yeah checking blind spots was annoying. i bought the jacket and helmet at the same time so it could just be a bad combo. ive been looking at some new lids, thought about icon or another kbc, idk, im cheap and dont have any money for it to begin with. at least i have a good one. do you not like icon, or just yours?

well this icon is my 1st helmet (bought the KBC from people my g/f bought her bike from) and its comfortable, little wind noise, not too heavy.........but it has just fallen apart! i ripped the rubber ring off that goes around the bottom of the helmet b/c i got sick and tired of glueing it back on (this was a problem only months after owning it) and the bottom (idk how to explain this well) of the helmet where the padded logo is...is becoming cracked. idk, just seems like i got what i paid for w/ the Icon.

Anyone suggest and cream to stop the chaffing from my shorts when turning around on the seat at high speed in school zones to give the cops the finger ...
Preferably a cream that I can use also use on my neck so that the chin strap on my open face that I cannot do up wont rub .....
I was using a cream on my feet to stop the sandals rubbing , but I fixed that by upgrading to thongs....
I managed 105mph in first gear yesterday ..but I wont be trying that again ..cause all the kids in my street kept getting in my bloody way !!!
friggin road kill makes such a mess !!

mohawk for the helmet, fake nos bottle attached to the rearset, put a ton of wheel weights on the front rim to stop accidental power wheelies in 7th gear(this is a secret gear that only a few know about), and disconnect the front brakes so you don't accidentally stoppie when your slowing down from the 235mph top speed run

Yep, I don't know, I was in 8th gear and had half the county chasing me, so who knows how fast I was going. I passed a Busa on n0s though, so I imagine 250+
