Shoei GT-Air 2 review

Recently had a helmet discussion with a colleague of mine who just started riding. He made the mistake of getting a helmet online without going to the physical shop to personally try on the helmet to get the right sizing. Long story short, he bought two helmets which were in the wrong sizes. Told my friend about the discussion and the next thing I knew she was looking at full face helmets and comparisons online and one name always came up on top: Shoei GT-Air 2. We came across the new Shoei 2020 Graphics and this particular graphics caught our attention.


When I first saw the design it reminded me of Wolverine. Mind you I do not mean the modern Wolverine uniform which we see in the X-Men movies but his uniform from the 1990's:

Ride Report #2: Group ride to Grik

Was recently invited to join a group ride to Grik by a LYN member. He sent me the plan and route and I told him I would be the trip to Grik. This would be the maiden trip for the Vulcan out of Penang. To be honest I could not sleep the night before either from the excitement or over-thinking.

Plan of the trip. 2 hr and 53 mins from our starting point to our destination. A total of 6 hours riding time including return trip

On the day itseld, I packed all the necessary items and got ready to leave at 7:10am. It was drizzling and was praying that the weather stays clear and dry for the entire trip.

TCX Roadster 2

Since I had to go to Hot Bikes to try the TCX shoes, my friend decided to tag along. After looking for some with my size, I managed to get the TCX Mood GTX. I love the look of the Roadster 2 but it is a shame that they sold my size a few days ago. Since my friend likes the design of the Roadster 2 and they have it in her size, she tried it on, felt comfortable and now she has finally acquired the last motorcycle protective gear after 5 years of hunting.
