Weve got to hand it to Harley-Davidson for continuing to come up with jazzy new styles that keep up with whats going on in mainstream fashion circles. The new MotorClothes are inspired by tattoo art and because theyre sexy, comfortable and cutting edge we think women riders will love them whether they ride a Harley-Davidson or not.
Tattoo Art Inspired Riding Apparel
I realize Im not the target demographic Ducati intended for the GT 1000. After all, I was only about to be conceived when Ducati designer Fabio Taglioni sketched out an image of the bike that would become legendary to many motorcycle historians and the basis for this modern-day, retro-styled sport standard.

The Robson Company has improved the Thumbnail Extension, reviewed by WRN. So whats new? The Thumbnail Curve as its now called, is contoured making it even easier for those with shorter fingers to reach the turn signals. It covers the stock button better so when a rider with a short thumb reaches for the turn signal, the Thumbnail Curve extension is right within reach so the rider doesnt have to move his or her hand off the throttle or handgrip.

Im a big fan of the Ride Like A Pro series of DVDs that show riders how to become a better motorcycle rider through a series of fun exercises. I even produced a short video on the women and men of the “Ride Like A Pro” team. Now, you can read and look at pictures of how to become a better rider in “Ride Like A Pro – the Book.”
“Supersport” designated motorcycles command awe and appreciation for their combination of sleek, go-fast looks and sporty, go-fast performance. On the other hand, scooters often don the less-sexy monikers of economical, practical, and even cute.

I love books and Ive received many to review over the years, but the latest one Im reviewing is the first book in years Im really excited about, like over-the-moon excited. Why? Because its an incredibly well done and professional presentation of a topic Im passionate about (and I think you are, too) women riders and not just any women riders, but the ones who paved the way for the first 50 years of the 1900s.

Those who ride sportbikes and spend a fair amount of time on the track know that selections for one-piece racing leathers cut specifically for women are limited. One company is trying to change that by adding a new womens racing suit to its apparel line giving female riders more options.
Motolight, the popular auxiliary riding lights that let other motorists see you better day or night, are now available for the rear of a motorcycle so others know when youre slowing down.

The Buell motorcycles have come a long way since the late 1990s, from tubular frames to frames with the gas tank included in the design. Riding a Buell motorcycle is unique in that you are included in the Harley, BMW and metric sportbike crowd. Most of the models look like the metric sportbikes but are actually open standard motorcycles, with the exception of the new 1125R and the Buell Firebolt.
