Product Review: Flare Isolate Pro Titanium

I have been using the 3M ear plugs for sometime now and while looking for a better earplugs I came across the Flare Isolate. Did a bit more research about it and most of the users are happy with the product. I decided to bite the bullet and asked if anyone else in the group was interested in doing bulk purchase to save on shipping but only one other was interested. After some discussion regarding the final price including shipping I ended up ordering a Isolate Pro Titanium for myself and the Isolate Mini for him.

After waiting for about 8 weeks for delivery, the earplugs finally arrived. It is packaged in a nice resealable plastic bag.

New bike reveal

After test riding the KTM 1190 Adventure a few weeks ago, I decided to try applying a loan for it. About a month later, I got a call from the shop and was informed that the loan was approved for the bike. I headed down to the shop the next day to sign the transfer of ownership and paid the downpayment.

Since everything is done online due to the pandemic after about 2 hours the bike ownership is transferred to me and the next day I went to collect her. Below is a video on the first day I took her home.

KTM 1050/1190 Adventure: First Ride Impression

Since both the 1050 and 1190 Adventure share the same basic chassis design with different functions, horsepower and torque I will combine both the review into one. All functions mentioned here will be referring to the 1050 Adventure unless specified.

Price wise the 1050 is cheaper as it is a CKD and locally assembled. The 1050 was to introduce as a more affordable bike to riders who are interested to wet their feet into the adventure bike world without breaking their bank account. The 1050 comes with a cast rims whereas the 1190 comes with spoke wheels which means the 1050 is more road oriented than the 1190.
