2013 Gear Preview: Fly Valor Neck Brace

Yesterday, we had a visit from our local Fly Racing rep who brought in the new Valor MX neck brace!

It's a new year, so new gear is a given and we are seeing new stuff nearly everyday.  This time around, we got our hands on the new hybrid neck brace from Fly Racing, the Valor.

Last year's Leatt-built brace, the Zenith was also a hybrid, mixing the front table from the Adventure GPX series with the adjustable rear of the Club GPX.  The Valor is taking the same approach but with the front table inspired by the Leatt Race, having a more aggressive and steep angle which should allow more freedom of movement when wearing an MX helmet.  The front is now split but non-adjustable whereas the rear is adjustable for table height.

The Fly Racing Valor neck brace comes in at $323 and is available now at MotorcycleCloseouts.com

It's sunny and snowing on this Sunday here at work so while I'm waiting for videos to render I looked up sound of GOD on Youtube.  It came up with the 1967 Honda RC181.  

As a fan of motors, the RC series has always got me going, but the sound.. 

Oh my god, the sound..

Anyway, enjoy the clip!

2013 Gear Preview: Shoei GT-Air Motorcycle Helmet

That's what you get with the new for 2013 Shoei GT-Air.   

John dropped by the shop to show off some of the new 2013 designs by Shoei including the GT-Air full face helmet and the J-Cruise 3/4 helmet.

Both helmets share many features with the now famous Shoei Neotec helmet:

Internal sunshield

AIM shell construction

3 shell sizes

Integrated shell spoiler

Quiet design

QR-N Base Plate system

CNS-1 shield

removable liner system

Multi-Piece EPS liner

Chin curtain

Breath Guard

Pinlock Anti-Fog System

Like other Shoei helmets, the GT-Air comes with a 5-year warranty and should be available super soon at MotorcycleCloseouts.com

The other new for 2013 lid John showed up with was the J-Cruise which would be like taking a Neotec and pulling off the modular chin-bar.  This 3/4 helmet still shares a lot of the features of the Neotec such as the integrated sunshield, liner, EPS system and AIM shell construction but also has a number of features that are unique, including 4 shell sizes and a CJ-2 Shield.

Both helmets should be available soon at MotorcycleCloseouts.com! To see our slideshow of the helmets, check it out below!

Holiday Helpers

Over the past few days, we asked some of the Motorcycle Closeouts employees and friends of the shop here in Smithville to tell us what they would like for Christmas.  The idea was that if anyone was needing help deciding what to buy as gifts for the holiday, then the short vids could offer some inspiration...

Well, that was the idea...

Instead, what we got was a number of quick glimpses into the quirky personalities that pepper the shop and the hilarity that ensued.  

Enjoy!

Crashed Alpinestars Suit Review

It's not normal for there to be a review on crashed gear as it is usually...  Well, crashed.  However, Neeves from MCN is doing just that after a smash on his race bike at Brands Hatch (UK). If you feel the need to come off as easy as Neeves, be sure to check out our Alpinestars suits at Motorcycle Closeouts!
