- Next up on our staff picks is our head of content and purchasing Laurens Vanherstraeten.
Having worked at Urban Rider for 7 years it's fair to say he's collected a lot of clothing. And since he can't wear all of it at the same time the hardest job is going to be picking his favourites. Good luck Laurens.

🤣 I was soo confused for a moment about that first sound clip of the bike. I was like that thing sounds like my weed eater.
Design on the helmet is from Thom Yorke’s album - The ERASER
Thom York eraser album cover on first helmet.
I love the dubbed Simson s50 sound, lol :)
This makes me very happy. First of all, this item is supernice. I enjoyed it from beginning till end. And of course, i am really happy that the helmet I painted for Laurence is still one of his favorites. Thanks a lot Laurence!
Still love it, you've done an amazing job on it! - Laurens
@@UrbanRiderlondon Awesome. Makes me happy to hear this Laurence. Good luck with all the joy of the business. Hope to visit Urban Rider soon.
Excellent choices and attention to detail . But it does make me as a northern Bonneville rider think that most of these products are way out of most riders league unless you have staff discounts or are v Rich
I love these staff pick pieces, and the camaraderie and mickey take that goes with them. The kit on show has me flipping and flopping on what i want next. Keep up the good work chaps.
Super nice Urban Rider Style! 😎👌 Go on! I just bought a Hedon Heroine Helmet 🤩🥳💪 Nice greets from Austria! 🇦🇹🤘
Nice 👍
having own a T120 i nearly fell off my chair when i heard that rev of the speed twin hahaha. nice one.
😂🤣 Got me with the sound test lol
Please, no more, I’m still broke from Andrew’s “staff picks”.
This was a really cool video. Very helpful as a fellow lanky, long oval head, speed twin rider.
Glad it was helpful!
Thats the first time I saw the Bell Bullet with the mirror front. . . . I've been avoiding the Bullet but that . . . might be it.
Brilliant series chaps
Thanks!
@@UrbanRiderlondon there’s a CZcams called Freddie Dobbs you guys should collaborate with
These are terrific to watch team- has inspired me to purchase several of the items shared- keep it up
Glad you like them!
Great series. As a true long oval head too, I rarely have a chance to discuss helmet preferences with similarly shaped folks. Very interesting to see Lauren's helmet choices, thanks Urban Rider!
Me too 👍🏼
Glad you like it!
Ditto Arai Signet X
I literally lost all faith in you guys, until I found out it was a joke 😂😂👍🏻
I really dig your style! That’s the kind of gear I’m looking to wear, so thanks for showing it all off.
Thanks for watching!
Great Series! Keep it up please.
That's the plan!
hahahahaha I love the edited sound, that was golden.
It had to be done! :D
I need to get my Mrs to watch these videos so I can prove to her that it's not just me who's a bike kit junky!
That's one way to do it! :D - Iza
no disrespect to other staff members but Lauren has the most exquisite taste at least from my perspective. this was a brilliant idea though I love all the various styles, tastes and time tested reviews, great video! cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll pass on the message :) - Iza
Still can't beat a pair of grafters traders boots and a sand warrior jacket. Cool as a cucumber and a pocket full of money for cheddar biscuits.
That glamster is your best helmet! 🤣
Love your Staff Picks videos, thanks for putting those out. I'm a french guy who lives in Montreal, Canada... and I can say those videos are both a delightful and terribly depressing, ahah. Maybe tire manufacturers should invent heating tires, so they can melt the snow and we can ride during winter. Anyway, thanks again for your content and sharp eye when it comes to the gear selection you offer at urban Rider. Cheers european mates!
these are so great, cheers guys.
Thanks!
Ghost D30/SASTECH upgrade - I can vouch for that! BTW this series is great, and nice to see these products have longevity with superseded items that are well used.
Hi Brian, They are indeed a great choice to consider! Thank you - more to come :) - Iza
Really cool gear. This man has great taste !
You got that right!
Love the Speed Twin
Really hard not to! Such a fun ride. - Laurens
Lauren is cooler than an Eskimos danglies.
Lol the first sound clip I nearly closed the video😂. Sounds great once you play the real version
😁
haha was really confused with that 2st noise
That MT-03: great bike. I wish I'd bought that Velomacchi backpack instead of the flimsy Kriega R25.
I love these.
Thanks!
Been going in circles looking for a jacket, have a few swanky Boda Skins pieces that I bought, but don't trust my life at speed to the look. Just finding out about the RSD Clash and ordered from you guys. Can't wait to get it on and get my bikes on the road!
