Shoei RJ Air Platinum R Open-face Helmet - 3X-Large/Matte Black Review

Shoei RJ Air Platinum R Open-face Helmet - 3X-Large/Matte BlackI have been riding quite a few years and have owned quite a few different helmets over that time.I am still looking for that perfect helmet, but will likely never find it.This one is close.It meets all of my (possibly unrealistic) requirements except one.

I have only had this helmet for about two weeks, but during that time I have logged about 1200 miles, all with this helmet on my head.

It is the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn, and very lightweight.Even at interstate speeds it contributes very little to fatigue from wind resistance compared to other helmets I have owned.

It is the first helmet I have ever owned where I could actually FEEL air moving through the helmet over my head.With the vents open front and rear it did a better job keeping my head cool than any other helmet I have owned.Keep in mind this is relative to wearing anything that encloses your head in 90 degree direct sunlight.It got warm... but I did not soak the interior of the helmet or have a waterfall to dodge when I took it off after several hours on the road.

There is PLENTY of room inside for your intercom gear AND your ears and I LOVE the channel down the temples to allow you to get your sunglasses on and off easily.

This helmet was obviously designed by people who ride more than across town or bar to bar.

My only complaint?The outer shell on my XL is VERY large!It is a nice looking helmet, but HUGE!For those of you who remember the old Flintstones cartoons... I feel like the Great Gazoo without the antenna.

So, how in the world would you be able to make a helmet that is comfortable, has plenty of room for air flow, sunglasses, audio gear, and your ears and still keep the shell only a little bigger than your head?Magic goober dust maybe?

Summary - if you want an open face helmet and are more concerned with comfort and function than your image or a fashion statement, this is the best I have ever tried.It ain't ugly... it's just BIG!

I am going to go ahead and replace my second helmet with one of these in a Large.Hopefully we won't be mistaken for a couple of hot air balloons traveling too close to the ground.

HJC CL-33 MOTORCYCLE HELMET BLACK M MEDIUM Review

HJC CL-33 MOTORCYCLE HELMET BLACK M MEDIUMBought this to complement my skull cap.Needed something to protect me from the stuff flying on the road on my way to work.Anyway...
The helmet feels good, feels nicely made.The vents open easily and allow some flow through the helmet.The face shield is great optically.I only notice a slight distortion when looking out the sides.I also have a big nose and chin, which have hit other shields, but not this one.Only con I have is that the shield doesn't always feel like its down all the way and I keep trying to push it further than it wants to go.Other than that, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a helmet to protect their face without having to get a full helmet.

BlinX Wheel Illumination: Purple Review

BlinX Wheel Illumination: PurpleWhen I peeled off the protective surface to access the "3M VHB industrial tape" what it revealed has the sticking power of a post-it. (Also a 3M innovation - was there a factory mix-up?)

I don't know if the solvent had evaporated or what. But that ain't sticking to anything. (I had imagined getting them on my bike wheels or body, which has a similar surface to any pimped out blingy wheels that I can visualize.)

Still, a swell idea. Quite bright. You do have to turn 'em on/off manually, but no biggie. Now I just need to find the right way to attach them to my bike.

Product Description:
BlinX is the hottest wheel accessory since chrome plating. You choose the color(s), placement and quantity for a look as unique as you are. BlinX patented LED's are a cinch to install on any wheel and produce eye popping look, whether you're cruising, drifting or chilling at a car how.Each BlinX package includes 4 Chrome plated BlinX with ultra bright flashing LED?s, batteries pre-installed and a alcohol cleaning pad for quick & easy installation.ÿBlinX LED?s use 3M VHB (Very High Bond) mounting adhesive to ensure maximum grip under all conditions. We recommend using a minimum of 2 (or more) packages of BlinX. This will give you a total of 8 lights (2 per wheel).Using 2 or more lights per wheel will produce a amazing light show on wheels! NOTE: Purple LED?s operate in a ultra violet light spectrum and do not appear as bright to the human eye as other LED lights. Under very low light conditions the BlinX Purple LEDs look awesome, almost like a Black Light on your wheels. Under medium lighting the Purple is not as noticeable, and has more of a subtle glow.

Tire Minder Valve Stem Tire Pressure Guages - 36psi Review

Tire Minder Valve Stem Tire Pressure Guages - 36psiI brought a set of valve stem tire pressure guages hoping that I don't have to check the tire pressure again.

The pressure gauge is made three parts:
- A metal valve stem tire cap that thread to the valve stem.
- A clear see through plastic cap on top of the metal cap.
- A color stick (yellow, green, or red) inside the plastic cap that sticks out when tire pressure is low.

Out of the box, the color stick indicator is visible since there is no pressure exerts on it. When it it putting on the value stem on the tire, the stick will be invisible if the pressure is above the designed psi.

So you don't have to bend down and check the tire pressure again by just walking around the car and see if any of the gauge has color stick visible on it. If it is, you need to add more air to the tire.

You can buy the Valve Stem Tire Pressure Guages at 32, 36psi.

However, after just one day of use, out of four gauges, one has its plastic cap and yellow stick falling off and the other has its yellow stick comming out even thought the pressure is correct. So DOA at 50%.That is totally unacceptable for a simple device like this.

Quik-Stik Tire Changer (colors may vary) Review

Quik-Stik Tire ChangerI don't like other bicycle tire irons compared to this one.

They're too short.They break.

This one makes it easy to install a brand new tire that needs some brute force to stretch it on to the rim.

It's also devoid of any pointed edge so I don't worry about it pinching or puncturing my inner tube.

I also think it's kinder to my rims.

Yeah, it doesn't have the spoke holder that other irons have, but you quickly learn with this tool, they're unnecessary.
