I have LeatherUps "Defiant Men's Black Padded Biker Jacket with Mesh" It is a great jacket. Superbly made and excellent leather. Easily equal to anything selling for 3 times the price. So your choice is also a bargain. I've also found this company's customer service to be among the best I've ever se...

... these limp-wristed part-time riders ... you're kidding ,,, right? Anyone who has the nerve to get on a vehicle with just 2 wheels and absolutely no metal between them and the road, other hard stationary objects and a wide variety of 4 wheel and more heavy vehicles whose drivers often seem inten...

This is getting really annoying. For the past couple months TMW has been popups that somehow evade the popup blocker. This is really annoying and ultimately counter-productive. I classify popups in the same category as spam. Why has TMW stooped so low? Gee whiz, what the guys' said - this is a grea...

I used to ride year-round in Connecticut - as long as there wasn't ice on the roads and I used silk or thin synthetic Thermax (I think it was) glove liners inside my insulated gloves - worked for me in the 40 degree F range. The other thing I found real handy was a "wind shirt" as the layer under my...

I find bikebandit to be overpriced and instead I use servicehonda.com and hdlparts.com; Another place that I hear is good but haven't used is ronayers.com for my bikes (1984 CB650SC and a 1991 Nighthawk 250) and the first two are absolutely superb resources. hdlparts.com is a lot easier to use beca...

as you all know, there's really no margin for error on a bike - and old rubber is pushing the odds the wrong way.

in addition to being pretty snazzy - it will increase your visibility which is a definite advantage

Just bought a 1991 bike that has been garaged since new. Both tires are original. The back one has got to be replaced - original owner "flatted" the tread in the middle. But the front tire looks like new - no cracks, etc. But it is 15 years old. My older brother, who rode bikes for decades - going b...

I found a company Beverly Bay that sells motorcycle covers as well as a large variety of other types of covers, etc. -- what they call luxury soft goods - factory direct. I bought the "Aqua-Plush Motorcycle Cover" - price was $49 and shipping was reasonable. I'm really impressed with the quality of ...

Got to throttle. The issue I've seen is that the 4-wheeler behind you probably won't stop for the yellow which would make you a hood ornament if you stop. I've had my pickup hit from behind no less than 4 times when I was stopped at a red light. In NYC I saw a 4-wheeler run right over a motorcyclist...