Hi Ian! That is a great choice, we hope you will like the jacket as much as we do! - Iza :)
Love the leather jacket
Really enjoyed this even tho I'm more of a sports style rider. I'm torn between winter gloves, heated grips, or glove liners with my current gloves for winter. This is my first winter riding season.
What you may find is, even good winter gloves are not enough on their own. I spent £130 on some really good gore tex winter gloves and I still can't feel my fingers after an hour if the air is chilly.
I don't do a lot of high-speed riding as the temperatures drop, so my heated grips work very well in combination with my winter gloves. However, in my experience, nothing works as well as heated gloves. They're a bit of an investment but if you're looking to ride throughout winter, definitely worth it. Never really got on with glove liners, the ones that actually give enough insulation tend to be too thick to comfortably fit in my summer gloves. - Laurens
Loving this series, great to look at the gear after it’s been used for a couple of years. I know it’s a cliche but it’s becoming clear that spending a bit more turns out to be more economic over time!! Cheers
Glad you enjoy it!
Motton? WTF! The BEST side Pannells are from TAMARIT MNOTORCYCLES! Great Videos
I'm about to get a Speed Twin. About a month off. Super excited.
Nice!
Thanks for video ! The cover for the Google’s comes with them ?
The best
The Baruffaldi Speed 4 goggles all come with a smoke lens that clips on. The Urban Rider edition (which I am wearing in the video) has a faux leather trim around the lens, because we're fancy like that. - Laurens
Can a review be done of the DMD Oro series? For the open and the MX model- 75? I like the compact lids as I have a small head. Looking at something compact for street / city use
Is that a barge pole guy - on that white helmet?
Reminds me of some book by Annie M G Schmidt,
"Jip en Janneke" which I bought in Belgium.
Hey guys, not sure if anybody checking this as it is a year old.. but I have a couple of questions which would be super helpful to know the answer....
Firstly, I have a Bell Bullitt and looking to order a Hedon Heroine Racer 2.0.
My head measures c57cm...your size guide suggest I will need a Large - but Hedon's says Medium. Is Laurens' experience that the helmet fits a whole size up from the Bell?
Secondly, Laurens mentioned he wanted to switch out the "Speed Twin" side panel...did he ever manage to find a good replacement (if he still has the bike)? I've just bought a 2023 SpeedTwin and have the same dislike for the font!
Cheers :)
Has the bell Bullitt updated the forehead section or does it still leave a giant mark? Other helmets seem to tuck the liner around the front rather than let it sit freely, an odd choice IMO
Hi Joel, the Bullitt got an update in 2018 and the liner now does tuck in around the front. It's much more comfortable! - Laurens
The other day i came back after a 200kms ride, and my windshield was covered in insects, and i had several high velocity impacts on my full face helmet. And i own an Africa Twin, so very good wind protection. How do you people even manage to ride with an open face helmets on a naked bike lol ?
Always keep your mouth shut when wearing an open face, unless you want a free lunch. I usually grab the open face when riding in town or cruising laidback countryside roads. For any motorway journeys or more "spirited" riding, I'll always resort to wearing a full face. - Laurens
Thom Yorks - Eraser
What exhaust is that on that Speed Triple 955i? I got the same bike.
Whats the blue helmet behind? i love it.
Hi Fraser, it's the Shoei Glamster in Laguna Blue: www.urbanrider.co.uk/shoei-glamster-helmet-laguna-blue.html Hope this helps! - Iza
what is that green shirt you're wearing?! 🔥🔥🔥
Quick question do you wear the helmet and goggles with your glasses underneath. just wondering thanks
Hi Reg. Yes, Laurens wears his glasses while he rides :) - Iza
@@UrbanRiderlondon thanks
Why did he switch and get rid of the triple ? Like which does he prefer
Hi Fee, I sadly had to get rid of the triple because of stricter emissions regulations in central London. I can't tell you which one I prefer. I'd prefer to have both sitting in my garage... - Laurens
@@UrbanRiderlondon what year was yours? Thanks for the feedback by the way. Do you have a Instagram I can follow by any chance ?
What's the helmet on the bottom right? Bell Moto 3?
Hi Stephen, it's the DMD SEVENTY FIVE HELMET :) - Iza
Have any staff in the US?
What is that blue helmet on the top shelf?
HI Dzimka, it's the Shoei Glamster in Laguna Blue: www.urbanrider.co.uk/shoei-glamster-helmet-laguna-blue.html Hope this helps! - Iza
Let's gooooo early gang
Ahahahha 😂
How can you say the side panels don’t suit the bike they are gorgeous, are you mad
