The Golden Gate Bridge closes down to one lane for construction on weeknights; however, the cones are in the middle of the second lane, leaving plenty of room for a motorcycle. I believe there is a LANE CLOSED sign on the construction side of the cones. I presume that if there's only one lane...

Cardo's firmware updater used to be built into a broken website. It required you to install some software on your computer that broke your ability to build your own websites, but didn't actually do a good job of talking to your Cardo. They've recently released a new version that is a...

I bought an AGV K3 SV helmet in September in medium-large. I've mostly been happy with it, but I fear it's broken in too much. I got caught in some high winds on the freeway around Thanksgiving, and the helmet felt like it was twisting about my head. I went back to Dainese (who sized and sold...

When I was 15, I learned Vespas were how everyone my age got around Italy and went "WANT!" My parents were like "hell no." Ended up getting a car and figured the days I might ride a motorino were behind me. Spent my early teenage summers cycling around town with a friend (who coincidentally...
