When it comes to shopping for helmets, there are hundreds of choices out there. Women now have the option to choose a modular full-face helmet designed just for them. Schuberth, a leader in high-end protective helmets, has designed the C3W, the womens version of the C3, the “lightest, quietest, most compact flip-up motorcycle helmet on the market,” according to Schuberth.

A rider shopping for the perfect-fitting motorcycle will take into account many factors, but for most women riders, seat height is one of the biggest considerations. While finding the right seat height can be difficult for any rider, those with shorter inseams have a harder time than most.

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.

Because I live near Yellowstone National Park in Montana, I frequently get asked by motorcyclists to share what I think are some of the best roads to ride in this area when limited time is a consideration. I recently discovered an scenic loop encompassing Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, covering 400 miles that can be ridden swiftly within four days or stretched out over a week for some breathing room.

Intercom communication devices are not new to motorcycling. It’s common to see two couples on two Gold Wings with microphones attached to the sides of their helmets, rider and passenger talking to each another and rider and rider talking too. A few years ago, Cardo Systems came onto the market with the scala rider line of headset intercoms and reached out to me in an effort to get the word out to women motorcyclists.
