Any Dainese gloves worth it? I got a 15% off coupon and they're doing a Memorial Day sale now.

Nothing to rave about, but they do a good job blocking the wind and keeping my hands warm down to like 30 F. Below that I'm more inclined to wear heated gloves. But they're well constructed and fit good, so I assume any of their gloves would likewise work well.

My Dianese Carbon gloves are awesome (gauntlet version). Have a scaphoid slider which not every "sport" glove has, the leather feels very supple, but I still feel quite protected in them.

They're ... fine? Not worth the *premium* markup. I don't know if Five has a stockist where you are, but their stuff is great quality and probably about the same (or less) than Dainese stuff with a 15% discount. FWIW the rest of my riding gear is dainese but I've never been all that jazzed on their gloves and I love my Five RFX3's prukinski fucked around with this message at 01:58 on May 26, 2023 |

What other crazy clothes poo poo are people up to, unbuttoning your pants every time you take them on/off? Undoing your belt? Gaping your socks? Where does the madness end, goons?

I am pretty morally opposed to anything with a monthly fee, but does anyone have experience with one of those bike trackers? Ideally it would let me share my location with my partner when I’m loving off alone and maybe detect a crash as well as letting me find my bike if anyone ever decides to gently caress with it. I’m more interested in the first two than the last two. But it’d still be nice to know I have at least some chance of finding my baby if someone takes it. Yeah, I’m already set up to share my GPS location with her through google, but that’s a bit too dependent on Wi-Fi networks and such. I have an iPhone, in case that makes any difference.

I don't have any experience with one intended for motorcycles. But I did have a Garmin 510 bicycle computer about a decade ago that had this feature. Iirc, it still needed to have an active Bluetooth connection to a cell phone with an active data connection, but it had its own GPS. I used to go on longer bicycle rides through the Eastern Washington desert and my wife would worry about me. I figured this feature would put her mind at ease. In reality, she started panic calling me the first time my riding partner had yet another flat and we had to patch it up. All she sees is my GPS stopped dead by the side of the road that doesn't look like a good rest spot. I stopped using it not too long after that lol. Edit. Bonus photo from those bike rides. Admire my aero bars. The Garmin 510 is right there!

If you have an iPhone it's easy to share your location with anyone who has a Mac or other Apple device so you can get in business with that today if everyone has Apple stuff. Settings/location services/share my location then go into their contact and pick share my location there.

Either that or put an AirTag on the bike and add the AirTag to her account. Your iPhone will say you’re being followed but you can dismiss the message and I believe it doesn’t come up again

New helmet. Shiny. Double d ring but that doesn't matter if I never take it off.

I posted this in another thread but check out the specialized angi crash sensor (I stick mine to my helmet). I use it for crash detection, will communicate to whoever you set as your contact via email or text. So as long as you can get a text out it can send coordinates. Doesn’t work way out there but for most places people go it’s good to go. Less than $50 and no monthly anything just download their app. Doesn’t help with the theft thing.

I had all my outfits sewn together and cut down the back with a zipper installed, so I only have to pull on an adult onesie every day. Saves time coordinating shirts and pants and socks and whatnot, but I do have to get completely naked if I need to use a public restroom.

The main limiting factor for my endurance now is that my seat is uncomfortable. After an hour, I start to ache on pressure points inside my thighs and on my sit bones. After two hours, I just don't want to be on the bike anymore. I'm reluctant to shell out the cash for a custom Corbin-type saddle on a bike I don't intend to keep much longer, though. I was thinking of a seat like this: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/saddlemen-gel-channel-tech-seat-honda-cbr250r-2011-2013 Any other options I should consider? Is there another cheap way to add cushioning or better distribute weight?

The bead seats are great as well. I had one on my old goldwing and it really keeps you from getting swamp rear end on hot and humid days

might need to further dadbike the dadbike then. summer swamp rear end is one of the few complaints I have about the goldwing and since the seat is one big piece no one makes a mesh cover that would fit

Is the beaded seat actually good and helpful or is this another “I slip my helmet off without undoing the buckle all the way” thing? Old men seem to like them and honestly, old men are usually right about such things but it just doesn’t compute when I look at them.

They literally just put an airgap between your rear end and the sweaty vinyl, thats all they're doing

I recently swapped the painfully thin seat on my MT-03 for a thicker one from Norton Motorsports; did about 200 miles on it this weekend and experienced zero butt ache. Had to send them my old seat to convert but a new oem one was only like $35 so I didn't have a useless bike in the meantime.

I bought an air cushion from SW Motech on clearance, but I haven't found the courage to use it yet.

I’m thinking of doing this but primarily to get an extra inch of seat to peg distance.

Bead seats like the BeadRider are great for cooling your butt but are not something that makes your seat otherwise more comfortable IME. This might have to do with my Corbin being so stiff, not sure. But adding hard beads on top of that feels downright bony.
