Gear
Let’s face it, motorcycle gear isn’t getting any cheaper. I’m sure most of you are like myself and would like to get items that will get the job done without breaking the bank. When I first started riding, I spent very little money on gear (protective or functional). I’ve come to learn that by spending a little more, it makes the entire motorcycle experience much more enjoyable. We will evaluate any gear we use, give our honest opinion and list it on our motorcycle gear review page.
Safety
With the number of motorcycle endorsements going up every year, along with the number of motorcycle fatalities, we can’t be too concerned about safety. The more we educate ourselves about motorcycle safety the better chance we have at staying safe. Check out our motorcycle safety page for more info.

Motorcycling has been a favorite past time for many years. There seems to be a growing number of motorcyclists. I have met some individuals that have a bad opinion of us. I think it’s more of the unknown than anything. I feel it’s up to us, as motorcyclists, to help others form a good impression of the sport.
Many times you see people riding reckless on the highway and when others see that they tend to think we are all like that. Hopefully, when the subject comes up, we take the time to share with them just why we find it so appealing!

Cycle World International Motorcycle Show
The Cleveland show will be held January 29-31. I’m looking forward to attending. Just getting to look at the 2010 line of motorcycles is worth the 4 hour trip, but I will also get to look at some of the new accessories for this year. I will have pictures and a write-up after the show.
Friday January 29 - January 31, 2010 the Cycle World International Motorcycle Show was held in Cleveland, Ohio. We spent all day Saturday there, it was a great time.
Most street bike manufacturers were there, allowing us to check out all the latest models. The good thing about these shows is that you can sit on most of the bikes to get a feel of the size, weight and seating position. When talking with the representatives from each manufacturer, they were more than happy to answer all of my questions about the different bikes. Not only did we get to look at any motorcycle, we were interested in, but we seen the newest and hottest in accessories, apparel, security, etc. I felt like a kid in a candy store.
