Very nice....but who is riding Empulsebuyer's white Empulse?
Gavin

If you look close, you may notice that the white Empulse is hooked up to a charger disguised as an old fashioned gas pump!
Here's Eric Bostrom's tweet (and a link to a larger image).

He knows that's not an Enertia, right? : ) Maybe it feels like one after riding the RR..
-
Just as long as e-Boz doesnt scratch my whip, Im ok with him taking it out for a spin. ;) Awesome picture.

It looks like they've built at least 3 so far! (4 if you include Shelina's Race bike.) I wonder if those are for the reporters to try out.

That orange is slick!

Not orange...red...
Red is a hard color to photograph well

You are a very funny guy. I really hope he sees this.

I guess the skinny jeans confused me....

Is Wes wearing SteveO's scrapped up helmet from Infineon high side?
Gavin
ps...looks like he's having fun.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe we'll learn when the review gets posted. Can't wait.

I was just going off the difference between the red on the shock spring and the colour on the body. In photo the body looks like a really nice orange. Now I know what colour I want my Empulse.

Just got an exclusive sneak peek of the Hell for Leather ride - and a blurb:
Yesterday, Eric Bostrom got his knee down on the road for the first time ever, while following me on the standard Empulse. Here's a photo of that moment, I'm on the R.
Brammo's built a real electric sports bike bike. The Empulse is bad ass.

Icon is supposedly making a special edition version of that helmet (i gather an IconBrammo Racing helmet)...
So I guess soon people will be able to buy one.

Wes, Did ICON supply the helmet to you specifically for this shoot?
Wes Siler | August 21, 2012 2:58 PM | Log in to Reply
Yep. It’s a new model coming out that I’m not supposed to talk about yet. That’s a production color scheme.

Same thread, a little later in the day:

We are releasing the Airmada Hi-Viz Stack helmet — and the rest of our new fall products this Friday.
So, straight from the horse's mouth. ;)
-
I want that helmet.
SteveO offered me his at the end of season...but I doubt he's running a large plus. I have the Irish melon head syndrome.
Icon, send me one...I will promote the hell out of it...

I would love a Brammo Team leather jacket if Icon would sell one. That helmet is off the hook, but I already have an Icon Domain Decay helmet that I just love... same with all my other gear... all Icon already :). Best stuff in my opinion!

yeah...I have three helmets already...but.... :) Really you can;t have too many helmets...
Shoei fits me great, so hard to not get another Shoei... Never tried on an Icon helmet...similar fit to the Shoei?
Those gloves are wicked...I think I will hop over to the motorcycle superstore and grab a pair.
Jacket....well I already have 4....not sure my closet can fit another at this time...
Gavin
-
That Airmada sure is nice too. Wait till you see the price...
-
Gavin, may I suggest http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com (http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com)
I just linked that other store because it was the first one to show the item I wanted to link in google search.
http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=1677 (http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=1677)
Same price, awesome customer service. Im sure motorcycle superstore is great too but I cannot vouch for them as I have not used them in the past.
Not sure about Shoei fit vs Icon... My brother loves Shoei and has the same sized dome as me. I have worn his Shoei before and it seemed to fit fine... damn if I can remember what size it was though. :-\ My icon is a nice snug medium. Sorry, probably not much help there.
-
Two things:
EB: gloves fit true? Or small? I usually wear large...go large or ex large?
Mr Siler: wait till you see the price.... will i be happy or shocked :)
Currently on of my helmet is a Roof Boxer V...which they don't sell in the states...so I bought in England and had it shipped over...and it ain't a cheap helmet...
so i don't mind spending to get something I like that is also a good helmet.
How does the Airmada compare to the Shoei in size, fit and quality?
Gavin
-
I may add that my gear has already been crash tested... low side w/ gravel involved... ooops. About 30mph, so nothing major. Not a scratch on me... ego a different story. jacket has some battle wounds though, didnt hit my helmet on the ground so that of course is fine. Gloves held up well too. Draggin Jeans cargo pants held up very well.
Those gloves fit SMALL... im wearing xl. Usually large for me too.
-
hmmmm, carbon lifeform by Icon is suggested price of 515...so pricey...I expect the Airmada to be similar.

My Gloves: Icon Pursuit
Is this turning into a gear thread? ???
I don't actually believe that we can purchase motorcycle related gear up here for cheaper than in the USA. Mind you, it's one set of gloves, and only $6.54 CAD cheaper, but still ;D Except for when they're on sale I suppose :-[
I've got those gloves, here's my jacket:

Just popped up on
http://www.rideicon.com/products/?productGroupId=1915 (http://www.rideicon.com/products/?productGroupId=1915)
[smg id=370 width=400]
$260 - not bad at all.
-
Less than I paid for my Shoei RF-1000. Which is probably getting on due for a replacement.
I dig the black / gray design.
-
Great price...now Mr. Siler, reviews of the helmet?
I wish they did that design on the Carbon Fiber...but at half the price than the Lifeform, well this might be my next helmet...

I remember seeing something similar with the Enertia. It's nice to see it happening with the Empulse. ;D

Empulse at peace, in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, after my lunch break...
