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.”
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.
REVIEW: The American Motorcycle Girls 1900-1950
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 new taillight/brake light combination increases the ability of motorists to see riders from the rear, making riders safer on the road.
New Taillight/Brake Light Increases Visibility
Not long ago Ultimate Seats founder Des Hockley was just like all his customers: a biker with a back ache. He was on intimate terms with “butt burn,” a common problem that is caused by flat or forward-angled seats. The design causes the rider to slip forward. As a result, riders constantly feel the need to pull themselves back into the saddle, and this puts pressure on muscles and skin.

The HeliBars Roadster Handlebar Riser for the Can-Am Spyder improves comfort by relocating the stock handlebars and cover. CNC Machined from 6061 billet aluminum, the riser is designed to provide the rider with better handling ergonomics and greater low speed control.

One of these days you might get the itch to learn something about motorcycle/sidecar combinations. Maybe youve got children youd like to bring on the ride, but you refuse to risk their safety on the back of a two-wheeler. Maybe your vintage legs are getting a little wobbly and youre thinking about the stability of a three-wheeled motorcycle that doesnt fall down.
Baggers, dressers, touring motorcycles—whatever you call these hard-saddlebag-wearing, rear-tour-pack-packing powerful machines, they are often the last motorcycle a rider will end up owning. Why? Because as solo riders, most of us dont choose a bike that has all that storage space and protection before we know we need it.
Customizing a Harley-Davidson Street Glide
If you own a motorcycle or trike, at some point the need may arrise where youll need to transport your bike to a mechanic or take it with you on a vacation or weekend trip. In this case, youd need a trailer. The Cycle-Tow eliminates the storage, maintenance, and expense of a high-end trailer because it connects directly to a two-inch receiver on a truck or other four wheel drive vehicle.
There is little that can match the sublime sensation of riding down a peaceful backroad completely in tune with your motorcycle and the surroundings, or the exhilaration that comes from slicing skillfully through a series of challenging corners on a long descent. These moments are what good riding is all about and what every rider hopes to experience.
Must-Have Books to Become a Better Rider
At first, I thought this product was silly when I was asked to review it, but after installing it (which is relatively easy) and using it, I love it, especially when its freezing out, and you just want to roll right into the garage. F2P Technologies makes a secure, easy way to activate your garage door opener from the seat of your motorcycle. Rather than carrying a bulky remote, F2P Technologies has a system that includes a transmitter that’s powered by your bike’s battery through the headlight wiring.
