We found more goodies at the Dealer Expo in February, the trade show where manufacturers show off their products to the dealers. The owners of these six companies all saw a nitch not being filled and decided to plunk their savings into building a brand.
Exciting New Motorcycling Clothing
If youre a frequent visitor to WRN, you know I recently returned from two big industry trade shows, the V-Twin Expo, and Dealer Expo, where manufacturers display their latest products for the dealers who look for new items for their stores. Many of the motorcycling apparel manufacturers were at both shows displaying their new womens styles for 2009.

Scorpion burst onto the scene a few years ago with a line of helmets splashed with edgy graphics and an attitude to match. Last year, the company started making womens riding gear with lots of sass and pizzazz, part of its Scorpion EXO clothing line. I tested the leather Elektra jacket and Haley pants.

If you keep up with the leather and textile jacket offerings from Harley-Davidson, youve heard of the FXRG line, the Motor Companys functional riding gear (thats what FXRG stand for). Ive worn both the FXRG leather jacket and pants and the textile riding outfit when they first came out and found them to be top notch in protection and comfort.
Harley-Davidson is highlighting a few new items it thinks would make great gifts for women during the holiday season. These products are usually only available for a limited time, unlike the Harley core collection consisting of apparel that is a regular part of the Harley line.

Falling temperatures can put the chill on the journey for some motorcycle riders. One way to extend your riding season is by wearing heated gear.

As a result, some riders have not “bought into” the whole heated gear concept.
Black motorcycle jackets are a dime a dozen, so when I find a leather jacket thats not black, Im all over it. The one that caught my eye this time is a very dark brown, vintage-style, mid-weight leather jacket called the Dame made by River Road. If you like black, though, River Road offers that color as well.
