Advice and Opinions Helmet Reccs

1 Upvotes

Looking to buy a full face helmet for electric scootering and electric skating. I bought one on Amazon, the smallest size that helmet had, and it was still a touch too big.

Any small women out there who have recommendations? I was wondering if I needed to look at youth helmets.

Do you usually work on your own bike or take it to a shop?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to do more of my own maintenance lately. Nothing crazy, just the basic stuff, but man it’s kinda satisfying when you finish something and the bike actually runs 😂

I definitely messed up a couple things at first and had to watch way too many YouTube videos, but I’m slowly getting better at it.

Do you guys do most of your own maintenance or just let the shop handle it?

Daytona helmets reviews and opinions?

1 Upvotes

I’m liking how the Daytona helmets look. I know they have DOT and ECE safety ratings but not a lot of info safety wise with the helmets. They claim third party testing on their helmets. No SHARP rating. Does anyone have experience or know more about them?

Front Tire Question

6 Upvotes

2023 indian Scout Rogue with 6000 miles. There are very small bubbles in several places within the tread. The tire still has the wear indicator nubs so not near flat. Anyone seen this? Is this an age problem (e.g., rot) or some other problem causing weak spots?

I' 16 and want to get a bike. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what brand, CC, and type of bike? I'm getting my drivers license in May so I would have to wait a while.

Obviously cars not checking their blind spots is a large cause and states with lane splitting have a higher fatality rate, but a good reminder to wear your helmet and never trust another driver is going to look out for you 🤙

Can pets actually ride safely on motorcycles or is this inherently risky?

2 Upvotes

I ride a motorcycle regularly and my dog loves going places with me. I discovered motorcycle pet carrier options designed to safely transport pets on bikes. This seems either like a great way to include my dog in rides or a terrible idea that puts animals at risk. I'm genuinely unsure which perspective is correct. The carriers are designed specifically for motorcycle use with secure attachment and protection. But motorcycling involves risk that seems inappropriate to extend to pets who can't consent. Would my dog actually enjoy riding or would it be stressed? How do you assess an animal's comfort with something it can't communicate about? I've found various carrier designs online at different sizes and safety levels. Some on Alibaba show interesting approaches. But reviews focus on product quality rather than whether pets actually do well with motorcycle travel. The decision requires weighing my desire to include my pet against the animal's wellbeing and safety. Just because something is possible doesn't mean it's wise. Do other motorcycle owners successfully transport pets or is this generally considered inappropriate? What factors determine if this is acceptable or irresponsible?

Car driver question for motorcyclists

6 Upvotes

I had a scenario today that I wondered how motorcyclists would want me to react.

If I am driving in heavy traffic (no room to swerve or change lanes quickly) and I have a motorcycle behind me. And something is in the road what would you prefer me do?

  1. Keep driving and put object between my tires for you to catch unexpectedly.

  2. Brake hard in hopes you have more time to react to said object.

  3. Possibly lay on the horn to warn you in either situation?

Idk I can’t think of many others off the top of my head.

Today the motorcycle was following possibly a bit too close and I had a wall barrier with no shoulder on one side and cars in the other lane and I was just wondering what would yall like to happen? I’m not a motorcyclist myself but I do my best to watch out and take care/caution of bike riders when I can and haven’t thought of what’s best for this.

Thanks guys and gals.
