Nolan N21 Visor Joie De Vivre Helmet

Take a look at one of the coolest open-face helmets out there that you’re bound to find. This is the Nolan N21 Visor Joie De Vivre.

I was originally drawn to this because of the graphic, but it’s a helmet that has a lot of substance to go with its flashy styling. It blends vintage styling with modern construction and would be a great helmet for just about any motorcycle or scooter.

Let’s take a closer look. I’ll outline the helmet’s details, list some images, and add some videos.

Ducati Sport Classic GT1000 For Sale

The Ducati Sport Classic GT1000, of all of the bikes that have come out in the last 20 years, is the best-looking motorcycle out there.

Ever since I saw this bike in the second Tron (Tron Legacy)movie, I wanted it. There’s something about it in terms of how it looks that just draws me into it. It’s the single best example of a factory cafe racer I’ve ever seen.

Roland Sands Clash Jacket

Are you looking for a killer leather jacket that will catch eyes and keep you protected? Check out the Roland Sands Clash Jacket. It’s the perfect jacket for the style conscious rider who tosses a leg over a cruiser or cafe racer.

This jacket is just one of the nice jackets from Roland Sands Design, but it’s perhaps one of the best. It’s been out for several years now and has been proven to be good at what it was designed for—looking good and keeping you safe in a crash.

Let’s dive into the details of this jacket below, and then we’ll jump into some of the reviews that are out there as well as the images.

Honda XL175 Bobber by Andrew Fletcher-Love

Here’s a unique and interesing bike that I didn’t expect to see. It’s a Honda XL175 Bobber.

The builder Andrew Fletcher-Love took the Honda and transformed it into something seriously different. This is a bobber that looks unlike others.

Just when you think you’ve seen about everything, someone comes out with something new and killer.

Casual Moto Wear: 5 Best Harley-Davidson Shoes

Harley-Davidson is known for its motorcycles, but the company makes and sells a ton of gear, too.

And not just motorcycle gear. The company sells a lot of casual clothing, including shoes. I thought it would be good to take a look at the best Harley-Davidson shoes out there.

These are my favorites, and I also noticed that they are some of the most highly rated shoes on Harley’s website.

Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – July 10

Every week at the end of the week I like to do a motorcycle news roundup of my favorite stories that I wrote over at Web Bike World.

This week Harley-Davidson, BMW, and Langen Motorcycles stood out the most in the news.

So, without further messing around, let’s get into the most important news stories of the week.

5 Best Motorcycle Tail Bags

When you need some extra storage for your bike, simply turn to motorcycle tail bags. This diverse grouping of motorcycle luggage makes taking the things you need with you on your ride easy.

Because of the unique position of this piece of gear and uses, there are motorcycle tail bags for pretty much every bike out there.

Let’s take a closer look at this motorcycle luggage type and some of the best options out there.

5 Best Naked Sportbikes You Can Buy

The naked bike portion of the motorcycle market is a diverse one. Naked sportbikes are a big part of this segment and they only become even more important as time goes on.

A lot of companies are stripping their sportbikes of their body panels and fairings. From there it’s all about adding slightly wider handlebars and sometimes re-tuning the engine to make them better for street use. In the end, you get fantastic naked sportbikes that are designed specifically for street riding.

That said, these bikes are still good on the racetrack. Really what you get is a group of bikes that are sporty, fun, and stripped down. Let’s take a look at my top picks.

Getting the Right Motorcycle Rain Gear

At some point when you’re out riding, you will get stuck in the rain, and that’s when you need some good motorcycle gear—specifically good rain gear—if you want to stay dry and comfortable.

You can pony up the big bucks for riding gear that’s waterproof, but I’ve found it’s actually better to get yourself some motorcycle rain gear that you can stuff in a saddlebag or top case and pull out when you need it.

With that in mind, I thought it best to take a closer look at rain gear and make some recommendations.

Harley-Davidson Softail Cafe Racer by Mr. Martini

Nicola Martini is known as Mr. Martini in the custom bike world, and he built a Harley-Davidson Softail Cafe Racer out of an HD Fat Boy.

When most people think Fat Boy, they don’t think cafe racer. The Softail model is a cruiser best known for its solid cast wheels and badass attitude.

This transformation is a striking one and shows just how versatile the Fat Boy can be in the right hands.
