I was taking a look through my archives and came across this interesting post. I think it’s pretty relevant because now is just a perfect time to do the kinds of upgrades I discuss. Let me know what you think… What I loved about my Fat Bob is that being a Harley the [...]

Schuberth C3 Modular Helmet I’ve been thinking about this write-up for a long time now, not quite sure how to put my feelings into words that won’t sound too over-the-top. It’s hard, you know. You could read all the real serious reviews of this helmet on the internet and get a little bit of understanding. [...]

Hello everyone – hope you are enjoying the weather. I’ve mentioned before that winter is a great time to buy a motorcycle and I’m sticking to my previous statement – especially if you don’t have to trade one in or sell one to benefit. You can get a terrific deal at all of the local [...]

I’ve had these boots for a little bit now – you might remember I used them on my ride back from Philly last fall when I picked up my Yamaha Stratoliner S (a bike I’ll own again one day). They were great, but one ride on the Turnpike wasn’t nearly enough to get a good [...]

Their agility makes them at home around town and their power and handling make them great long-range options. Speaking of options, there are a legion of them [...]

I bought that 2012 Triumph Speed Triple… I tried to fight it but it just fit sooo much better than the 2009 and I just have to admit that they knew exactly what buttons to push to push to get me to buy. No salesmanship, no hot girls telling me how handsome I look [...]

My wife and friends think I’m nuts… I got rid of my Fat Bob a few weeks ago. Nothing wrong with it at all – in fact it really was terrific, especially given that I’d really individualized it so perfectly. But ever since riding that 2012 Thunderbird Storm out to Cedar Point every little thing [...]

Last week we talked about certain upgrades I made to my Fat Bob, specifically air intakes, Dynojet’s Power Vision and a touched a little bit on my exhaust of choice. The exhaust that I chose for my bike was actually one that you, the reader, chose for me earlier this year in a poll – [...]
