Motorcycle Gear Detroit

July 29, 2010 11:10 pm | STREET BIKE PRO

what should i be getting as my first car? would a manual be ok?

I started driving last year I drove an automatic Toyota Camry now I’m thinking about buying a new car as I head off to college. My college is only 5 minutes away from where I live; I live in the Detroit area.
i was thinking about a manual ford focus zx3 or the zx5. I need to convince my parents that I’ll be fine once I drive a manual for a few months.

I know the concept of shifting gears I rode plenty of motorcycles but I want to know the risks of driving a manual and how long does it usually take to become really good at driving a car manually.
also, does it cost more or less to insure a manual car over an automatic ?

if you drive it every day, and you don’t learn the wrong way right off the bat. then you’ll be good to go after a week or so. Some people are faster some are slower. It’s good that you started on an auto, that way you know the rules of the road and get comfortable driving before you add complexity. I think your ready for a manual. No difference on insurance.

ICON Alliance SSR Represent Full-Face Motorcycle Helmet  DETROIT MD


ICON Alliance SSR Represent Full-Face Motorcycle Helmet DETROIT MD


$180


The Alliance SSR Represent is a serious bit of kit. First of all, it features a snarling possessed crop eared mauler of a canine. Not many people are stepping up to the dog plate given the current social climate. But if Icon is gonna come, than they’re gonna come correct. If the graphics weren’t enough, the Supervents on the Represent can be adorned with an optional adhesive backed metal stud kit. On the chain or off, a spiked-up collar goes a long way projecting that certain image. Finally, and perhaps Icon’s greatest genius, is the choice of seven unique chin bar graphics (NorCal, SoCal, Detroit, Philly, New York, Dirty South, or Icon) to rep your favorite hood. Truly a lid that’s down for the set. And to all the haters and naysayers, Icon does not support or condone any type of dog fighting. Never have, never will. Don’t get it twisted. The Alliance SSR Represent molded twin channel Supervent system consist of strategically placed intakes, vents, air channels, and exhaust ports all designed to keep your head cool. Two independent intake and exhaust ports located fore and aft are controlled via individual on/off switches to ensure total control over airflow in the helmet. When activated, air is forced directly into the helmet, channeled between the comfort liner and protective EPS, and expelled through the rear exhaust ports. A chin intake routes cool air onto the inner shield to help reduce fogging, while secondary breath exhaust ports located inside the chin bar allow warm air to escape. Comfort is key in any helmet, and the Alliance SSR doesn’t skimp. The comfort liner is composed of a tri-density foam compound that comfortably cradles the head within the shell structure. The top layer of the comfort liner is composed of Icon’s proprietary moisture-wicking HydraDry material. HydraDry rapidly transports moisture (sweat) away from the head providing increased cooling. The comfort liner is completely removable to allow for washing. Precision optics by Icon provide you with a clear undistorted line of sight. This is accomplished with a 3-dimensional shield molding process that provides true optical clarity not available in typical flat shields. A stout ABS Quick Change ratchet system allows you to easily swap to a wide variety of available tinted shields. The scratch-resistant fog-free coating keeps you focused on what’s ahead while exceeding Vehicle Safety Commission Regulations (VESC-8) and/or ECE safety regulations. Features and Benefits Injection molded polycarbonate shell was designed for robust performance without undue weight Dual density EPS protective liner helps provide superior impact absorption capabilities Wind tunnel tested and refined Imported Each helmet includes a 10-pack of metal adhesive backed Supervent studs/spikes All-world standard, meets or exceeds the following: DOT FMVSS 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (Europe), SAI AS1698 (Australia) & SG (Japan) safety and testing standards
