If you’ve ever worn a pair of fashion boots on your motorcycle, you’ve probably discovered they take a beating on the bike. Boots constructed for motorcyclists are made with riding wear and tear in mind, but off-the-rack motorcycle boots don’t always fit the way we want them to. Oh, if we could only find custom boots that fit our feet like a glove—I mean, a sock!

New Helmet Just for Women Debuts
OK, I’m embarrassed. I normally turn around product reviews in six to eight months, but this review of Powerlet’s heated gear has taken me almost three years to write. Why? Because I was gun shy. I always said I wouldn’t succumb to using heated gear. If it’s so cold that I need heated clothing, then I ain’t ridin’—that’s been my mantra all these years.
