Warmer Rides

Last fall I was coming out of the Square Deal Riders Raceway in Port Crane, NY after the Aaron Creamer Memorial flat track races. The races finished just a hair before the midnight curfew, so it was late, damp, and the temperature had dipped down into the low 50s-pretty much what you'd expect for upstate New York in late September.

Retro Helmets

Something old, something new, something borrowed... but nothing to cause the blues. In the best wedding tradition, Scorpion's "Vintage" EXO-750 Air helmet marries avant garde upgrades with retro graphics to create a happy union.

MotorClothes Pants

While denim jeans certainly do not offer the protection of leather pants, denim is certainly a comfortable choice when safety is not the primary concern.

Harley-Davidson MotorClothes has announced three custom styles of denim jeans for motorcycle riding, featuring a modern wash and updated fits.

New H-D Gear

Harley-Davidson MotorClothes has announced the new Ride Ready Collection. According to a MotorClothes spokesman, "The Ride Ready Collection from the Harley-Davidson MotorClothes line eliminates the guesswork by delivering what riders need in functional gear at a premium value."

Race Suit Review

Impressed as I've been with Alpinestars' consistent ability to thoughtfully blend both stylish and comfortable products with a keen sense of utility, I was curious to find out what the RC-1 one-piece racing suit brings the table.

Shift Gear

While Shift may be known to experienced off-road motorcycle riders as the company spun off of Fox Racing and initially associated with 1997 AMA Supercross Champion Jeff Emig, Shift has established itself as an independent brand, stretching beyond the dirt market into street bike apparel.

Motorcycle Jacket

"The last word in summer leather gear", according to Teiz Motorsports, the Tioga Leather Mesh motorcycle jacket arrived for my review in the middle of winter.

Waterproof Touring

Rain often ruins a ride, with the first signs of disaster coming from your hands, as the water works its way in and your fingers feel progressively colder. It doesn't have to be this way. Waterproof yet breathable, thermally insulated gloves are now widely available and let you keep on riding, if they work as advertised.
