Schuberth Out. Why, and what’s next?

I loved my Schuberth C3. The quality and materials used were top of the line. It felt so good to touch and look at. Plush. Light weight. Quiet. So what was the issue? It just didn’t fit me right.

West Side Spill

I took a little spill this week. My first. I’ve been thinking about what my first would be like for a while now. I knew it would happen eventually. Lucky for me it went well. And yes, it was my fault.

NoNoise Follow Up

I’ve been using them since the summer and i think they are great. I only bring them along on longer rides, not so much on my commute. My commutes are usually lower speeds and shorter rides. My schuberth keeps it quiet enough. But on longer rides, with higher speeds, these things are great. They feel good after hours of riding.

Here’s a little video from Twisted Throttle on them. Highly recommended.

JMC – A New Tradition ?

Christmas is a great time of year, but for jewish folk like me, its just another night. Either way, i can’t work as everything is closed, so i took this opportunity to get a little camping trip in. It’s early winter, not too cold out yet. I enrolled a few other local jewish buddies, and we had our first JMC. Jewish Motorcycle Christmas.

LED Headlight Replacement

I’m not bright enough on the road. Its becoming more obvious to me this winter as its dark out early, and because my friend Yoshi has an R1200GSA with LED headlight and aux lights, he’s bright as hell on the road and i want that. It feels like a safety issue.

Starting with some research on advrider forums, i found a decently price H7 bulb that looks to be be watertight, at $40. Use “inmate” for a 10% discount code. Both bulbs recommended to me are too big for the housing on my F700GS. Seems to be an issue with all LED replacements of good quality as they need a heat sink.

AdvMonster has a good blog post showing how one of their customers cut out their housing to fit the LED. I did something very similar, but less elegant.
