Just because you're not riding, that doesn't mean you're not thinking about it. You can't very well wear your Alpinestars riding gear everywhere you go unless you want one of those clever nicknames that are handed out to the downtown crazies. You can, however, wear the Alpinestars fleece hoody just ...
Back in school a few years ago, a teacher dubbed me The Man from Plaid. She had a distinct disdain for plaid. Not one who enjoys being singled out or pigeon-holed (does anyone?), I promptly switched to single-color and simpler print flannel shirts. Plaid had nothing to do with ...
I don't care what your opinion is about personal protection gear for the daily ride, but riding motocross is different. You're going to lose some skin when you're not wearing the right apparel. Never going down means you're not trying hard enough. It's an expected (and nearly required) hazard of the sport.

CRG has devoted ample engineering to the qualities that all motorcycle mirrors need, such as rubber ...
Aside from the tires, the most vulnerable part of an off-road motorcycle is the section right below the engine and transmission. Knowing this, most manufacturers include minimal skid plates on new machines. But stock skid plates don't cover much and are often at least partially made of plastic. That's fine if ...
Motorcycle protective gear continues to evolve in some very good ways. Perhaps it's even revolutionary, and certainly to every off-road rider's benefit -- that is assuming you actually wear the safety gear.
Since 1985, EVS Sports has been developing armor for humans. They provide mid-to-high range protective equipment to cover you ...
Many of us are upgrading our lighting systems to LEDs. Innumerable aftermarket turn signals are now LED based due to the low power draw and long life of the lights. If you've recently switched, you may be experiencing the frustration of your turn signals staying on, not coming on, or (more ...
