Review - Fly Racing Maverik ATV Boots.

Review by +Speed Triple & R1200GS over on the World Motorcycle Community on Google+

Two out of five stars

I was looking for a set of "dual sport" boots that did not break the bank and were of decent quality. I decided on these Fly Racing Maverik boots and I was surprised at the high quality, comfort and performance for a measly 85 dollars or so.

I got them on sale and with free shipping so I was self-congratulatory until +Donald Mittelstaedt asked me about their water resistant capabilities. Errrr... oops. I forgot about that. I assured myself that surely these boots are waterproof to a degree. They have that rubber flappy thing and everything! Later that day I stepped into the bath with one of the boots and started to run the water. As soon as the water was an inch or so high I felt moisture then a torrent. I posted later that they had failed the test however I was hopeful that they would at least keep my feet dry in a rainy ride.  Yesterday a storm blew into the Dallas area and I drove home in a light rain. My commute is about 25 miles and in traffic yesterday it took about 35-40 minutes. I felt dampness on my toes in about 15 minutes and when I got home and took the boots off my socks were fairly damp.

So... in conclusion if you want a cheap comfortable boot that looks good and seems to offer good protection and never expect to ride in the rain or step in a puddle then these boots are for you. In hind sight these boots do not meet my needs and I should not have purchased them. Ah well. Lesson learned.   I think any motocross boot should be somewhat water resistant. I give these boots 2 out of 5 stars.

Drift HD Ghost

Had my first outing with the camera yesterday, just a quick run to the shops for some cold and flu remedies. Not feeling very well at all, but it was so sunny I just had to get the ‘bike out. All I wanted to do was hide under the duvet all day.

There are lots of clips on YouTube reviewing the camera, probably isn’t much I can add to them. I like the size and shape of the camera, lends itself better to helmet cam use than something like a GoPro. I particularly like the fact that you can rotate the lens, so no matter which way you orientate the camera, you can always get the picture the right way up. The remote is great too, no fiddling around with the camera trying to stop and start it with your gloves on. The remote makes this a very simple operation. The mounts are nice and secure, although the fit between the universal clip (which fixes to the base of the camera) and the helmet mount could be a bit more snug. I found it rattled just a little, so added a piece of thin sticky pad under the clip to stop it.

I’ve used Adobe’s Premiere 9 to process the video and upload to YouTube. It think it converts it into an .flv file before uploading. I’m pretty sure the process degrades the quality of the video in comparison to the original file. If anyone has version 11, I’d like to know if you think it’s worth the upgrade.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going back to bed…

TT Legends - Starts On ITV4 UK Monday 4th Feb 2013

TT Legends is an eight-part series which will debut on ITV4 at 8.30pm on Monday 4th February, 2013.

Grand Prix Racer, a one off documentary about the 2012 IoM TT, will air on ITV4 Tuesday 5th February at 8pm.

Arai Chaser V

Hi guys, thought I would have a go at posting on a blog to show off my new lid.

After trying on many different makes and models I decided on an Arai Chaser V. It came down to a choice between the Arai, a Shoei XR-1100 or a HJC RPHA-10. Ultimately it was the best fitting helmet for me that helped decide. All 3 have their merits but the Arai fitted my bean head perfectly.

Once that was out of the way, I had to decide on a design. With so many to choose from it proved to be a tough decision to make. Do I wait for a new 2013 design (the Union Jack due out in May was tempting), go for a current design with a bit of colour for a change (the Giugliano Matt looks great), or save a few quid for an older graphic?

This is the one I ended up with, the Strain Silver. Sure, it's not the latest design or anything but I think it looks fantastic. The online shop images don't really do it justice, hopefully these pictures will though. Please note that the Simoncelli 58 on the back doesn't come as standard, that's just my little addition. Have checked with Arai, stickers don't damage the lids.

 
Best of all, because it's an older graphic, the price was great - £299, not bad considering a new 2013 graphic will set you back up to 460 quid. That saved me some cash for the smoked visor, and some toward a new helmet cam - more about that another day.

