Crazy, Hilarious, Driveway From The House I am Staying At In Spain To The Paved Road!
Переглядів 3665 місяців тому
I wanted to make this video to show the route from the house I am staying at whilst in Spain to the paved road, which means that every rideout from here both starts and finishes with a mini adventure! Unfortunately action camera camera footage smooths out the terrain a lot, but take it from me this is not your average driveway!

Is the Ducati Street Fighter V2 the Best Street Fighter For The Road?

You can hardly call a weapon like the 153 HP Ducati Street Fighter V2 a 'toy', but it is the smaller sibling of the awesome full fat V4S version of the Street Fighter brotherhood.

    Hey mate great video. Although there is a big mistake in the way you've explained how these vests work. Let me quickly explain. The Electric vest has a sensor that will trigger the airbag based on a multitude of parameters that are being evaluated by an algorithm. One of this trigger is a MINIMUM SPEED THRESHOLD. Which means, if you are standing still at a red light and you get tailgated, the Electric vest will NOT INFLATE as it requires a minimum speed of 20km/h. That's the reason I chose to go for the mechanical one which suits best when using the vest for commuting. Cheers

    • @bogdanzarnescu6579
      @bogdanzarnescu6579 29 днів тому

      Nope. 18 km/h without the fork sensor. 0 km/h with the fork sensor. The reason you buy the sensor. If someone hits you between 0 and 18 km/h.

    Unlike with upright forks, I think there might be issues with attaching the fork sensor to inverted fork structures. (The Helite fork sensor installation manual video only shows installation on upright forks.) How did you install the fork sensor on your Multistrada? Did you attach it above the fork mudguard to avoid interference? The manual advises against installing it above the fork, so I'm confused.

    On all my bikes, I sort the alignment - checking along the chain, running the wheel to see if it runs true, and using vernier calipers to make sure both adjusters are aligned. Once you have that sorted, chain tension is a breeze - you just turn your adjuster screws one 'flat' at a time, making sure you add/remove the same number of 'flats' on both sides. Perfect tension, and perfect alignment - only time you need to realign is if you have new tyres fitted.

      If you have the new turtle, on their website helite recommends removing the back protector from your jacket and keeping theirs. The reason for this is that their back protector is over the airbag so it better disperses any impact.
