REVIEW: FIRSTGEAR Contour Mesh Jacket for Women
I recently had the wonderful opportunity from Motorcyclehouse.com to review a jacket made by Firstgear. As many of you already know, Firstgear is one of my very favorite gear companies for women’s gear. They not only think of amenities for all riders, but have a very good conceptual design for female bodies. This gear fits…

But it’s HOT out!
Well summer is here in full swing which places many motorcyclists in the dilemma of choosing a proper protective riding jacket.

Installing a frost/fog insert in you helmet with pinlocks…
I love my Nolan N104 and was fortunate enough to have a frost/fog insert lens included with my helmet purchase.

2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Racer….drool….
Though MCCN sez it isn’t a racer and gives so much technical info it made my head spin, I did read that all in all “without being as fast as it looks, it’s “still a lot of fun”. I am completely jazzed about the look of it and can’t wait to ride one, but apparently…

Motorcycling meets High Fashion!
Last week I found this really fun fashion collage site called Polyvore and I’ve spent lots of free time playing with it. You can go to any website and clip a picture and build a collage with the clippings. Being I was a hairdresser for a mere 18 years, I still have my inclination toward…

BOOK REVIEW–LIVE FULL THROTTLE by Tamela Rich
Being cynical by nature, I always scoff at “self help” or “inspirational” books. I feel that bookstores and digital media are bulging with inspirational books but the world in which we live seems so gritty and unchanged by this phenomena. I knew Tamela was a rider but also an outsource communications specialist and I wondered…
