the RSD Sway graphic is laid over the carbon fiber with a matte finish that enhances the carbon fiber shell. This allows the weave to show through, and we think that’s a great design element. Basically a solid matte black lid from Bell with some RSD finesse. All the Bell logos are blacked out for a truly sinister look Feel free to get in touch with MIKE if you have any questions about the Bell Star Carbon RSD Sway, or any other Bell products. You can give him a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804 or shoot him a PM through the forum. You can also send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM if that’s more convenient. All Bell helmets come with a clear shield as standard, but we have all the optional shields available - including dark smoke (pictured) and the SolFX Transitions shield.
  16. One of the top selling suits last year from Alpinestars is back in 2014 with two new colorways and now available from Riders Discount! The Alpinestars Orbiter Leather Suit puts an emphasis on providing comfortable protection. Equally at home at track days, canyon carving or the street, the Orbiter is a great option for those looking to find an all around suit. It accomplishes this by combining track-tested Alpinestars protection technology with some new ergonomic features that are unique to this model. The Orbiter is constructed using premium 1.3mm full-grain leather that is stitched together with heavy-duty, reinforced seams for maximum durability. Impact protection is provided by removable CE-certified protectors under the leather at the elbows, shoulders, knees/shins. The knee/shin protectors attach using a floating system that lets you place them where you need them to be for optimal coverage. Additional protection can be added to the back by connecting a Bionic Race back protector to one of the three snaps found towards the top of the spine. These tried and true methods of protection are not brand new to Alpinestars suits, but they are highly effective and have been used for a reason. Ergonomically, the Orbiter starts to break away from the norm. Looking at the front of the suit, it is obvious that something is different. The front zipper is off center and runs up to the side of the collar instead of running right up the center. This, combined with the 3D mesh panel at the top of the front panel, a copious amount of stretch materials, and accordion stretch leather segments make the Orbiter an extremely comfortable suit to wear - whether you’re on the bike or off. It also vents air very effectively through the aforementioned 3D mesh on the front, as well as the back of the collar. Cooling is aided further by the ventilated back hump and perforated leather on the front, arms and back. No matter how much airflow a suit has, things do need to be freshened up from time to time and a removable mesh liner makes washing it a breeze. Thanks to the top-knotch ergonomic features, cooling, and protection, the Alpinestars Orbiter suit is one of the best all around suits out there. You can get expert sizing advice and more information about ordering by getting in touch with MIKE through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Feel free to send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! The Orbiter has an MSRP of $899.95 and is available in the White/Red shown here, and Black/Grey/Red. The 2013 colorways are also available if you'd like to see additional options. A unique off-center zipper and copious amounts of stretch material help make the Orbiter very comfortable off the bike, as well as on. The front also features 3D mesh at the top and perforated leather in the center.
  17. This Speed & Strength SS2500 Lunatic Fringe hybrid helmet from Riders Discount is an excellent choice for all kinds of riding. Stable enough at high speeds to be used on the street, and versatile enough to be used off-roading or while riding your supermoto. A tri-composite fiberglass shell keeps this helmet extremely light with increased strength and protection. The size large we brought in weighed 3.5lbs. The "Cool Core" moisture wicking liner is both removable and washable to keep your helmet smelling fresh all year long. The SS2500 Lunatic Fringe comes with an optically correct anti-fog clear shield, but dark smoke and silver/chrome are available as well. Large openings in the visor not only reduce drag when riding at speed, they funnel air directly into the “Airstrike™” direct course ventilation system. The ridge on the back of the helmet helps keep your goggle strap in place. Not a fan of the Lunatic Fringe graphic but like the style of the helmet? The SS2500 is available in gloss black, matte black, or silver. Or the alternate SS2500 Hell n' Back available in matte black, hi-viz yellow, and hi-viz orange if you prefer a simpler graphic.

  18. The S-1 glove offered by Alpinestars is the ultimate urban glove. The extended ¾ cuff offers the added protection similar to that of a full gauntlet, while having the flexibility of a short cuff. The Alpinestars S-1 glove comes pre-curved so you do not have to break them in prior to use. Fit is similar to the rest of the Alpinestars line up. These will feel a tad snug at first but break in nicely. Premium cowhide is use throughout the glove.
