Casual Moto Wear: 5 Harley-Davidson Converse Shoes

There are plenty of Harley-Davidson motorcycle shoes and casual shoes out there, but one type of shoe that recently caught my eye was the Harley-Davidson Converse shoes listed on their website.

These aren’t Converse shoes officially, but they feature the same style while also offering Harley-Davidson branding.

They’re a really great option if you like both Harley-Davidson gear and you like Converse shoes. So, let’s take a look at these shoes and some great options Harley sells.

Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – June 26

At the end of every week, I like to look over the motorcycle news stories I’ve written at Web Bike World and grab three of the most notable or my most favorite.

This week we have EICMA, Norton’s former CEO, and Yamaha in the news with some good stories.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into this weeks biggest stories.

Klim Induction Gloves

Recently, I wrote an article about the Klim Induction Jacket, but there’s also offers the Klim Induction Gloves. A fair number of you seemed to really like the Induction Jacket, so I thought it best to do a post on the gloves, too.

These are great for summer, and feature good airflow and protection. if you need some top-quality short-cuff gloves, then I’d suggest you take a closer look at these gloves.

Let’s dive into the details.

Yamaha XT550 “La Lupa” by Francis Von Tuto

The Yamaha XT550 is one of my favorite bikes to see customized, and this bike called La Lupa built by Francis Von Tuto is no exception. It’s a beautiful motorcycle.

The XT550 is a unique motorcycle and it makes for a great scrambler or tracker design as you can see here.

It is a bike that came out in the 1980s and it has aged really well. This custom is great because it’s still recognizable as a Yamaha XT550.

Arai XD-4 Helmet

Looking for an amazing adventure riding motorcycle helmet? The Arai XD-4 helmet is quite simply one of the best.

Arai makes fantastic helmets. My colleague Jim Pruner fairly recently went to the Arai headquarters in Japan to check it out. He came away impressed, and I was impressed by his article about the experience.

That and the other various reviews out there extoll the virtues of the Arai XD-4. With that in mind, Let’s take a look at what makes it so great.

Confederate Motorcycles Becomes Combat Motors

In an effort to have the name more accurately reflect the company’s values, Confederate Motorcycles has changed its name to Combat Motors.

The company’s CEO, Ernest Lee, who I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with before, emailed me to let me know about the change.

It’s the right move by the company, and one I’m glad to see.

Casual Moto Wear: 3 Dainese T-Shirts

There are plenty of great gear brands out there, but Dainese is one that stands out. The company also has some great casual clothing as well, including some fantastic Dainese T-shirts.

So, you’ll never see me on a bike without at least a helmet, gloves, boots, and a jacket. With that said, you’ll also likely see me rocking some casual moto wear from time to time.

That’s why I thought it could be cool to do a post about my favorite Dainese T-shirts. Check out my picks below.

Oxford Toledo 1.0 Mesh Jacket

Earlier this week I showcased one of the more expensive mesh jacket options out there. Today I thought I’d take a look at the other end of the pricing spectrum for mesh jackets. What you find is the Oxford Toledo 1.0 Mesh Jacket.

The Toledo 1.0 Mesh Jacket is under $100 at some retailers and under $200 at others, and it offers a whole lot of features to love. There’s some good materials and what appears to be good construction, too.

If you’re on a budget, this could be a great option for you.
