Motorcycle Events & Resources
Life on 2 Wheels!
Every year the biker community gets excited about the new motorcycles that will be rolling off the production lines. From new touring cruisers to rocket bikes, there are plenty of new models to give motorcycle fans something to look forward to. Along with new bikes, there are always new parts and accessories that hit the market to help you look and ride better. Here are our picks for the best summer gear for 2016.

Helmets

Whether your state has a helmet law or not, many bikers like the look of an intimidating helmet. Safety is always the top priority, but being able to sport a Darth Vader or Kylo Ren style is even better. The Scorpion EXO-GT920 is a mean looking helmet that goes well with speed bikes. Available in black, gray or white, the EXO-GT920 modular helmet form a completely redesigned shell, providing a more aerodynamic profile and greater stability. Stocked with all the features required by the modern rider, the EXO-GT920 is equipped with a SpeedView drop-down sun visor, KwilWick II liner and aero-tuned ventilation. The helmet is made from premium polycarbonate shell engineered to be lightweight, strong and maximize impact displacement.

Leather Jackets

Everyone benefits from that second layer of skin to offer protection, should you spill and find yourself at risk for a little road burn. Even when not riding, you want a jacket that is stylish and casual in any environment. If you have the money, we recommend the REV’IT! Akira Air Vintage Jacket. Available in dark brown, this jacket forgoes the studs and collar for a sleek jacket that reflects modern biker style. Combining MotoGP styling in a fully perforated leather jacket with Tailored Technology through the use of Pull-up cowhide leather, this jacket is as safe as it is stylish. Dual-comp protectors and CE-level 2 rated Seeflex protectors come standard at shoulders and elbows, with the option to upgrade with the CE-level 2 rated Seesoft back protector insert. The outer shell is 88% leather, 11% polyamide and 1% elastane.

Waterproof Biker Boots

Where’s a biker without his boots? Almost as important as the jacket and gloves, a solid pair of boots will make riding more comfortable and your look more authentic. The Alpinestars Corozal Adventure Drystar Boots draw from extensive off- and on-road boot experiences. The mid-height design is less encumbering than a full off-road or motocross boot and the vulcanized rubber compound rubber sole provides excellent grip, while allowing riders to walk around without looking like a robot prototype. Protective features include a TPU shin plate and ankle protectors, reinforced heel counter and toe box, as well as Alpinestars’ bio-mechanical lateral flexi-blade system. These boots also have a Drystar membrane to keep out water. The front and rear bellow are made with lightweight microfiber for more durability and abrasion resistance.
