  1. What do factory MotoGP teams like Yamaha and Ducati have in common with Riders Discount Triumph? They all get their tires up to temperature using Capit tire warmers. Capit got their start producing industrial thermometers in the mid 90’s, before moving on to producing their world-class motorsport products. It’s easy enough to speak about the quality of a product, but results don’t lie, and Capit has six world championships under their belt. Capit tire warmers are available in four different models, but all share a few key attributes. The heat comes from what they call TNT technology, which means that the warmers don’t rely on an internal thermostat to regulate temperature like most tire warmers. Standard switches in most warmers open and close the circuit when a certain temperature is reached, and this leads to constant temperature fluctuations. Instead of the traditional switch, Capit uses self-regulating Teflon heating cables that reach the desired temperature and keep it there without the ups and downs. All Capit warmers are also 100% waterproof, fireproof, extremely durable and backed by a three-year guarantee. There are four different Capit models available – Sport, Maxima Spina, Maxima Leo, and Maxima Vision. Sport – This is the base model. Just plug it in and it reliably heats up to 185 degrees F time after time. MSRP - $420.00 Maxima Spina – This is the start of the Maxima range, which features more insulation and additional heating elements in the sidewall. This puts heat into the rim and helps keep tire temps up when the warmers have been removed. The Maxima Spina is a single temp model like the Sport. MSRP - $620 Maxima Leo – The warmers themselves are the same as the Maxima Spina, but with special connections for the Leo 2 or Leo 4 Thermo Control units. These allow you to adjust the temperature and are sold seperately. The control units are required for the Leo warmers to function. MSRP - $650 Maxima Vision – These are the top of the range tire warmers found in the MotoGP paddock. They feature their own individual temperature control units built-in to each warmer. The digital displays show the full range of temperatures available, as well as the running time. MSRP - $999.00 If you’re interested in using a set of Capit tire warmers the next time you head to the track, just give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804 and he’ll be happy to help. You can also feel free to send an email for FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! Maxima Vision The Maxima Vision features built-in temperature control units.

  2. http://www.nextmotochampion.com/nmc-news/paddock-rumor-ama-pro-racing-has-a-tv-deal-for-2013-and-beyond-2 As we understand it so far, fans can expect to see two and a half hours per race which will include a half hour pre race show, a full hour of Daytona Sportbike and another full hour of SuperBike. The DSB and SuperBike races are expected to be Live. We also understand this to be a 3 year deal instead of the 2 year deal that was discussed a couple months ago. Fans will be able to watch AMA Pro Racing on the CBS Sports Network.
  3. If you're willing to branch out - 2011 BSB Brand Hatch GP circuit race 3.
  4. If she says "what?", assume that means yes.
  5. Hey, I'd like to ride (with) you sometime, what's your number? alt: can I have your digits? BOOM.
  6. There’s no denying the fact that no one’s head is shaped exactly the same. Arai is well aware of this, and feel that a proper fit is extremely important when it comes to the protection and comfort that a helmet can provide. In order to fit these different shapes, Arai produces there helmets with a few different shapes of their own. Those that have tried on helmets and experienced pressure at the front and back of the head will definitely want to take notice of the Signet-Q and its long oval shape. The Arai Signet-Q looks nearly identical to the RX-Q and shares many of its features. These include the wide field of vision, quiet and efficient ventilation, brow-vent shields, and the Hyper-Ridge. If you’re not already familiar with the Hyper-Ridge, it’s the distinctive band that runs around the bottom of the shell. It not only provides a lower center of gravity, but also improves strength and aerodynamics. Despite these similarities, the Signet-Q is an entirely different model, which becomes clear when you take note of the differences.

