  1. Riders Discount has another great deal for those of you that are looking for an absolutely top-grade helmet at an amazing price. Today, it’s the Arai Corsair-V Colin Edwards Replica. This handmade helmet is currently on sale for just $499! On top of this nearly 50% discount, we will also ship it anywhere in the lower 48 states for free! This special price is not available on our website, so be sure to call Nathan at 866.931.6644 ext. 809 to order yours. You can also send a message through the forum or email us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! The Arai Corsair-V Edwards is shown here with an optional dark smoke shield.
  2. For a helmet to vent properly, any air that enters through the intake vents needs a place to go. Shoei placed a large, adjustable, rear-facing exhaust vent on the top of the X-12 for that exact reason.
  3. Arai’s Frost White finish on this helmet isn’t just matte, it also has a metal flake-like sparkle when the light hits it. We can’t say enough about how great this helmet looks in person!
  4. In this shot you can see that the leather and seams did their job, and the only piece to give way was the light stitching holding the sponsor logo in place.
  5. Helmets, and other safety gear is all about being prepared for the “what-ifs”, which is why Shoei incorporates their Emergency Quick Release System (EQRS) into the X-12. This is a set of tabs that allow emergency personnel to quickly and easily detach the cheek pads and remove the helmet without putting any strain on the neck of a rider that could possibly be injured.
  6. Teknic chose to redesign their Violator gloves for 2013, and the result is a solid pair that offers a whole lot of bang for the buck. In fact, these are the gloves that Josh Hayes chose to wear during his dominant, championship-winning 2012 season. The Teknic Violators wrap your hands in durable cowhide that is doubled up in high-risk areas like the base of the palm, pinky, thumb, and wrist. These reinforced areas are made of large cuts of leather with minimal stitching in order to maintain as much of the original strength as possible. Knit kevlar is found between the two leather layers at the base of the palm, as well as running up the side of the hand and into the pinky for extra abrasion resistance. The palm has been changed to sheepskin for 2013, which gives them a very supple feel with great feedback. It features the same scaphoid sliders as the Xcelerators and they protect your wrists from the all too common palm first landing, without interfering with your control of the bike. Additional molded protectors are found at the wrist, side of the pinky, and across the knuckles. All of these molded pieces have integrated air intakes that work together with the perforated leather sections to help keep your hands cool and comfortable. This is not the only comfort feature found on the Violators, however. A combination of accordion stretch segments in the first two fingers and thumb, the sheepskin palm and Kevlar stretch panel on the back of the hand make them extremely flexible right off the bat. The Violators also feature a pre-curved shape to the fingers, which helps eliminate the bunching of material in the palm. This bunching is not only uncomfortable, but can also cause blisters to develop. Overall, we think Teknic did a great job on the redesigned 2013 Violators. There are a lot of gloves to choose from in the sub-$200 category (which these come in well under), but these are definitely one of the best values available. If you’re interested in a pair of your own, feel free to get in touch with Nathan through this forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 809. Is email more convenient? You can send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! Teknic Violator gloves come in two color options. Black.. and White/Black. Scaphoid sliders help protect you from your own instinct to put your hands out in the event of a fall. They keep your hands sliding, rather than catching the pavement and sending the impact force through the hand, wrist, arm and shoulder. Molded knuckle protectors are backed by high density foam for impact protection, while also allowing air to flow through the vents. The pinkies are guarded by secondary leather wrap with a Kevlar lining. An abrasion resistant Kevlar knit stretch panel surrounds a vented portion on the back of the hand, providing both flexibility and cooling. Vented knuckle protectors help to protect and cool the fingers.

  13. The knees took a beating as well, but the seams between the main leather and the accordion leather stretch panels remained intact.
  14. But you can still retire with some awesome tools in your collection
  15. Today we’re bringing you more time saving tools from Motion Pro - the Hex-Pro Pivot Head Wrenches. These sturdy wrenches feature a patented pivoting head that swivels 180 degrees from one side to the other. This allows you to pivot around obstructions without removing the end from the fastener. The ability to pivot, combined with the long handles makes it easier to access hard to reach areas as well. Metric Hex-Pro - Kit includes 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10mm wrenches SAE Hex-Pro - Kit includes 3/16”, 7/32”, 1/4”, 5/16”, and 3/8” wrenches You can add a set to your toolbox by calling MIKE at 866.931.6644 ext. 804, or by sending him a message through this forum.

  16. The second set of gloves in the Alpinestars Monster line-up is the M1. Based on the S1, the M1 is designed for the street and not the track. They feature a shortened cuff for flexibility, yet one side is extended to guard the wrist. This makes them a solid hybrid glove for the aggressive street rider. The Alpinestars Monster M1 gloves are only available in Black/Green. Knuckles on the fingers are studded with raised finger sliders like those found on the GP-Tech gloves. A sturdy leather chassis is held together with heavy duty seams that are double stitched using contrasting green thread. A TPR Monster logo is sewn onto each cuff. MSRP $169.95
  17. I'll throw in a Riders Discount t-shirt with purchase too.
