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 […]
I got this jacket right when I started riding. Well, when I started to get out of my parking garage and trying to ride around on streets. It was early September. And Septembers here are pretty much as hot as summer monts. With this said Rev’it Airforce was just the right fit. The very first […]
I admit it - I did not come up with this catchy title. I was discussing motorcycle riding with one of my friends the other day (he knows who he is). And I was sort of complaining that riding is great and saves you time especially on congested roads of Los Angeles. However you can’t […]
As my previous post suggests I have purchased a couple of Cortech items a couple of days ago. Namely saddlebags and a tank bag. Earlier today I had posted the saddle bags review. Now it is the tank bag’s turn.
The purpose of this bag really obvious - whenever you need to take some little things […]
I crave a road trip on my bike. I want to go far and just ride. And when I get cold I want to put on more clothes. And when I get hot I want to take the liner off my riding jacket. Wait, where am I going to put it in? And where would […]
I have been riding for over a month now. And the only riding gear I bought was a jacket (review to come a little later), Z1R Helmet and Alpine Stars riding gloves. I used regular jeans as my riding pants and the Adidas Super Nova Trail 5 sneakers that I have come to love. […]
