I have been using my Z1R Blade helmet for a half a year now. I felt that the time had come for me to graduate and get a good upscale brand helmet like Arai or Shoei. Not that there was something wrong with the Blade. I will still keep it in case I ride with […]
As you all might know last October I was forced into buying this jacket. And even though I am as big a Rev’it fan as Motodisiac is I sort of had no choice at the time. As my original review says I am fairly happy with this jacket. The only 2 stated problems were
velcro strap […]
This post is not necessarily a gear review but my quick rant about the Alpinestars jeans I bought some time ago. Motodisiac and I stopped at a local cycle gear store to kill some time. And there they were, on sale at 50% off. I decided to try them on as I needed a pair […]
I left office late the other day. Even though it was warm in the morning and during the day the evening chill was already in full effect. Normally this sort of weather won’t feel cold, the Rev’it Ultimate pants are fairly warm even without both liners. However my legs felt cold, something wasn’t right.
The front […]
I had already posted a review on my riding pants - Rev’it Ultimate. As I noted in that review “One of the best and unfortunately not used features of these pants are a full-length and short internal zipper for attachment to Rev’it jackets.” It has been unused because my winter jacket is not Rev’it.

I was sitting at the light this morning when fellow motorcyclist rolled up to me and gave me a nod. He was riding Ducati Monster and looked like your typical city commuter, with black messenger bag across his shoulder. His gear was somewhat lacking in my opinion, with only black bike jacket providing any kind […]
It has been cold the last couple of months for riding out here in Southern California. I could not quite put my finger on why despite wearing my riding pants with a thermo liner my legs were still sort of cold. And then I bought riding socks.
The more I ride the more I get the […]
When I started riding in the early fall of 2007 the weather wasn’t cold and winds were mild. A couple of months later I was freezing to death in my jeans that also offered absolutely no protection in case of a fall. I had to buy motorcycle pants.
Ever since I got my Rev’it Airforce […]
I have been shopping for a “winter” jacket for quite some time now. One can mock me for the word “winter” as temperatures rarely drops lower than 50F (10C) around here. In any event my Rev’t Airforce does not cut it for that type of temperatures especially if it is windy. Some time ago Motodisiac […]
Last Saturday Motodisiac and I rode out over 100 miles to watch the AMA Supermoto championship held at Morongo casino in Cabazon, CA. After quickly fixing a loose chain on my bike (courtesy of the “professional” tire change work of Moto Club Di in Santa Monica, CA a couple of weeks ago) we took off […]
