Motorcycle jeans test

Motorcycle jeans destruction test

This video is a comparison of two types of motorcycle jeans, not a scientific or repeatable test. An actual motorcycle accident would submit the jeans to more energy in a much shorter time. This video simply compares two pair of motorcycle jeans. . . fully Kevlar and partially Kevlar lined. I’d go for the better quality pair, but what other people decide to do is entirely up to them.

Not really a fair comparison since an actual motorcycle accident won’t be like the scenario you set up. (more…)

Are Augmented Reality helmets safe?

Research has long since shown that Heads Up Display (HUD), when properly implemented, can vastly improve the safety and situational awareness of drivers.

SKULLY’s patented HUD solution allows you to keep your focus on the road ahead while maximizing 360 degree situational awareness. This means you can see more and react quicker, potentially avoiding danger before an accident occurs. (more…)

San Diego Gas Lamp Car Show

Downtown San Diego Gas Lamp Car Show 

San Diego Gas Lamp Car Show

Annual auto hot rod show in San Diego California. Many more high-end cars displayed in this downtown San Diego show.

This is an annual auto show that occurs on Fifth Avenue just South of market. In the San Diego gaslamp Quarter. In 2014, there were just a couple of motorcycles in the entire show.

So, if you’re just into custom motorcycles, this is not the San Diego show for you. But, if you like to view high-end luxury new and historic vehicles. This is a great show to attend. (more…)

Santee California Motorcycle Hot Rod Show

Motorcycle Hot Rod Show – Santee California

San Diego County area hot rod and motorcycle show.

Santee California is just east of San Diego.

This is one of the many hot rod/ motorcycle shows in San Diego County.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few shows in San Diego County that’s judged by the spectators. Personally, I found that these shows are not as fair as those being judged by professional judges who are in the auto or motorcycle industry. (more…)
