Bell Helmets & More

As many current motorcycles give more than a passing nod to days gone by, it is imperative for riders to wear motorcycling clothing that shows the same respect for our predecessors’ appearance. Bell Helmets is an iconic American name, and its logo tightly retains its ties to the past. The R/T open face helmet ($60) allows you to experience the wind in your face, just as riders did before Bell invented the full-face motorcycle helmet in 1966.

With a style that recalls every bad boy from Brando to the Ramones, Firstgear’s Honcho leather jacket (from $330) is a premium version of the classic look, with optional armor padding, plenty of venting and a removable thermal liner. Firstgear’s complementary Roadmaster gloves ($40) and Dry Sport Tour Leather Overpants (from $300) keep the bad-in-black look alive, while serving the purpose of rider protection.

Red Wing Shoes is a name nearly as old as motorcycling, dating back to 1905. Red Wing’s 980 boots utilize a timeless lace-up style and full-grain leather, with hidden modern touches—an impervious Vibram outsole, nylon-covered removable footbed, Goodyear welt construction and a waterproofing system. These boots look good, both on and off your bike.
