‘Bean’re—Motorcycle Nomad’ book review
Ernie Copper

If you haven’t met him, you will surely recognize him anyhow; the lanky, top hat-wearing “Mayor of Fun” who goes by the handle of Bean’re. His larger-than-life personality is profiled in this latest offering, along with a sampling of his travels that illustrate what life without a permanent address... Read more »
TCX X-Street Shoes
Felicia Morgan
May 20, 2013
I was given a pair of the TCX new lace-up men’s X-Street full-grain leather riding sneakers to try out, even though they do have a line just for women that come with pink piping. Not being a pink kinda girl, I thought the distressed-black, high-topped style suited me best. TCX is the company that makes... Read more »
MadStad Adjustable Windshield review
Larry King
May 3, 2013
I do a lot of riding. Last year I did a 7,000-mile tour of the Rocky Mountains. The year before I spent 31 days and 11,000 miles riding in just about every kind of weather you can imagine on a tour of Alaska and the Canadian West. When I traded in my 2009 Ultra Classic it had 38,000 miles on the odometer.... Read more »
Duluth Trading Co. Ballroom Jeans
Kenzo
April 18, 2013
Ballroom Jeans weren’t designed for dancing. These are workingman’s pants. A diamond-shaped gusset in the crotch allows for ample comfort when straddling a saddle, regardless of how wide. The legs allow room for knee flexing and there’s no problem fitting the cuffs over my boot tops. These aren’t... Read more »
MGS True Duals
Larry King
April 17, 2013
Last year I decided to trade in my 2009 Ultra classic for a 2013 Road Glide Ultra. Before taking delivery of the new bike there were several mods I wanted. First on my list was to get rid of the stock exhaust and replace it with true duals for more power and less heat. Let’s face it: The stock Harley... Read more »
Ghost Rider Customs Kevlar Riding Jeans
Terry Roorda
April 8, 2013
These Kevlar Riding Jeans are the ideal attire for the fall—and that’s a double entendre. The first entendre is the fall to the pavement after misfortune has struck and then the inevitable sliding about that ensues. Short of chain mail, no material is as effective as Kevlar in taking that kind of... Read more »
ThunderMax with AutoTune
Shadow
March 28, 2013
The allure of the Harley-Davidson 103″ Twin Cam was one of the factors leading me to purchase my 2012 FLD Switchback. However, for the 103″ to perform at its highest potential, fuel management and airflow needed to be improved. And all bikes come from the factory running lean, evidenced... Read more »
Screamin’ Eagle Hybrid Cam Plate and High Volume Oil Pump Kit install
Buckshot
February 8, 2013
If the cam chain tensioners on your 1999–2006 Twin Cam engine have lasted 30,000 miles, consider yourself lucky, and be aware that it’s time to replace them to save yourself a lot of trouble and expense on the road. Since the engine has to come apart to replace the spring-operated original style... Read more »
Harley-Davidson Heat Boot
Shadow
January 23, 2013
Where I live in the Northeast U.S., the average temperature is less than 50 degrees for six months out of the year. If we want to extend our riding season, the proper accommodations have to be made. For those of us whose extremities are super-sensitive to cold, that means making sure our hands and feet... Read more »
Nolan N104 Modular Helmet review
Kenzo
December 23, 2012
The Nolan N104 Modular Helmet is a flip-up chin bar, full-face helmet with a Lexan polycarbonate shell and an internal retractable sunscreen. The shell is a new aerodynamic design and the chin-bar pivot system takes flip-up helmets to a new level of excellence. It’s lightweight—about 3 lb. 4 oz.—and... Read more »
