boyfriend wears piss pot on harley road king. love to buy helmet for winter, full face etc... which one is any good? doesnt have to be a h.d. one....
God no.
Things with a harley on them are known generally as muck in the biking world, overpriced and crap.
Here is a list of a few good helmet brands:
Arai,Shoei,Shark,Caberg,Schuberth.
The rule of thumb is the more safety ratings the helmet has the better, its also something you should not skimp on.
Does your boyfriend also wear a bandanna?

Either way, can anybody tell me what the new type of Harley with the low MAT black paint all over is? Keep seeing it and I'm interested.
Hi, actually, I don't live beside the sea. The frame paint quality in particular on current generation BMW's is, tbh, poor. I found the 1200GS atrocious. I know someone who had an R1200C and it nearly melted from rust (all the chrome stuff), and BMW replaced it all under warranty. Which is fine, but it doesn't take away from the fact they shouldn't do that in the first place. It's not exactly a €1500 bike.........Panel paint is fine. Cycle parts, e.g. brake rotors and their bolts etc are poor as well. I have a (much) old(-er) Suzuki that hasn't rusted in those areas.
The H-D isn't perfect, believe me, but it's worked out well so far, maintenance wise, reliability-wise, and seem's to suit my riding style better. It's not a garage queen, and I use it every day, winter and summer, and wash it........every few month's.
You can get several H-D's in the matt black now: the Nightrain is one, iirc, so it could be anything from an 883, 1200 or 1450/1550.Ode To The Motorist

None, thank god. Wouldn't fancy trying to keep the doors open in this climate ! Mind you, I used to work in the bike trade in the UK, and was always drawn to Suzuki's myself.goldie fish wrote: »Which H-D dealers do you work in?:D
Nothing wrong with doing that: no comparison really. The 883 is, really, really basic. Looks nice, does the job, and as quick as a.......125 ! Not bad value if you want a H-D, and the Big Twin's are just ott, money-wise. Look nice, too. The Z, gosh, how different could you get ? What sort of price are those, these days ?? I'd love to get a jap bike again, for variety - it's been a while.Cuddlesworth wrote: »That's it, see one everyday on the way into work. Its a nice looking bike. Looked at the price. Think I'm just going to pick up a new z1000 instead.
sorry me, went a bit ott myself......:o........true story: I was selling my car a while ago, and two guys came to see it, and arrived on their bikes. One, on an early 90's Pan, and the other on an 08 R12GS. So we chit-chatted about bikes, and the GS owner told me he was selling it: he said he'd never own a BeeEmm outside of warranty. As-is, it had already had numerous things fixed, including 1 (or was it 2 ??Sorry for going OT. Maybe they did a Toyota and expanded too quickly or did what Merc did in the late 90s and decided they where over engineering their bikes. But I've seen loads articles where BMW have been slated for reliability and QC on all their recent bikes.

The near-20-yr old Pan hasn't had a spanner laid on it yet.
