One of the biggest inconveniences on the road for women is having to squat in the bushes while traffic is whizzing by, or trying not to touch anything in disgusting public restrooms. A new gadget called Whiz Freedom, according to the press release, takes the glory from men who swear by being able to pee standing up.

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.”
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
