Dainese Mens Black Motorcycle Jacket, Textile

Armored Mesh Reflective Zentex

Dainese Mens Black Motorcycle Jacket, Textile | Armored Mesh Reflective Zentex

I like Dainese gear. It's not cheap, and I mean that in both implications of the word. Dainese leather gear often has a price that puts it out of the reach of the budget-constrained rider. However, Dainese is becoming a much bigger player in the textile market, ...

Cruiser Motorcycle Fashion Accessory Boot Clip | Maltese Cross, Black Steel Jewelry

Here is a little item that many might immediately relegate to the "unneeded trinket" category. However, anyone who has ridden a motorcycle for any amount of time has faced the dreaded pant-leg balloon effect. OK, I'm sure this was a bigger problem in the '70s with bellbottoms -- heck, ...

Shark DOT Helmet w/ Chin Strap Unlock | Vented Evoline Absolute Black

Revolutionary. This new Shark Evoline Absolute Helmet is certainly that. It's hard to know where to start. I guess it makes sense to start with the helmet's most striking feature: the patented Tech-Move System Chinstrap. The chin bar unlocks, moves to a back ...

Street Motorcycle Touring Windshield

Puig Windscreen, Dark Tint Aftermarket | Street Motorcycle Touring Windshield

Windscreens on motorcycles are nothing like their automotive counterparts. Instead of keeping out airflow, motorcycle screens redirect and manipulate the air through which a motorcycle passes.

Whistler Cruisader LED Display

Motorcycle Helmet Wireless Radar Detector | Whistler Cruisader LED Display

Radar detectors can obviously save you from an expensive ticket -- that is, if you get the message. On a motorcycle, getting the message can be a bit difficult. First, a helmeted rider will never hear a radar detector's audio alert at speed. Wind and road noise will ...





Motorcycle Battery Smart Charger by BikeMaster

Desulfator & Tester OptiMate III

Motorcycle Battery Smart Charger by BikeMaster | Desulfator & Tester OptiMate III

Battery maintenance is a necessary nuisance for a motorcyclist. There are factors that affect motorcycle batteries more severely than those installed in automobiles.

Motorcycle Torin Hydraulic Jack Lift, Red

Garage Mechanic Tools

Motorcycle Torin Hydraulic Jack Lift, Red | Garage Mechanic Tools

AGV Motorcycle Full Face Helmet, Italian | Stealth Razor Black Kevlar

If it is good enough for Valentino Rossi, it's good enough for me. OK, so I don't know what model AGV helmet the MotoGP road race champion wears, but I do know he trusts his noggin to the Italian helmet manufacturer.

AFX Modular Flip Helmet for Racing, Touring | Vented Graphic or Gloss FX-28

Bridgestone Street Tires Battleax BT-021

Dual Sport Touring Rear

Bridgestone Street Tires Battleax BT-021 | Dual Sport Touring Rear

Pure sport riders require a sticky tire and generally have relatively little concern for mileage. Pure touring riders have exactly the opposite mindset. Stuck in the middle is the sport-tourer. Just like the label suggests, the sport-touring motorcyclist desires the best of both worlds.

I have been sport ...

Bike Rack Hitch Mount Class III

Motorcycle Carrier Wedge Lok | Bike Rack Hitch Mount Class III

I have always wondered about these frame-hitch mounted motorcycle carriers. I have used something similar with mountain bikes. However, with bicycles, we are carrying (at most) about 50 pounds total. Cycle Country rates the Wedge-Lok at 400 pounds. That is a lot of weight on the ...

Men’s Motorcycle CE Armored Gear

Icon Skull Black Leather Jacket | Men’s Motorcycle CE Armored Gear

Personally, I'm not into the whole "fear and intimidation" aspect in a lot of today's motorcycling gear. I have never donned flames, bones, or skulls. However, I am a realist, and I know this is a marketable aspect of our sport.
