    Adventure helmets......just an image thing?

    peaks on a helmet have nothing to do with glare, they were invented to stop stones and mud hitting you straight in the face at the start of an offroad/mx race. still today you can see riders tilt there head down as the gate drops. you would overheat quickly in a full face offroad,lack of airflow.

    Opinion on BMW F650 CS Scarver

    so a little bit confused here, are you saying you actually bought those terribly worn out sprockets or are you messing with us?. that rear sprocket is finished, do not put that on a bike.

    Adventure bike difference from 1973 to 2016.

    old one looks so much better made, if you didnt tell me that that straight one was from a husky i would have guessed it was from a chinese scooter, they also use a straight piece of stee/alloy with holes drilled/punched through. in fact the husky one doesnt really look like an engineering...
