It's Already May??

Holy Cow...I haven't blogged since March!  What is wrong with me?  Well the entire month of April I was busy with work.  Now I'm busy getting as much saddle time in as possible because I'm riding my own to Sturgis this year.  I'm getting super excited for the trip. 

Took a little spin up to J & S Custom Cycles Open House today.  Support your local Motorcycle Shops!  I scheduled a check up for Sadie and she'll be getting a new set of grips too.  Can't wait!  I noticed again today that her axillary head lights are not working again.  Need to fix that because those extra lights help so I'm seen a little better. 

If you are looking for motorcycle gear you need to check out Double D Cycles.   Double D Cycles is owned by my buddy Dean D-Day Bartosh!  Dean is working to provide as many MADE IN THE USA products as he possibly can.  Dean is a Biker so he understands the quality of gear that bikers demand.   He will do everything possible to bring you great products with the awesome service that you deserve.  You will also want to check out the Double D Cycles Blog. 





I recently received an awesome cell phone case for my iPhone.  The best part of it is that it's got the Harley Davidson logo on it!  I totally love it and it totally protects my phone.  Go to Fuse plus you and check out all of their Harley Davidson cell phone cases.  Make your phone look totally cool with HD!  I have the one shown below but there is a large variety for you to select from. 


Thanks to everyone that continues to follow my blog.  I apologize for not keeping up with it as much as I did previously.  My adult job has been taking up lots of my time so my blog has suffered because of it.  Plus would you spend any time inside on a beautiful day if you had a pretty motorcycle like this? 

NOPE!!!  GOTTA RIDE! 





Motorcycle Gear - How Much Do You or Don't You Wear?

As I travel the roads of Iowa I see many motorcycles on the road and their riders adorn a wide range of attire. The thing that really puzzles me is the helmet, shorts, and sandals/flip flops look.

I'm all for being an individual on your motorcycle and having your own look. The part that puzzles me is when a person values their noggin but doesn't value their skin, legs, or feet. I've actually tried to shift with sandals on and I don't see how you can do it without messing up your toes.

Honestly, I don't wear full gear. I wear a 1/2 helmet, protective eye wear, gloves, jeans, short or long sleeve shirt, depending on the season, and boots. In cooler weather I may wear my leather coat or a lighter weight jacket.


So what do you wear? Are you the helmet, shorts, and sandals/flip flops rider, are you in between like me, or do you wear full gear? Maybe you don't wear a helmet at all but you wear all the other stuff or not. I'd love your feedback on this topic.

Ride on and be safe!
