Wrench'n Ride'n

I have been following what kewwig has been doing to his Bandit 1250 via his blog.  http://kewwibike.blogspot.com.au/ . I saw that he had fitted some tyre pressure monitors to his bike. Not those very expensive electronic ones. Some caps that show lowering pressure via a coloured slider. So I thought these would be a good idea. Also a safety item too. Quick and easy to see what your tyre pressure is doing. I bought mine from billc1950 eBay seller . What a great guy to deal with too. Great comms. He even threw in a spare valve cap for free. He is what eBay should be all about. The price of these was $2 each plus about $2 for the postage. This is his blurb for the caps. Brand new Safety Monitoring tire valve stem caps let you eliminate the guesswork when it comes to your vehicle's tire pressure.  These quality metal caps fit on any standard size existing tire valve stem.  Visually alerts you when the tire pressure is low to help avoid premature tire wear or blowouts ...

I bought a Nolan N84 helmet today from Bikebiz this arvo. A few years back I had an early model flip front Nolan and wore it to death. It was so comfy. So thought I would try the non flip Nolan. I have tried on a few different brands of full face and the Nolan felt the best. Feels just a bit heavier than my open face. I love the sun visor. I know it will scratch the main visor but I can live with that as I won’t have to wear my clip on sunnies on my glasses now. The fit around the crown of my head is nice and snug just like my old Nolan. The air vents work really well. I love the anti-fog nose bit. My glasses so far have not fogged up. It is a bit noisy but no where near as much as my open face. Heaps quieter than flip front helmets I have worn. The cheek pads will take some getting used to as they really push into my cheeks. I look like I have chipmunk cheeks. You know when they have nuts in their mouth and their cheeks puff out. Mine puff out at the top. Time and lots of kilometres ...