Cheers!

Turning Full Circle on Google+

Well it's a long time since I wrote anything original on MotoBlogCycle but this is very interesting.  Over on Google+ I've been bringing together as many people and organisations interested in Motorcycling as it's possible to assemble in one place and the results are very impressive.  The MotoCircle is now over 1000 strong and growing all the time.

Come and meet some of the best known Riders and Bloggers as well as hundreds of bikers from around the world who seem to have raced, stunted, ridden and explored most of it.  There are also MotoGP photographers with fantastic shots and help on how you can get the best results from your camera.

You can join in and add your experiences and photos. Talk to people with years of motorcycling experience or just read the interesting Streams that people publish.

All  of the Google Plussers link to their Blogs, YouTube pages, webs and much, much more all integrated seamlessly.

Among those over on Google+ are:

+George Krieger - Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
+Cyril Huze - Cyril Huze Customs
+AMIGOS DE HARLEY DAVIDSON 
+Bike EXIF - Great Bike Photos
+CX Marc Márquez - Moto2 Rider (Official)

+Ben Spies MotoGP Rider

... and many more.


In future I hope that we can persuade some of the MotoCircle Plussers to Hang Out with you.  I'm sure if the demand is there we can get some of them to talk live in Google+ Hangouts. I'm sure if the Muppets and President Obama can use it then a few bikers can hack it!


I hope this helps in your enjoyment of motorcycling in all of its aspects.


Each  MotoCircle contains 500 people, companies and clubs and here are the first two of what I hope will be many:


MotoCircle 500



MotoCircle 1000


If you don't know what Google+ is or you haven't tried it out yet come on over and give it a go and I'm sure you will enjoy the experience.  There are also thousands of people with wide ranges of interest in such areas as photography, technology, science, sport, politics, whatever it is you're interested in all life is here.

La classifica delle 10 moto elettriche migliori al mondo

The best 10 electric bikes in the world.

Mentre ancora in Italia si perde tempo per mettere in regola tutte le infrastrutture necessarie all’avvento dei mezzi elettrici nelle nostre strade, nel mondo continua ad allargarsi la produzione di moto elettriche. Molte sono state prodotte in casa, in un piccolo garage con pochi attrezzi. Altre invece sono passate attraverso un’importante catena di montaggio.

Quella che vi proponiamo oggi è una classifica, stilata da GreenMe, delle 10 moto elettriche migliori prodotte finora in tutto il mondo. Si parte dalla più esclusiva, la Neiman Marcus Mission One, un gioiello da 75′000$, utilizzabile solo in pista e con una velocità di oltre 240 km/h e un’autonomia di 250km. La seconda è la più veloce finora, la Killa Cycle, prodotta in Colorado da una ragazza appassionata, che ha raggiunto la velocità di 285 km/h.

Casey Stoner (Repsol Honda RC212V) scored his second MotoGP victory on a Honda in today’s French Grand Prix to move into second place in the World Championship point standings. Team-mate Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda RC212V) scored a fine second-place finish to secure a brilliant one-two for Repsol Honda.

But what could have been a perfect day for the team was spoiled by a mid-race incident, which saw the luckless Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) crash and break a collarbone after tangling with Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini RC212V). Simoncelli was subsequently punished with a ride-through penalty that demoted him from second place to fifth.

Rossi - Stoner Collision

by Clykins021on April 6th, 2011 at 4:54 pm

Top level sport needs drama and that is exactly what we got on the eighth lap of the Spanish Grand Prix. For the first time in Rossi’s brief Ducati career, it seemed the bike was actually working to his liking. A podium or even a victory seemed possible, a bet that no one in the paddock would have taken after Saturday’s qualifying practice. As he went down the pit straight, Rossi tried to brake as late as possible, something that had never seemed too difficult for him while riding his ex-lover, the Yamaha M1.
