Safety gear

I have been asked so many times how come my riding gear fits me perfectly, especially the pants, my answer was: i lost a good chunk of my butt in an accident so i have a tiny butt and i workout daily to mantain my 32 waist which goes perfect with my 178cm hight..those who doesn’t know me will think i look like a model, i say yes i do look like one, a model that has scars all over, and believe me i am a nightmare when naked..my scares start shining as soon as i roll up my sleeves ;-).

A lot of my friends are between 170-178cm tall and blessed with a Rice ass and a Coke belly, too lazy to workout, and can’t find riding gear that fits without the need of alteration, and because its almost impossible to alter a riding pants they end up wearing normal pants over knee and hip protection.

I did some googling and found some brands that do have pants that with short length…here are some Read more

183bhp at the wheel !!!

December 9, 2009 by · 7 Comments
 

“MCN uncovered a secret dyno test result sheet of a pre-production S1000RR in April which made 182bhp at the tyre, and 200bhp at the crank.

At the time there was internal concern at BMW over releasing a 200bhp claimed figure – top brass were concerned over sparking political controversy by releasing a 200bhp road bike.

The new figure proves that BMW has understated the true power of the engine.

The 183bhp, EEC-corrected figure is a full 13bhp more than a Kawasaki ZX-10R MCN has tested on the same dynamometer – and Kawasaki press bikes are notorious for making more power than customer bikes.

The current class-leading Yamaha YZF-R1 makes 155bhp – 28bhp less!”
