It’s a feeling of pride when you realize that, after 672 days (which works out to 1,344 wears or 2,688 zipper pullings), you’ve worn out the main zipper on your Aerostich Roadcrafter and have to send it in for a new zipper…

Gear Review: Stylmartin Rocket Boots
Once I got my Worse For Wear jeans for Christmas, I knew I needed a pair of not-so-motorcyle-y motorcycle boots. Sure, I love my Vendramini Lady Winna boots for trips and commuting, but they’re a little much for a quick urban ride to grab brunch or go to the art museum or whatever. So I […]
Adventures In Boot Resoling
Adventures in Boot Resoling I love my Vendramini Lady Winna boots. So much so that when I wasn’t sure I could get mine resoled a year ago, I ordered a new pair direct from Italy since there wasn’t a US distributor who could get them for me. But I still held out hope of getting […]

First Look: New Metzeler Roadtec 01 Tires
New tire day! I decided to give the new Metzeler Roadtec 01s a try. First ride on them was only a few blocks home from Second Gear, but they feel much nicer than my old tires. And I love the speedy elephant on the sidewall…

First Look: Sena Bluetooth Audio
So I got a Sena bluetooth audio system for my bike today. This awesome icon was on the side of the box. Can’t wait to actually hear my GPS voice prompts again, with my Invisible Beauty!
Gear Review: Shoei GT-Air
Gear Review Time! TL:DR – If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. I’ve had my new Shoei GT-Air Wanderer for about a month and a half or so now, and I figured it’s about time for me to write up my thoughts on my new lid. Weight – this is a […]
