Aerostich Vest
Skip the electrics. Just put on some winter weight. The extra all natural insulation will really help in the winter. Bears do it. Whales do it. A couple of inches of good old fat will really keep you warm. A draw back might be that you outgrow your sumer gear and need to purchase winter gear that fi...

I have had a pair of Held Steve gloves for the past 2 1/2 years and have about 32,000 miles on them. They are holding up very well. I also bought a pair of Lee Parks touring gloves in tan for summer riding. The Parks are a bit cooler than the Helds. The Helds fit my hand better than the Parks and I ...

Just getting ready to put them back on for the fall. They do improve the available heat from the heated grips and also keep your gloves dry in a light rain or fog. They make a differrence on those colder fall mornings. Follow the instructions above for installation. I have not had any problems fitti...

I have a pair of the Oxtar Matrix boots that I got this spring. Comfortable and waterproof. I used to have a pair of Kochmann boots, I liked the fit and looks but they fell apart. I had two pair of Kochmann's replaced under warranty which my dealer handled and the last pair started coming apart at t...

Thanks everyone. The ride really was great. The Screamin Meanie really will wake up the dead. I had to check to make sure there was not a cemetary around before I took my nap and set the alarm. I got one for my son and it does wake him up! He used it in his frat house and if it didn't wake him up, i...

This past winter I bought and installed a Givi SR683 rack and a E460N topcase. I also got the backrest pad. It is on my bike more that the side cases. I got it to commute and for my wife who wanted a backrest. My briefcase fits inside. I used to use a Pelican 1490 case for my computer and strapped i...

Great write up. A 50cc is on my list of things to do. Your pictures brought back memories of my trip in 2004 to Las Vegas whee I rented a R1150R for a couple of days and took day trips to Zion NP in Utah and also cruised Lake Mead. Never did have the time between meetings to make it to the Grand Can...
