jacket - at nite cold than i wear
glove - up to u, under how sun make ur hand 2 shade...but if fell, protection loh -
the less u wear, the higher chances of u getting injured in the event of an accident.

well just want to find out, where can we buy those riding shoes (not boots), and can double as a black working shoe?
cos i ride to work and wearing my leather shoe is quite difficult for me to enagage gear as the sole of the shoe has a gap, either i rest my shoe on the rest pad and cannot change gear/brake, otherwise i just have to move it forward if i want to do any of the above...
another issue is tt do u pple really grip the tank with ur tighs while riding??
as i tried going at abt 90km/h on a workday am with a windbreaker on, i can feel the swaying of the bike caused by the speed as well as the wind trapped in my wind breaker...
and while riding a road bike, u tend to sit straight, and will this cause greater wind resistance?
-
me like the boots instructors used, but not suitable if u are wearing formal wear in the office...
like the part where u leg kick the gear lever part... additional piece of leather i guess...so tt sho will not wear out so fast -

No t e d d y i die -
the shoe's brand is KING if I am not wrong, the company that I am working in require all production floor workers to wear that, it protects the feet should any heavy metal fall onto the it. That one can be bought at those hardware shop lor. Best is it is water proof lehOriginally posted by j007:well just want to find out, where can we buy those riding shoes (not boots), and can double as a black working shoe?

Last time I just pass, I will grip the tank, but long distance very jia lat, muscle ache sia. Just relax lor, no big deal one if you dun grip your tank.
I experience swayying of the bike also mah, I believe most biker experience it one lor. If ride phantom, i dun sit straight one, hunch back, relax and cruise all the way to my destination. Or else beri tired one -
i go where oso wear bermudas, unless the weather beri cold, i wear jacket n jeans. if onli cold nia i will wear jacket n bermudas..

sunglasses yes, jackets yes, gloves no. Coz my friend they all bought a harley half finger glove for me on my b-day but then hor, I wore it for riding to bugis from woodlands. End up with the part of the fingers that the glove did not cover up numb man......also grip too good until I have problem trying to clutch in lor. Maybe the glove no season. Until now I only wear once, dun dare to wear it again liao.Originally posted by Strife:What about other accessories like gloves and jackets, sunglasses, etc...?

That's why most riding jackets are body-hugging, to reduce wind resistance

Yes -

Are there any back pack for bikes out there? i mean is the normal type of bags we carry on our back but design for riding to carry 1?
-
That time saw one damn cool back pack that can hold ur helmet on the outside. But think only got one piece and sold off already. Anyway, the bag was sold at Motoworld.Originally posted by Strife:Are there any back pack for bikes out there? i mean is the normal type of bags we carry on our back but design for riding to carry 1?
As for gloves, last time I also never wear one, but now I always do. Sometimes it is just a matter of getting used to it. Dun have to get those really hard and rigid racing gloves. There are several models that are soft and comfortable to wear.
As for wearing windbreakers, I would suggest you always zip up all the way. Got a fren who got into an accident last time cos wind was blowing into the jacket and he couldn't see anything through the side mirrors. Or not, get a racing/touring jacket. -
About the bag at motorworld, do u know how much it cost and the brand of the bag? And what is the size of the bag? thanks!
-
I believe the bag is Alpinestars. Costs I am not too sure. You can go there to ask them about it. I only saw it once at the basement, then someone bought it.Originally posted by Strife:About the bag at motorworld, do u know how much it cost and the brand of the bag?

All right, thanks! I check out their website and the design of them are geat. Dunno how much it cost?

Well, guess wouldn't be cheap. Should be well over $50 I guess.
