Joe Rocket Armored Mesh Jacket Vented | Men’s Waterproof Liner, Phoenix 5.0

Having lived in Arizona for over 4 decades, I know a little something about heat. Having been a motorcyclist for almost as long, I know a little something about hot weather gear. I don't know if Joe Rocket invented the armored mesh jacket, but they are at least ...
Scorpion Waterproof Shock Jacket w/ Thermal Liner | Mens Armored Black Leather & Textile
Posted by Tim
Leather is protective, heavy, and expensive. Cordura textile is versatile, waterproof, and relatively affordable. An increasing number of quality motorcycle jackets are mating these two materials with very positive results. By placing leather in the impact-prone zones of the jacket, like the forearms and shoulders, the ...

Arai Snell Motorcycle Helmet, Decal Graphic Optional | Full Face Vented w/ Liner Quantum 2

I have always felt that there are two areas where a motorcyclist simply cannot cut financial corners. One is tires, and the other is helmets. My experience with helmets is relatively extensive. I buy a new helmet every three years. However, I always seem to ...
Icon Skull Black Leather Jacket | Men’s Motorcycle CE Armored Gear
Posted by Tim
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.
Icon's Men's Skull Leather Motorcycle Jacket plays ...
Tour Master Trinity | Womens Motorcycle Jackets | Quilted Nylon Waterproof
Posted by Ila
Riding to work at this time of year has its appeals. You tough out the cold morning, the street still untouched by the warming massage of all those particles of light, and you receive your afternoon reward of a beautiful fall ride past fields and fauna. These are, at least, my circumstances.

Harley-Davidson Trike Cove | Motorcycle Cover Black Fitted 83845-09
Posted by Ila
There are plenty of bike covers to choose from now that it's bike covering season. Trikes, however, are often neglected the comfort of a well-fitted cover and instead don a frumpy tarp for the winter season. A tarp traps moisture that will contribute to rust and degradation, which is not what you want ...
KBC Ed Hardy Motorcycle Helmet | Skull Nomad – Death or Glory
Posted by Ila
The KBC Ed Hardy "Death or Glory" Nomad brings me a weird kind of joy. The Ed Hardy tattoo designs, which don't shirk their responsibility of transmitting a certain disregard for an under-lived life, give this helmet an uncompromising look.
This particular model of the Nomad is in no way subtle, ...
Hawk Full Face Helmet, Advance Decal | Lightweight Vented ABS Shell w/ Liner
Posted by Ila
Hawk helmets have been doing creative acrobatics with their helmet designs. The Advance green and white helmet takes the broad tapering stripes that have been the fashion in decals since, well, as long as I've seen full face helmets with decals. A little twist and they've added a strong, almost typographical art ...

River Road Jacket, Street Cruiser Race | Unisex Black Leather Tapered w/ Liner 42
Posted by Ila
The streetbike community is overrun, drowning in a deluge of textile jackets. Don't get me wrong; there are companies, like Icon, that make some great leathers for the street rider. There is, however, a particular style to this kind of jacket, and manufacturers will charge you an arm and a leg ...
Scorpion Open Face Skull Helmet, Black | Polycarbonate Spitfire EXO-100
Posted by Ila
Full-face helmets are not for everyone. The claustrophobic, for instance, might find them restrictive. Heck, I find them restrictive and I'm one of their most avid defenders. I'm inclined toward the half helmets for their style and the wind-in-your-face experience. Scorpion's Spitfire is a nice compromise if you're ever feeling ...

Sometimes you look at a product and you don't have to give two thoughts about its purpose. River Road's Basic leather motorcycle jacket is just that: a basic motorcycle jacket. You look at it and you know that it's cut and designed for riding because it looks like the jackets ...
Thor Quadrant Helmet | Motocross MX Polycarbonate Vented
Posted by Ila
Helmet branding is important. My natural inclination is to reject branding due to its relevance to status, which is a bunch of bull in my opinion. Branding, however, has function beyond that superficial stuff. It's a way to know that you're getting a good product without having to conduct crash tests in your ...
AGV Miglia Helmet | Black Modular Lightweight Adjustable

AGV Sport Evolution Rally Jacket | Black Textile Vest Mesh w/ Quilted Liner
Posted by Ila
Anyone who knows me knows that I like versatility. I'm terrible at making the big decisions because I always want to make the "right" one. Any product that can assure me it will accommodate me during a sudden snowstorm in a desert has my vote. Maybe the AGV Sport Evolution/Rally ...

