Richa Hammer Jean Review from Visor Down

I'VE BEEN meaning to write about these Kevlar lined and armoured Richa Hammer jeans for a while, but have been using them so much that until now, I’ve been reluctant to stop using them off for closer inspection while I write about them.

That’s testament to how good they are, and how comfortable they are too. They’re made of denim that, to my fingertips, feels like it’s good quality. The quality of the finish is similarly impressive with neat, tidy stitching, a good quality YKK zip, plus a consistent rich dark blue colour that hasn’t faded in the wash.

Once on, they feel like a normal pair of jeans, although the cut feels a bit less tailored than what you'd get with from Levis or similar. Having said that, they're good to wear all day long without any problems and thanks to the absence of stitching across the knees that usually indicates armour, it’s not obvious these are designed for riding in.

You’ve got to turn them inside out to get a good look at what protection is on offer and where it is. There’s abrasive-resistant Kevlar fibre material across the arse area (I think that’s the medical term) and over the knees. It’s all soft and comfortable and compared to a regular set of jeans, the only difference in how these feel is that they’re a little thicker in places.

Additional protection at the knees comes courtesy of the removable, shaped knee armour, which comes supplied. Inserting is as easy as popping it round a few loops (four for each knee) and the soft pads sits comfortably in place while riding and walking about, without making it look like you’ve got gigantism of the knees.

Although the knee armour is appreciated, it’s can be irritating because the Cordura-type material that attaches it to the jeans doesn’t have a soft finish; it's scratchy and sometimes rubs against the skin. For this reason, I mostly wear these with the knee armour left at home, although I suppose I could stuff it down the crotch instead of those socks I always use.

There are pockets at the sides for hip armour, which doesn’t come supplied.

They easily fit over all my boots as well.

For all-day long comfort, more protection than standard denim, and a competitive price £79.99, I'm impressed.

Another victory for 2015 Moto2 champion Johann Zarco in Malaysia

Furygan’s Johann Zarco took his eighth win, and 14th podium, of the season at the 17th round of the Moto2 championship at Sepang, Malaysia. The newly crowned 2015 champion, started the weekend strong by setting the fastest ever Moto2 lap during FP3, smashing Pol Espargaro’s lap record from 2012.
The Frenchman continued this form with a race-long battle against Thomas Luthi, waiting until the last lap to make the move that saw Zarco equal Marc Marquez (2012) and Tito Rabat’s (2014) record of 14 podiums in an intermediate season.
Sam Lowes was running well in seventh but struggled with what appeared to be technical issues. The Brit dropped down the running order before making a late comeback to finish 13th. Thitipong Warokorn finished the day in 27th place. Tito Rabat opted to miss the Malaysian grand prix to focus on the healing of his broken radius.
Meanwhile in a MotoGP race that was dominated by controversy after an incident with Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez, Furygan-supported Mike De Meglio came home in 18th.
In Moto3 Jules Danilo had a great start, moving from 28th on the grid to just inside the top-20 in the first lap and a half. The Italian-born Frenchman steadily made his way through the field to finish the race just outside the top-ten in 11th.

The final World Supersport round of the 2015 season took place under the floodlights of Losail, Qatar. After setting the fastest lap in Friday’s practice sessions (just one second shy of the lap record) and running at the front of the field in the early part of the race, Lucas Mahias was forced to settle for fourth place.
The MCE British Superbike Championship came to its conclusion with a triple-header at Brands Hatch, where Lee Jackson took a superb fifth place in race one. Jackson followed this with sixth place in race two and looked set to have another good result in the third race but was unfortunately knocked off his bike resulting in a DNF.
Danny Buchan had another strong weekend and came away from the three races with eighth, ninth and seventh places respectively. Robbin Harms continued his racing return finishing in the top twenty in races one and three (18th and 15th). Harms was unfortunate to receive a DNF in race two.
In the Motorpoint British Supersport category Kyle Ryde finished the 2015 season as championship runner-up with two results that saw him finish just outside of the podium (fifth & fourth).
Strong performances from Furygan riders in the Superstock 1000 and 600 categories saw Adam Jenkinson on the Superstock 1000 podium with a third place, and take fifth place in the championship, while Jordan Weaving finished the final Superstock 600 race in fifth.
Next weekend (23-25 October) the MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 paddock will head to Sepang, Malaysia for the penultimate round of the 2015 season.

Julien Da Costa continued to ride in the place of Honda’s injured Jason O’Halloran and the Frenchman left Silverstone with 17th and 15th placings. Robbin Harms made his racing return at Silverstone but was left disappointed after a DNF in the first race prevented him from taking part in the second.

In the MCE British Superbike class Danny Buchan finished in the points in both races, taking tenth and 12th place, while Lee Jackson finished 12th in the first race and 17th in the second outing.

Round 11 of British Superbike Championship takes place on 2-4 October, at Silverstone.

British Superbike action for Furygan riders at Thruxton

This weekend the MCE British Superbike championship and its support classes headed to Hampshire to the fast and flowing Thruxton circuit, for the seventh round of the championship.

Kyle Ryde enjoyed another solid weekend in the Motorpoint British Supersport championship races stepping on the rostrum in second place in race one and finishing race two fifth. The youngster is second in the championship standings, 28 points behind the leader.

