It makes a great trivia question: What Harley-Davidson has the lowest seat height? Well, up until 2010, it was the Fat Boy Lo, at 24.3 inches. But in 2011, Harley unveiled a mid-year release model—meaning it came out a few months after the other 2011 models were announced—and this motorcycle now lays claim to having the lowest seat height of any Harley-Davidson.

I live in Idaho, and our riding season is quite short—we’re lucky if we’re able to ride seven months out of the year. But earlier this spring, I was fortunate enough to receive a Rukka Armiina riding suit to try out. The Armiina is a three-season motorcycle-riding suit intended to insulate you from the weather and give you more time on the road. I am pleased to say that I (comfortably!) started riding a month earlier than usual thanks to this suit.

If you’ve been riding a motorcycle for any length of time, you know that motorcycles and T-shirts go together. Not motorcycles and blouses, not motorcycles and sweaters—it’s a tee that’s often the first layer for a woman rider. And for fashion-conscious gals, it’s a bonus when that T-shirt looks great and feels nice to wear.