My brother-in-law just bought his third riding jacket. Third. He has a leather, a textile, and now another textile that has "Kawasaki" written on it.

THH MotoCross Helmet Camo | Youth & Adult Replaceable Parts
Posted by Ila
Where I grew up there were miles and miles of woodlands with ill-tended 2-tracks snaking throughout them. You could ride off into the forest and not see another human for hours. Most popular sports involved guns, and most popular clothing was camouflage.
Many of THH's helmets are designed with flaming skulls and ...

HJC Full Face Helmet w/ Liner | Polycarbonate Vented Yellow CLSP
Posted by Ila
HJC has been the best-selling helmet brand in the US for years. I don't know if they will hold that title for 2009, but I would guess it likely, considering the quality they deliver for prices that make you nod. The cost of their helmets is not ridiculously, quality-questioningly good, but ...
Nolan Outlaw Full Face Helmet | N102 B565270470355
Posted by Ila
Nolan makes some of the most aerodynamic helmets, including the Outlaw full-face model, which is surprising as they still have a stabilizing spoiler. Spoilers often lead to greater wind resistance and noise, but Nolan's engineering has gotten around those pitfalls with their unique polycarbonate shell. Even though it's a modular, it's ...
Mens Motorcycle Cruiser Xelement Jacket w/ Quilted Liner | Premium Black Leather Vented

At Xelement they make a variety of leather apparel items as well as saddlebags. New for their lineup is the Cruiser Premium Vented jacket. It's called a vented jacket because the two upper zippers are actually vents, and there's a matching pair of zippered vents on the lower ...
River Road Hoodlum Motorcycle Jacket | Black Leather 42 07J2152

Most things are designed to last these days, and what doesn't last is so fragile that it wears out before it wears in. You hardly ever see a nicely worn leather jacket anymore. My riding partner has had his jacket for seven years and it still looks new. Yes, I ...

THH Web & Skull Motocross MX Helmet | Youth Polycarbonate Silver TX-10

My first riding helmet was a matte black shell without any kind of symbol or emblem aside from the DOT sticker. After a while, I cut a few designs out of reflective tape and decorated its plain exterior. One of my riding buddies told me later that the ...
Shoei Full Face Helmet | Organic Black Vented w/ Liner TZ-R

This helmet is what I call a blank canvas. The matte black TZ-R by Shoei is as simple as they come in appearance and will happily take your stickers, reflectors, paint, or whatever else you want to use to personalize it.
While the exterior is plain-jane, the inside carries a long history of ...
Power Trip Stiletto Womens Motorcycle Jacket | Black Zebra
Posted by Ila
Sometimes, you have to see something to believe it. If someone described the Power Trip Stiletto jacket with the zebra design, all I would think would be, "Yeah, that will catch some attention, a zebra on fire!" Power Trip seems to have pulled off the design better than I could ...

In appearance the Range looks ...
Icon Black Leather Jacket Retro | Mens Vintage Clothing, Daytona Racing
Posted by Ila
Unfortunately, most of the products on the market that call themselves "retro" are purchased as a sad attempt to recapture an experience the buyer never had. For example: high school kids in 1996 wearing reproduction clothing to emulate the original Woodstock look.
Icon has not bought into that concept of purchasing ...
Joe Rocket Full Face Helmet, XS to XXL | Carbon Fiber Black RKT101

TX-10 Motocross Helmet | Skull Web w/ Liner

Edward Teach, better known by the infamous title of "Blackbeard the Pirate," was a master of psychological warfare. It is entirely likely that he never killed a single person on his routine high-seas pillaging. Teach chose, instead of violence, to terrify with symbols and extravagant charades. This is why he set his ...
Men’s Black Leather Alpinestars Jacket | Thermal Insulated Vest Liner Rod

Leather: it's for your senses -- even "sense-ual," as it were. Even the word "leather" has a nice feel and sound to it. And with this thick-skinned and slightly oversized Alpinestars jacket, you'll get a nice feel as well as the creaking sound of good, finished leather. Gotta love that smell, ...

Joe Rocket Womens Fitted Jacket, Armored w/ Liner | Suzuki Motorcycle Superstock

HJC Open Face Helmet | Polycarbonate Red Wine IS-33
Posted by Ila
I've always worn a full face helmet and drooled over the features of modular helmets. I have never bought a modular because I don't trust the ones I can afford. I'm waiting for the technology to advance or the price to come down. In the meantime, there is an economical alternative -- ...