It was a disappointing weekend for Danny Buchan in the British Superbike classes after scoring two DNF’s. Race one saw Buchan start from ninth on the grid, but he crashed out towards the closing stages of the race, unhurt. In race two a tyre issue unfortunately forced him out of the running. Fellow Furygan supported Lee Jackson had impressive pace in race two, finishing ninth after starting from the back of the grid.

It was a busy weekend for Superstock 1000 rider Adam Jenkinson, who was drafted in by Milwaukee Yamaha to replace its injured rider Broc Parkes in the Superbike class.

Kyle Ryde enjoys double podium at Brands Hatch

The MCE British Superbike championship made its second visit of the year to Brands Hatch, in Kent this weekend, with riders taking on the 3.916km Grand Prix circuit. Round six proved to be a weekend of mixed fortunes for Furygan’s supported riders.

Kyle Ryde had another successful weekend in the Motorpoint British Supersport championship, visiting the podium in both races with a 2-2 performance. The PacedayZ Trackdays Yamaha rider had to ride hard in the first few laps to gain track position, which kept him from closing the gap to race winner Luke Stapleford. Ryde sits second in the championship standings, eight points from the overall lead.

Meanwhile, in the MCE British Superbike races, Furygan’s Danny Buchan had a difficult weekend. Buchan had a great start in race one before he was caught in an incident, which put him out of the race and meant he was unable to take part in race two. The Brit only suffered a suspected mild concussion and is otherwise OK. Lee Jackson finished his weekend just outside of the top ten in 12th and 11th places.

It was an unfortunate weekend for the Furygan riders in the National Superstock 1000 and 600 races. Adam Jenkinson (Superstock 1000) was back after an injury-induced eight-week break but was unable to convert his enthusiasm, and his strong seventh place qualifying, into a good race result. A great start saw Jenkinson make his way up to fourth at the end of the first lap but at the end of the second lap a crash at Clearways ended his race; fortunately, the Knutsford man escaped injury. Jordan Weaving (Superstock 600) was also unable to finish his race.

The British Superbike Championship will return for round seven (31 July â€“ 2 August) at Thruxton in Hampshire.

This coming weekend (26 July) will see Furygan’s endurance riders Freddy Foray, Sebastien Gimbert and Julien da Costa in action at the 8-hours of Suzuka in Japan.

It was a successful outing for SHARK’s supported riders at the 2.045km Scottish circuit, with wins, podiums and top-ten finishes collected throughout the championships.

In the Motorpoint British Supersport championship, Kyle Ryde took his second win of the year holding off Glen Irwin and lap record holder Jake Dixon. In the first race on Saturday, Ryde placed third on the podium â€“ 3.9 seconds behind the winner. The young-Brit is currently second in the overall standings, just one point away from leading the series. Luke Hedger also enjoyed a weekend in the top-ten placing sixth and eighth.

Meanwhile in the MCE British Superbike races, SHARK’s Danny Buchan had a positive weekend finishing both races in the top-ten in sixth and seventh places. After Buchan’s performance in the first race, he started the second BSB race from the front row of the grid in third. Lee Jackson finished his weekend in 11th place in both Superbike races while James Westmoreland took two top-ten finishes (9-8).

Further wins were produced in the KTM Junior Cup where SHARK riders dominated proceedings. Chris Taylor took the first race win, placed seventh in race two, had a DNF in the third outing, but finished the weekend second in the fourth race. Tom Strudwick took victories in the second and fourth races, and finished both race one and three again on the podium in second, while Kevin Keyes won the third race over Strudwick. Keyes also placed second on the podium in the second race and finished race one seventh after a jump-start saw him receive a 20-second penalty. Keyes completed his weekend fifth in the final race.

Following his win at the previous round Josh Elliott secured the victory in the National Superstock 1000 race, boosting his championship lead by 37-points. Fellow SHARK supported Jess Traylor came home fourth, Alex Olsen fifth, and Nick Anderson finished 11th. The National Superstock 600 race saw Joe Francis place sixth, Jordan Weaving eighth and Brad Ray cross the line tenth.

Josh Owens further boosted his championship lead in the Motostar 125GP standings, winning both races and now leads by a healthy 74-points. Meanwhile Charlie Nesbitt finished the Motostar Moto3 races in fifth and eighth, while Joe Thomas came home tenth and suffered a DNF in race two.

INTERPHONE F5 MC WINS INTERCOM OF THE YEAR !!!

webBikeWorld Motorcycle Product of the Year Category Communications System: INTERPHONEF5MC

" 2014 could have been called "The Year of the Intercom", making for a difficult choice but there was one standout: the Interphone F5MC (review).

Top-of-the-line intercoms (aka "communication systems") have an extensive feature set that can be complex and difficult to use.

But the Interphone F5MC makes it easy with its helpful "Voice Wizard" spoken status announcements that are just a step beyond the other manufacturers' systems, guiding owners through every menu choice.

The F5MC also has outstanding sound quality; a good built-in FM Radio; "Anycom" ability to pair with other brands and lots more, edging it past the competition...."
