Hoo-Fookin'-Rahh!!


Anyway, i have tested the Scott Voltage OTG goggles, Alpinestars Jet motocross gloves, tank bag and Scott-Oiler vSystem... Overall, they work really great for me..

Scott Voltage OTG goggles (300 km of mileage tested)

Pros: 
- Works great with my glasses on
- fits perfectly in Arai Tour Cross II
- fits nicely on my face without any empty gap and not pressing too hard on my cheeks
- No fog at all, even at traffic jam
- Useful in rain, no fog built-up and water does not stay on the lens
- Definitely works very well at night time!!

Cons:
- It limits my 'side' vision.. hence, i need to turn my head more to ensure no vehicles beside me
- If i ride more than 140 km/h, wind starts to press my lips and eventually air starts to enter the tiny mesh sponges, which penetrates to my eyes
- Wind noise
- Uncomfortable ride in heavy rain as rain drops hit my nose & lips at 140 km/h... now that's fookin' painful!


Alpinestars Jet motocross gloves (300 km of mileage tested)

Pros:
- super lightweight comparing with leather gloves
- thin fingertips surface makes it easy to feel objects, i.e. money, iPod, etc etc
- feels cool, even at traffic jam
- easy to dry-off when wet after heavy rain

Cons:
- less protection than leather gloves
- feels thumper vibration more as the palm surface is thin

Scott-Oiler vSystem (1,500 km of mileage tested)

Pros:
- Chain is always lubricated
- Save time and space for not using & carrying chain lubricant container
- Lasts 5,000 km per re-filled tube container








Tank bag (1,500 km of mileage tested)

Pros:
- Waterproof 'with rain cover', tested in 350 km of heavy tropical thunderstorm
- Amazingly useful to keep road maps, mobile phones, wallet, passport, iPod, etc etc
- Huge magnets, hence tank bag stays tight and securely upright
- Medium-Small size
- will be my Olympus E-P1 camera bag
- Looks fookin' great on KLR 650 Redbull Dakar


HooRahh!!

Accessories: Scott Voltage OTG Goggles + Alpinestars JET Gloves

Heyya...

Most of you who have been following me on Facebook surely know i've gone to Singapore for Great Singapore Sale during the recent weekend..

Anyway, i bought Scott Voltage OTG goggles and Alpinestars JET motocross gloves..

Initially, i have once ordered the Scott Voltage OTG goggles from the US but it costed too expensive due to shipping cost (USD 96.00).. therefore i bought a pair in Singapore and it costs RM 110.00, bloody cheap!! It was on sale and they had only Canary Yellow colour, which is the only colour that suits with my bike and i can fookin' show-off to people that i've got a pair of great goggles! Oooweee!! ;-)

Once i reached home, i tested the goggles on my Arai Tour Cross II helmet with glasses on... the goggle fits very well and after 1 hour wearing it with no air ventilation, it does NOT develop any fog on the Scott lens and also my glasses.. Also, i don't have to remove the Arai's tinted visor lid... 

The main reasons why i bought the Scott Voltage OTG (Over The Glass) are because I wear glasses and I always ride in the dark (as early as 3 o'clock in the morning) & thus I always have to use clear visor.. but when it is dawn, i have to change the clear visor to dark visor... the interchange takes ages and Goggles look very Cool with motocross helmet! With the Scott OTG goggles, i would wear them in the dark and take them off when i need to use the tinted dark visor... ;-P

Also, i bought a pair of Alpinestars JET gloves since my Dainese leather gloves are torn apart... The JET gloves are made of synthetic materials, which are light weight and easy to dry off when it gets wet/soaked in rain.. and it costs RM 100.00 for a pair... the finger tips are quite thin which may help me to 'feel' on my finger tips, i.e. money notes, road maps, camera, helmet chin strap, etc without taking them off...

I shall test the Goggles and Gloves performances tomorrow for at least 200 km ride.. i'm hoping if there could be raining too.. ;-)

Therefore, back to the checklist which i made back in December 2009, i have got the Acerbis Handguards, Scott-Oiler and Scott Voltage OTG goggles... You may find the previous story (December 2009) here: Scott-Oiler, Scott Voltage OTG Goggles and Acerbis Handguards

HooRahh!!
