Yes for the ultimate in protection... but seriously, yes it's included.

You're right considering the owners of Alien Motion made the original Ballistic.

Riders Discount is now a stocking dealer for Alien Motion batteries! Alien Motion may be a new name to many of you, but they have been designing and manufacturing lithium ferrous (LiFeP04) batteries in this configuration for longer than most of their competitors. If you haven’t already, we highly recommend the upgrade to a LiFePO4 battery. These work very well whether you ride a sportbike and want to shed some weight or a have a cruiser and just want a reliable, maintenance free battery. Alien Motion’s lithium ferrous batteries are hand-made in the USA and use a unique internal chemistry that allows them to store 3 – 4 times the energy of a conventional lead acid battery. They don’t only store more energy though - they store it for a lot longer. Lithium ferrous batteries have a very low rate of discharge, which means that you can let them sit for a year without a charge and still have enough juice to start your bike. One of the very few downsides is that they are a bit sensitive to the cold. You will want to store the battery indoors if you plan on letting it sit for extended periods. It’s not all about better performance though - these things are also ridiculously lightweight. The first thing you notice when you pick up a lithium ferrous battery is that they are incredibly light. Weight savings of up to 80% versus an equivalent lead acid battery mean that some applications stand to shed up to 10 pounds in battery weight alone! The small size of this type of battery also means that you end up with a lot of extra room in the battery compartment. Other brands require that you custom cut pieces of foam to secure the battery, but this is not an issue with Alien Motion. They include a perfectly shaped, high-density foam carrier with all 4-cell and 8-cell batteries so that you can drop it right into place without worrying about the fit. We have these in stock and ready to ship in 4-cell, 8-cell, and 12-cell configurations. 12-cell - $129.99 (Retail - $139.99) 8-cell - $99.99 (Retail - $109.99) 4-cell - $64.99 (Retail - $69.99) Free Shipping in Lower 48 States Alien Motion batteries are designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA, carry a 180 day warranty and come in at an industry leading price. They are not listed on our website yet, so be sure to give Nathan a call at 866-931-6644 ext. 809 to order yours today! You can also send a PM through the forum or send a note to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get right back to you. High-density foam carriers come with every 4-cell and 8-cell battery so that you don’t have to worry about securing it into place. With 4-cell, 8-cell and 12-cell in stock, nearly all applications covered!

Valentino Rossi hasn’t exactly kept his frustrations with his ride at Ducati a secret in interviews, especially towards the beginning of this season when his comments led to rumors that he would not be finishing the 2012 season with Italian bike manufacturer. Rossi did put these rumors to rest shortly after, but he had made it clear that he was unhappy with the performance of the bike. This frustration visually represented even earlier however. He wore one of his traditional one-off helmets for the second Italian round of the 2012 MotoGP season and it was obvious what he was thinking. The Aldo Drudi design features cartoon thought bubbles with expletives, storm clouds, bones, bombs and guns, which Rossi explained as being playful representations of the kind of angry thoughts that go through his head when things are not going well. His mechanic, Alex Briggs, also took to Twitter to further clarify the meaning of the design for English speaking fans. He said, “The basic translation in English would be WTF!” While we hate to see the man struggle, it did lead to this cool looking lid that we are now able to offer to you in limited quantities! We have been getting a lot of requests for this helmet since Rossi debuted it at Misano last season so don’t miss your chance to grab this limited edition! Be sure to call Nathan at 866.931.6644 ext. 809 or send him a PM through the forum. You can also feel free to send a message to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT.COM with Rossi WTF in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away! The AGV GP-Tech Rossi WTF helmet is shown here with an optional dark smoke shield. These helmets come with a clear shield as standard. When asked about the design, The Doctor said: "It's what I think when I ride. It is just for make a laugh. When you read the comics and one is very angry you have all the bad things like the bomb or the gun like this, it's try to understand without say exactly what you think, try to explain without saying exactly the word because a helmet with the word ‘F***’ is not very polite!" The back of the helmet features Rossi’s ever-present bulldogs Cesare and Cecilia.

For the third year in a row, Arai has released their their extremely limited edition helmet to commemorate the event.

And, just like Arai’s standard Corsair-V, this helmet is entirely hand-made and features superior ventilation, exceptional comfort and an outstanding finish. This is a very limited release that is not available for online sales, so be sure to get in touch with Nathan today if you are interested!

Colin Edwards has always been one of the most personable riders in the paddock, and the popularity of his previous Arai replica helmets has always reflected this. Edwards first showed his latest helmet design at the Indianapolis GP last summer and its bold design definitely turned some heads. Dubbed the Patriot, the helmet does not leave you wondering why. Bold stars and stripes wrap around the sides of the helmet, with the Special Warfare insignia of the US Navy Seals prominently displayed on top. Colin explained that this was meant to honor the 22 Seals and 8 other US personnel that were killed when their Chinook was shot down in Afghanistan in August of 2011 - just weeks before the race at Indy. Riders Discount has this brand new Arai Corsair-V Colin Edwards Patriot available and ready to ship today, so be sure to contact Nathan today if you’re interested.
