http://www.pittedchrome.com/2008/01/best-motorcycle-products-of-2007.html


WebBike World's Best Motorcycle Products of 2007 were posted yesterday, and there were some surprises in the bunch.

** If you're not familiar with WebBike World, you probably should be. They have countless reviews and how-to's on motorcycling products, and are usually the first to get a detailed review of products we see here in the US. And best of all, they're un-bised un-solicited reviews from knowledgeable motorcyclists like you and me **

Here are some highlights on the "Best" list that pleasantly surprised me-

2007 Motorcycle Helmet of the Year

The GMAX GM68S helmet.

Goodness, a 100$ helmet?...from a new manufacturer?...Helmet of the year?...holy crap!



2007 Motorcycle Clothing of the Year - Jeans


SHIFT Lowdown Jeans
Pretty impressive considering Jeans, even "ballistic" style are usually looked down upon as inferior protection. Might have to check 'em out.

Why the heck would you want to ride a motorcycle?

I've heard that question a lot of times since I started riding in 1949. From my first ride on a ServiceCycle that I bought for $64 to my last ride last summer there was never any doubt in my mind that riding a motorcycle was the fun. Just plain fun. A pilot friend that I used to ride with said it was like low level flying.

From cruising across the great plains with nobody else in sight for hours to maneuvering through traffic in New York City, riding is always exhilarating. And there is that occasional time when it provides a high that cannot be described. It is a feeling of peace and unity with the surroundings I've never found anywhere else. It usually happens to me when I ride over the North Cascade Pass in Washington state. There is a place there that, as you round a curve on the way up the mountain, you see the high snowed capped mountain framed in the handlebars. You want it to last but, all too quickly, it passes. But you know it will happen again.

What kind of a life would we have without motorcycles?

Tracking Your Tracks Using USB Key

http://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf/dx/tracking-your-tracks-using-usb-key.htm


http://www.trackstick.com/

Trackstick is a USB Key-like device, ie, a device that plugs into your computer's USB port. When you're not connected to your computer, you can record your position in real time.

The Trackstick carries between 1 and 4 Mb of flash memory, enough to store up to one month of tracks. The Trackstick is a GPS without all the "stuff" (like a monitor, buttons, antenna, etc). You switch it on, and it records where you are with GPS accuracy.

1500cc Goldwing powered

Aiming at a unique synergy derived from the company’s vast experience in both motorcycle and automotive R&D programs and manufacturing, the conceptual study model is powered by a 1,500cc six-cylindered horizontally opposed engine developed for motorcycle application. The aerodynamic exterior and interior design inspired by a Formula racer were then carried over for the J-VX, an evolutionary version that made its debut at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show.

What is a Long Distance Ride?

What is a Long Distance Ride?
by Steve, Wednesday, April 18, 2007

Is gobbling up 600 miles on the slab the same as doing 300 miles on back roads?

That's the question riders are pondering on the Motorcycle Tourer's Forum today...
http://forums.delphiforums.com/....?msg=26016.1

So... do you ride long distances for the sake of the long distance and live for the open highway with no stop signs in front of you? Or do you just love to get out there and ride for 8 hours on town roads and check out the diners along the way that are hiding in the woods?
What's really at the root of all this is how you define a "long distance rider". Is it defined by the number of miles ridden in a day, or the amount of time spent riding in a day?

I might be one of those rare breeds who's just as happy cruising 80mph down the super-slab as I am flower-sniffin' through a twisty two-laner. For me, it's really about the time spent on the saddle and the "therapy" of riding along without a care in the world.

If you can string up 5 or 6 biker bars within a 150 mile loop, and spend a good 12 hour day riding and hanging out at each one, then can that also be considered a long distance ride?

Must a long distance ride be a test of endurance? Or, could it just be joy riding without thinking about the time or where the road is taking you?
