Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Footpegs and Floorboards Reviews, Gear in Large Sizes, Handlebars / Levers / Grips Reviews, Suspension Reviews

Just like the three bears beds for Goldilocks, our stock motorcycles are just not right sometimes. Often its a matter of adjusting the handlebars, the footpegs or the shocks. Fortunately, Harley-Davidson is aware that not all riders are built the same, so over the last few years, engineers in the PA department have been designing various parts to accommodate shorter and taller-than-average riders. We also included something every rider should have—a set of auxiliary riding lights from Motolight.

Here’s one of those products that I think is a great idea if it’s done right. Motorcycle Armor is “armor” for your bike that protects the paint from scratches, scuffs, rock chips, and bug smashes that are inevitable over time The folks behind Motorcycle Armor have gone the extra mile to ensure that their paint-protecting film stays on and does what it’s supposed to.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Tour Master Motive Jacket

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Textile Jacket Reviews, Tour Master and Cortech Reviews

When I started riding motorcycles in 1995, I was young, naive and didn’t know anything about riding gear. So I went to Wilsons Leather in the mall and picked out the coolest-looking brown and black leather jacket with the longest fringe I ever saw. I knew it was big and heavy, but I loved that fringe and even had grandiose ideas of adding beads and braids to make it unique to my style.

I’ve had my fair share of falls and crashes with my motorcycle, but having the right gear to protect my body made all the difference when it came to recovery. If anything was loose or too big, I paid for it. Luckily, that was back before gear manufacturers began to focus on the needs of women riders and create gear that fits snugly and comfortably so women can have a safer ride.
