Komine JK-142 Adventure Jacket

Had to take another trip down to Megabike due to a tear of the stitching of my motorcycle pants. The plan was to go down to Megabike, send the pants and get a new one while waiting for the old one to be repaired so I can still go for rides but I ended up with a new jacket instead.

Since I was wearing a larger than normal size, Lai Seng had to do a special order for the pants. The good news is I have first choice of the type of pants from the Komine catalogue and pick which one was compatible with the zip on the jacket. The bad news is I do not know how long it would take for the new pants to arrive due to the Covid-19 virus currently happening (at time of writing).

Givi PLM01 riding mask

Anyone motorcyclists knows that they will be exposed to dust particles, pollen, sand, poor air quality, etc. compared to those in the car. One way to keep most of these things is to get a mask. There are lots of mask options in the market and the cheapest and easier would be the surgical mask. The problem with surgical masks is that it gets hot and starts getting damp then it will need to be replaced. Another option is to get the headwear. I do have the headwear but I am using it as a liner between the helmet and my head as I sweat a lot. This is where the Givi PLM01 riding mask comes in.

Packaging:

 

The mask comes in its own carrying bag which is very useful. According to the front of the bag, the mask is breathable, flexible and most importantly washable as you will sweat in it.

Moto Tachograph Dash Cam

Been riding the bike almost everyday for about a year and there are so many things which I have experienced. Listed here are my personal riding experience on the road:

Good:

• There are still helpful riders on the road who are willing to take some time off their busy schedule to help a stranded biker.
• There are more bikers who are taking motorcycle safety more seriously.
• Some cagers are more tolerant and make way for bikes to lane split.

Bad:

• All road users are getting crazier and crazier every day. They will just cut in front of you as long as there is enough space for them. As for the riders, they will just squeeze themselves in any space at a higher than normal speed.
• Drivers are not paying attention to the road. They are more engrossed with their phone than look out for any dangers on the road.
• They tailgate and are impatient. While waiting at traffic lights and the light just turn green, they will start honking.
• Both riders and drivers will just change lane without looking or signaling. They think they own the road or the road is empty that they can drive/ride however they like.
• Both riders and drivers are deaf and blind. Honking them and highlighting them to let them know that you are there has no effect. They will still come into your lane and act like they did nothing wrong.
• Pedestrian will also just run across the road with no care in the world and some of them even cross the road with their eyes glued on the phone screen.