Despite these similarities, the Signet-Q is an entirely different model, which becomes clear when you take note of the differences. The most significant difference between the Signet-Q and the RX-Q is the shape. The Signet-Q is actually 5mm longer from front to back, meaning that it is what Arai calls a long oval. Additionally, the Signet-Q has peel-away pads in the headliner that allow you to customize the fit on the sides of the head right out of the box. A new, more comfortable cheek pad system, called Facial Contour Support (FCS), was also added to this model. The new cheek pads feature an innovative design that puts just the right amount of pressure on the cheeks to give a secure fit and to keep wind noise out while being worn, but easily pull aside when putting the helmet on or taking it off. Like the headliner, the cheek pads also have a 5mm layer that can be peeled off to dial in the fit. If you’re interested in the Signet-Q, or any other Arai helmets, feel free to get in touch with Nathan through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 809. If email is more convenient, send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! The Arai Signet-Q is available in a variety of solid colors and graphics, including the US Flag Black Frost shown here.
  7. I see what you did there Mr. RVTPilot
  8. Company website says it's a novelty helmet and not DOT approved.
  9. Mr. Anderson and Mr. JellyBean? Mr. Casper, I'd like to request a change to my screen name.
  10. Great! Thanks for your business! You have a PM
  11. Every dude's reaction when they read the title - Also, welcome to the board!
  12. Spidi has been producing gloves since the 1970’s and their 35+ years of experience means that they are no strangers to designing gear that performs at the highest level. The Italian brand used all of this experience, plus input and data from world-class riders like Andrea Dovisioso to bring us their latest and greatest pair of gloves – the Spidi Carbo Track. The Spidi Carbo Track gloves are full grain cowhide gauntlets that are held together with sturdy Kevlar thread. Multiple layers of leather cover vulnerable areas like the fingers, while synthetic Clarino is laid over it to reinforce the palms. The gloves are also bristling with other protective materials that work with the high-end leather to keep your hands safe. Like many gloves, you will find carbon fiber guards over the knuckles and back of the hands, but there are also multiple layers of energy absorbing materials underneath these pieces that help keep impact force to a minimum. The most noticeable feature of the Carbo Track gloves, however, has to be Spidi’s Warrior Tech system. These are the panels of rubbery, plastic-like material that run from the wrist to the pinkie on the outside of the hand. The material itself is highly abrasion resistant, has excellent impact absorbing properties, and works as a slider to deflect energy away. It is separated in to cube shaped pieces within each panel that allow it to flex extremely well without reducing the amount of protection it provides. Spidi’s Carbo Track gloves are both track ready and comfortable enough to be worn on the street, so they make a great option for any rider that is looking for high-end gloves that provide excellent protection and build quality. You can order a pair by getting in touch with Nathan through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 809. If email is more convenient, feel free to send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! The Spidi Carbo Track gloves are shown here in White/Black, but are also available in Black, Black/Red, and Black/Yellow. Each glove is bristling with protection from the wrist to the tips of the fingers. The palm is reinforced with Clarino and Spidi’s Warrior Tech panels act as palm sliders. From the opposite side you can see how the Warrior Tech panel wraps around and covers the outside of the palm as well. Carbon fiber protects the knuckles and back of the hand. Multiple layers of energy absorbing materials are stacked underneath to keep impact energy to a minimum. Multiple layers of leather and carbon fiber guard the fingers. Perforations are also found between the fingers to allow air to flow through. The pinkie also receives its own dedicated protective panel. The outside of each wrist is not left off the list of protected areas.
  13. Sorry I do not have the TKC80's available.
  14. Appreciate the comments, thanks again for your business!
  15. Thanks for your business!
  16. PMs sent and all PMs replied, thanks!
  17. I've worn and tested quite a few helmets and found it to be on par with the other top brands.
  18. The neckroll of the HJC RPHA-10 Lorenzo Monster features Jorge Lorenzo’s championship logo, which is a combination of the number one plate and his initials. The four stars represent his four world championships - two in 250 and two in MotoGP.
  19. I'd just pay it. It's only $25, not like a $200 speeding ticket. Pack your lunch, drink with friends at home, etc., and make it up that way.
  20. OK just sent you a follow up. Sorry Todd
  21. I do not sell Pazzo's sorry but I do have CRG's.
