Having logged over 150k miles on a motorcycle, Ive spent my share of time riding in rain, hail, snow, sleet, wind, and even 120-degree heat. The best riding days are obviously the warm, sunny, blue-sky days. The best riding stories come from encounters with inclement weather.

The Wheel jockey is designed to get the rear wheel of your motorcycle up off the ground by 1 and ﾽ inches so you can rotate the tire for routine cleaning, tire inspection, chain maintenance and lubrication, and valve stem positioning. http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/maintenance-repair/tools-lifts/wheel-jockey-big-boy-lift-roll-rear-tire-maintenance-lubrication-repair-tool.cfm http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/maintenance-repair/tools-lifts/wheel-jockey-big-boy-lift-roll-rear-tire-maintenance-lubrication-repair-tool.cfm Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:11:08 MST The CTEK Multi US 3300 (CTEK 3300) is a smart charger that can handle many vehicles including: motorcycles, cars, lawnmowers, quads, jet skis, snowmobiles, scooters, and farm tractors.

The helmet we reviewed has sensible graphics, is lightweight, and is unusually comfortable. These are legitimate considerations when a motorcyclist heads out for a long ride. Of course these factors must be weighed against the real purpose of a helmet: i.e. safety and head protection. http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/clothing-accessories/helmets-accessories/xpeed-xcf3000-fullface-full-carbon-shell-motorcycle-helmet-cfm http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/clothing-accessories/helmets-accessories/xpeed-xcf3000-fullface-full-carbon-shell-motorcycle-helmet-cfm Thu, 09 Jun 2011 01:06:14 MST There are three important questions when considering a motorcycle lift. Will my bike be stable up on the lift? Can I work on my bike with out worrying about it falling due to weight shift or some other factor? Is the lift designed to interface with my motorcycle in way that will not damage any part of the motorcycle? The Pit Bull Motorcycle Lift provides a very favorable response to each of these questions. http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/maintenance-repair/tools-lifts/pit-bull-motorcycle-lift-cruiser-touring-manual-model http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/maintenance-repair/tools-lifts/pit-bull-motorcycle-lift-cruiser-touring-manual-model Wed, 25 May 2011 03:05:59 MST Traction Control Braking (TCB) is an innovative and inexpensive component that reduces wheel lock.

What do you first look for in a helmet? Looks, style, to make a statement? We are guilty of that, too. When the real reason for wearing a helmet is safety and protecting your head and face in an accident, why is our first concern not safety ratings? It should be, because not all helmets are created equal http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/clothing-accessories/helmets-accessories/shark-evoline-series-2-modular-motorcycle-street-helmet.cfm http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/clothing-accessories/helmets-accessories/shark-evoline-series-2-modular-motorcycle-street-helmet.cfm Thu, 07 Apr 2011 07:04:44 MST Freedom Performance Exhaust (FPE) manufactures a full line of exhaust system components designed to enhance the look, sound, and performance of your motorcycle.

I want clothes that I can wash, throw in the dryer, and when they come out&still fit. That cannot be said for most of my cute motorcycle t-shirts that come out of the dryer the size of Barbie clothes. They need to be dried flat to prevent shrinkage. How easy is that to do on a motorcycle trip? http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/clothing-accessories/other-clothing-accessories/vavavroom-those-girls-ladies-fitted-tee http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcycle-product-reviews/clothing-accessories/other-clothing-accessories/vavavroom-those-girls-ladies-fitted-tee Fri, 03 Dec 2010 04:12:46 MST Motorcyclists, young or old  rookies or veterans, soon learn that the riders rear end is the most used and abused part of the human anatomy when it comes to riding a motorcycle.
