Riding and Helmets

A motorcyclist's view of the road is very different from a car driver. A small error, or a slight nudge from a car, could literally be the "end of the road" for the motorcyclist.

Now every time I drive in my car, I'm more careful and aware about the motorcyclist that I pass (or passes me). I'm no longer irritated by these pesky drivers or angry at their zooming in and out of lanes or squeezing through our side mirrors. However, I am concerned about those who ride 3 or 4 people on the bike, where the kids are the ones without helmets.

On another note, I finally got a full face helmet. Not a Nolan, but a MHR from Jalan Sentul. Initially wanted to get a matching red full face helmet, but settled for a matte black one coz it looked too good. Its a flip-up full face with double visor. Here are some pics:
















Lastly, I love riding at night, especially after the rain :)

  3. I don't know how heavy is the LS-2, but the MHR is.definitely more expensive. The black one above is 1600g, + or - 50g. It doesn't have a SIRIM sticker, but I'm still using it for my day riding, coz of my newtinted visor and the flip down shades.

    My new silver MHR helmet has a SIRIM sticker, but is heavier at 1700g, and doesn't have the flip down shades. I use it for night riding.
