Fodsports V6 Plus Bluetooth Headset Intercom Review

Recently, McsBest contacted me to see if I wanted to review some of its motorcycle Bluetooth headsets. I said sure, and they sent me a package with two Fodsports V6 Plus Bluetooth Headset Intercom units inside.

These intercoms offer many of the same features you’ll get from companies like Cardo or Sena, but at a much lower price, which is about $90 (though it’s on sale right now for about $55!) I was thoroughly intrigued.

After spending about a week using the headset on over 500 miles of riding, I can now tell you how I feel about the headset. Here’s what I found.

There are good riding shoes out there for very little money, and the Street & Steel Kickstarter riding shoes are just that.

Recently, I wrote an article about the Klim Induction Jacket, but there’s also offers the Klim Induction Gloves. A fair number of you seemed to really like the Induction Jacket, so I thought it best to do a post on the gloves, too.

These are great for summer, and feature good airflow and protection. if you need some top-quality short-cuff gloves, then I’d suggest you take a closer look at these gloves.

Yamaha XT550 “La Lupa” by Francis Von Tuto

The Yamaha XT550 is one of my favorite bikes to see customized, and this bike called La Lupa built by Francis Von Tuto is no exception. It’s a beautiful motorcycle.

The XT550 is a unique motorcycle and it makes for a great scrambler or tracker design as you can see here.

It is a bike that came out in the 1980s and it has aged really well. This custom is great because it’s still recognizable as a Yamaha XT550.
